Episode Details

Join me as we explore the Sturgeon Moon, from its connection to the ancient, prehistoric sturgeon fish to some of the other names associated with this full moon including the Hungry Ghost Moon. We will delve into the spiritual themes and symbolism surrounding this moon alongside the flowers, trees, herbs and crystals traditionally connected to its energy.

We will also explore some of the fae beings linked to water and this time of year including the Nereids, discovering who they are and the mythology surrounding them. From there we will look at ways you might work with the Sturgeon Moon within your own life and witchcraft practice particularly around themes of reflection, legacy, abundance and what you wish to carry forward into the seasons ahead.

To finish I share a River Stone Ritual by The Peculiar Brunette along with a collection of journaling prompts and a Tarot or oracle spread to help you connect more deeply with the energy of the Sturgeon Moon.

The song referenced is Thank You by Alanis Morisette (I didn't even give the song title properly! Sorry I was on a tangent) ;-)

Prayer to the Sturgeon Moon by The White Witch Parlour 

‘I call to the energies of the sturgeon moon, I give thanks for the warmth and abundant crops that summer brought but now I shall begin the preparation for winter, as the battle between light and dark begins, I find my own balance within. I pray the moon heal and calm my emotions for the month to come. As I open my heart to the flow of the universe and the lessons I may need to learn’
