July Full Moon: The Buck Moon

July's Full Moon is called the Buck Moon, symbolizing growth and transformation. During this time, male deer, or bucks, are growing their antlers—representing strength, renewal, and stepping into your power. This moon invites you to embrace your inner strength and release anything holding you back. It’s a perfect time for self-care, empowerment, and celebrating your personal journey.

For boudoir enthusiasts, the Buck Moon can be a time to reflect on how you express your sensuality and confidence. Channel its energy to feel radiant, powerful, and unapologetically yourself.

How to Host Your Own Full Moon Ceremony

1. Set the Mood:

   • Create a sacred space. Light candles, burn sage or incense and gather any tools you feel connected to, such as crystals (moonstone, selenite, or clear quartz are great choices), tarot cards, or flowers.

   • Consider wearing something that makes you feel powerful—lingerie, a silky robe, or even nothing at all!

2. Cleanse Your Space and Yourself:

   • Use sage, palo santo, or incense to cleanse your area.

   • Take a salt bath or a shower with intention, imagining the water washing away any negativity.

3. Set Intentions:

   • Write down what you want to release and what you want to call into your life. Be specific and heartfelt.

4. Moon Meditation:

   • Sit under the moonlight or near a window where the moon is visible.

   • Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and visualize the moon’s energy washing over you. Imagine it filling you with light and strength.

5. Release Ceremony:

   • Safely burn your list of things you’re releasing, allowing the smoke to carry them away.

   • Speak your intentions out loud to solidify your manifestation.

6. Close with Gratitude:

   • Thank the moon for its guidance and take a moment to feel the powerful energy you’ve created.
