When I first began celebrating the seasons in line with the wheel of the year I never imagined the ripple effect it would have on my life as a whole. Checking in this way has made me more aware of how I can align my life to reflect the waxing and waning energies of the seasons and be able to channel that to manifest my intentions. As spring swells up with life, we are greeted by the fertile energy that is the essence of Beltane. While the earth vibrates with vitality, it’s essential to tune in so that energy can be...

Last week I shared some ways I like to energetically cleanse my home (aka sacred space) in the HOW TO CLEAN LIKE A WITCH post. Today we’re going a little deeper down the rabbit hole and introduce some more ways to add magick to your cleaning routine.   First, start off with a purge. I know, it’s a big task. But once you’ve cleared out some forgotten and no longer needed items the next phases are significantly easier. It’s also important to note that this doesn’t need to be done in a single day. Taking on these tasks one at...

Illuminating your sacred spaces   This phrase gets thrown around often, it’s our slogan, if you will. What exactly does it mean though? First, a little back story on how we came up with our name!   We always hoped Waxing Moon House would be more than just a space for us to sell our candles. We dreamt of (and are still dreaming up) ways to expand the shops offerings and community. I am deeply influenced by the moon and am in sync with its cycle, with this in mind, as well as the vision for our business, we came...

Matthew and I crafted our first ever candles with soy wax, back before Waxing Moon House was born. We assumed this was our best option. As we evolved as candle makers, and a family that strives to live a healthy lifestyle, we learned that soy wax is a better option than paraffin wax, but it wasn’t the best and actually presented a lot of questions in regards to overall health and well-being.   Cue beeswax: the material used to craft candles for churches and royalty since the ancient times. It’s the only wax that has zero carbon footprint! There is...

Cleaning like a Witch   With COVID-19 in full swing, we’re all on high alert and taking spring cleaning to a new level. In today’s post I have put together a list of ways to magickally cleanse your home, in addition to that squeaky clean shine.    With the beginning of spring always comes the urge to clean. Opening the windows, deep cleaning the carpets and mattresses, donating old clothes and rearranging the furniture are a few things that usually happen during spring cleaning. Once the physical cleaning is complete though, we have take it a step further by adding an...

Why use bitter soup for healing when Sweetwater is everywhere? -Rumi⁠ Many moons in the making, Megan of @sweetwateronline and I have been working to get this project out into the universe. We’re both mothers, partners, and business owners so life can really fly by!⁠ Megan reached out to me on a whim. At the time we had never spoken and lived on opposite ends of the state. Asking if I’d be interested in a collaboration project, she obviously found the right girl. I had been daydreaming of having my candles in unique ceramic pieces and the universe aligned when she...
