Welcome to the ultimate June Witchcraft Guide – your grimoire companion for harnessing the sun-drenched magic of Litha. As the Summer Solstice approaches, this guide illuminates how to align with June’s potent energies through deities, crystals, and faery alliances.

🔮 June Witchcraft Guide & Correspondences

When the oak king reigns and honeybees dance at their hives, June’s magic ripens with solar intensity. This is the season of St. John’s Wort glowing with trapped sunlight, of carnelian stones pulsing like miniature suns, and faery processions weaving through the twilight. Here’s your essential guide to the herbs, crystals, colors, and spirit allies that make June’s witchcraft uniquely potent—from Litha’s bonfire traditions to the Strawberry Moon’s wild wisdom.

Deities & Spirits

This June Witchcraft Guide reveals the pantheon amplifying solstice magic: solar gods like Apollo charging golden hours, fertility goddesses like Venus blessing rose gardens, and nature spirits dancing through firefly-lit thickets. Invoke these allies during Litha rituals for heightened manifestation – our guide recommends offering honey to Aine at twilight for faery favor.

Solar Gods: Apollo (Greek), Ra (Egyptian), Lugh (Celtic).
Goddesses of Love & Fertility: Aphrodite (Greek), Venus (Roman), Aine (Celtic).
Nature Spirits: Faeries, dryads, and elemental fire/earth spirits (especially active during Litha).
Aine’s Connection: Celtic goddess linked to Midsummer bonfires – light a candle in her honor for sovereignty spells.
St. John’s Wort Lore: Named after John the Baptist; hung over doors on Litha to repel evil spirits.

✨Expanded Lore:

Aine, the Celtic goddess of summer, was said to ride through fields on Midsummer Eve blessing crops. Offer her meadowsweet or honey!

Crystals & Stones

According to our June Witchcraft Guide, three sun-activated stones are essential: Carnelian for courage spells at solstice peak, Citrine for abundance grids, and Moss Agate for grounding frenetic Gemini energy. Place them in noon sunlight as this witchcraft guide advises – their solar-charged vibrations magnify Litha intentions.

Sun Stones: Carnelian (vitality), Citrine (abundance), Sunstone (joy).
Earth Energies: Moss Agate (growth), Emerald (love), Jade (harmony).
Protection: Tiger’s Eye (courage), Amber (ancestral connection).

Crystal	Use in Ritual	Charging Tip
Carnelian	Courage spells, solar invocations	Place on soil at dawn
Emerald	Heart-healing, relationship magic	Bathe in moonlit water

Herbs & Flowers

Forage with wisdom using this June Witchcraft Guide: Harvest St. John’s Wort at zenith hour for protection sachets, collect elderflowers under Sagittarius moon for prophetic brews, and wildcraft roses for love charms. Our guide emphasizes ethical harvesting – take only 10% and leave oak acorn offerings.

Sacred to Litha: St. John’s Wort (protection, sun magic), Lavender (peace), Chamomile (healing).
Love & Passion: Rose petals, Jasmine, Yarrow.
Wildcrafting: Harvest Mugwort (prophetic dreams) and Elderflowers (faery magic).
- ⚠️ Critical Disclaimer:
  - Positively ID plants (e.g., Hemlock resembles wild carrot!).
  - Avoid endangered species (use ethically sourced alternatives).
  - Toxic Alert: Do NOT ingest foxglove, lily-of-the-valley, or monkshood.

✨Foraging Ethics Section:

Before harvesting St. John’s Wort (a potent Litha herb), ensure it’s abundant in your area. Uprooting kills the plant—snip stems mindfully. Never take more than 1/3 of a patch.

Colors

Wear solar gold to amplify spells, weave earth-green ribbons into protective charms, and burn orange candles for creative fire. Chromatic magic meets the season’s vibrant soul.

Solar Hues: Gold, yellow, orange.
Earth Tones: Green, brown.
Festive Accents: Red (for passion), white (purity).

Animals & Insects

Bees hum prosperity spells, fireflies carry faery messages, and hawks reveal hidden paths. Decode June’s animal omens—and how to honor these wild allies.

Symbols of Vitality: Bees (community, sweetness), Butterflies (transformation), Hawks (vision).
Nocturnal Guides: Fireflies (inner light), Owls (mystery).

✨Symbolism Deep Dive:

Bees represent community magic and the sweetness of life. Place a bowl of sugar water outdoors to honor them (avoid honey—it can spread disease to wild bees).

Elements & Astrology

Fire rules the solstice sun, earth grounds ritual work, and Gemini’s communication magic shifts to Cancer’s intuition. Align your craft with June’s elemental tides.

Dominant Elements: Fire (solstice energy), Earth (fertility).
Zodiac Signs: Gemini (communication) until June 20, Cancer (intuition) after.
Moon Phases & Astrology Highlights
- June 2025 Moons:
  - New Moon (June 1: Gemini) → Set communication intentions.
  - Full Strawberry Moon (June 21: Sagittarius) → Harvest magic, adventure spells.
