The Inked Grimoire

Nature is one of the most potent sources of magick. It connects us to the Earth’s rhythms, nourishes our spirits, and inspires our craft. While most of us would love to live in a cottage in the middle of the woods, the reality is most of us are suburban or urban witches. So, even something as simple as walking barefoot in the grass may be a challenge. Nature remains, though, and through small, intentional shifts in your environment and routines, you can commune with Mother Nature every day.

Welcome to the first Full Moon of the year! While this moon is traditionally known as the Wolf Moon, it might be more fitting to borrow the Celtic name, the “Stay Home Moon,” for this one. Positioned opposite Pluto and in the deeply emotional sign of Cancer, this Full Moon is bound to stir up big feelings, complex relationships, and possibly some mid-month anger.

Witches can weave magick into every day, week, and month of the year. With that in mind, here’s your guide to living more magickally throughout the year.

Happy Full Moon, witches! Our final Full Moon of 2024 helps bring a sense of completion to our end-of-year. With Mercury going direct on the same day, the Cold Full Moon is an invitation to embrace all parts of yourself and share your authenticity fearlessly with the world.

In the latest episode of "Busy, Gritty, Inked and Witchy," Morgan dives deep into the transformative power of letting go of self-imposed labels and expectations.

Yule is the time when tradition may be the most present in our day-to-day lives. Whether you celebrate Yule, Christmas, or any of the many other holidays in December, pretty much everywhere you look, there’s some tradition, legend, or myth there. The trees we erect in our homes, the candles we light, and even the recipes we cook from cookbooks passed down from generations help make this time of year truly special. But what about some of the lesser-known traditions and legends? Let’s dive into some of our favorites!
