Hello Magickal Beings!!!
I love the moon…As females, we feel innately called to her. She is magick and beauty, reflecting the wild woman who lives in each of us. On June 11th, get ready to embrace the vibrant energy of the Strawberry Moon!
The Strawberry Moon gets its name from the season when strawberries reach their peak bloom. Known as the Rose Moon due to the vibrant blooms of roses, it’s also referred to as the Honeymoon, signaling the beginning of the honey harvesting season. All the names point to the lingering sweetness around us currently. In Lore, this moon is also known as the Faerie Moon, ripe with magick, as the ability for communication with the faerie world is strong now.
The Spiritual Meaning of the Strawberry Moon
Spiritually, the Strawberry Moon is all about the energy of strawberries, symbolizing love, abundance, and renewal. The strawberry was a symbol for Venus, the Goddess of Love, due to its heart shape and red color. It should come as no surprise, then, that love, passion, and heart-centered energy are a central theme of the moon and the month. This is your opportunity to let go of what no longer benefits you and create room for love, joy, and all the wonderful experiences you’re prepared to welcome with the Summer Solstice and Cancer season on June 20.
June arrives cloaked in the energy of the goddess Juno—protector of women, guardian of marriage, and fierce force of transformation. The winds of change are stirring, and this moon, ruled by truth-seeking Sagittarius, does not whisper—it roars. It calls on us to shed illusions, to stretch beyond comfort, and to question what we thought we knew. This is not a season for small dreams. Luna’s silvery gaze invites us to walk boldly into becoming, to trust the alchemy of risk, and to meet our potential with open hearts and untamed wonder. Last month’s moon had us dance with our shadows; now, the light asks us to rise. Under this truth-lit sky, remember: if the dream lives within you, it’s already halfway real.
This is one of the sweetest full moons of the year. Go out and enjoy the sweetness that nature provides, and most of all, let love flow all around you.
A Lovely Ritual for some June Moon Magick:
June's Full Moon is a time for protection, making decisions, personal strength, love, and fertility. Charge a bowl of strawberries under the light of the full moon and consume them the following day to possess the power of the moon inside you.
“Light a few pink & white candles…make a circle of flowers and strawberries…sit or stand in the circle visualizing them protecting you…know that you are safe and relaxed… breathing deeply, close your eyes and feel the power of the moon pouring into your circle into you.”
Strawberry Full Moon Ritual Wash
Fill a medium-sized tub with fresh water taken from either the ocean, a lake, a river, or simply rainwater. Add seasonal flowers, strawberry leaves if available, and any preferred herbs. Leave the bowl outside in the sun for the day. At night, as the sun goes down, form a circle of candles around you and dip your hands in the bowl, start brushing your hands in a downwards motion from your head along your entire body. While cleansing, think about the changes you are making, and are experiencing...the purpose is to let the light and warmth inside you merge with the moon’s energies. Once done, step out of your circle and end the ritual. Do not forget to blow out the candles!!!
