There's a grounded element to the new moon that was exact early this morning, thanks to the influence of Saturn which is only about 3 degrees away. This also makes me think about the fact that Pisces rules over the feet which is a really lovely reminder to firmly plant your manifestations and dreams in the ground.

With the moon occurring in the sign of Leo (exact at 1:25 PM ET on Sunday, February 5, 2023), it’s time to let your own light shine. Be the most authentic version of yourself. Embrace that confidence and step into the spotlight. With the moon passing through this sun-ruled sign, the universe is giving you a big old invitation to connect who you are at your core with who you show to the rest of the world. 

I see a new moon rising! This Saturday (January 21, 2023), we have a new moon occurring in the sign of Aquarius that is also kicking off the lunar new year just as we’ve recently exited both Mars and Mercury Retrogrades.

While most modern witches work closely with the Moon, many of our practices, rituals, and spells incorporate the Sun’s magic. For example, in kitchen witchery, you stir sunwise or sun ways (clockwise, also known as deosil) to infuse your intentions into your creation.

This cheese bread is an excellent addition to your Imbolc or Brigid’s Day feasts and a wonderful, go-to recipe for any Kitchen Witch to keep in their spellbook.
