🔥 July Intention-Setting for Witches
July came in hot — check out our July round up here – literally and energetically. The sun is high, the days are long, and the magic? Bold, radiant, and ready to move. But if you’re still feeling a little scattered, slow, or just unsure what to focus on, you’re not alone.
Witch, let’s get intentional. 🌿
This mini ritual is your soft-but-structured way to set empowered intentions for the month ahead — no pressure, no perfection, just clear energy and solar-aligned magic.
🌞 Why Set July Intentions?
July carries big fire and water energy. We’re dancing between Cancer’s emotional depth and Leo’s bold blaze — which makes it the perfect time to anchor into what you want to feel and grow, not just what you want to do.
You’re preparing the ground for Lammas (Aug 1), the first harvest — so what you plant energetically now will be reaped in just a few weeks.
✍️ Your 4-Step Intention-Setting Ritual
You’ll need:
- A quiet space
- A journal or grimoire
- A yellow, orange, or white candle
- A crystal (sunstone, carnelian, or citrine are fab)
- Optional: mint, rosemary, or sunflower petals 🌻
🔮 Step 1: Choose Your Word of the Month
Close your eyes. Place your hands on your belly. Ask:
“What energy do I want to embody this month?”
Words might bubble up like: clarity, boldness, devotion, joy, discipline, creativity. Let one rise. Trust it.
✏️ Write it at the top of your page or on a small piece of paper.
🧿 Step 2: Set a Feeling-Based Intention
Skip the productivity goals. Ask instead:
“How do I want to feel by Lammas?”
Do you want to feel more grounded? Expressed? Sensual? Successful? Free?
✏️ Journal a few lines about what that feeling would look like in your daily life. Keep it rooted and real.
🕯 Step 3: Create a Symbol or Sigil
Now, let that feeling and your word become a symbol.
You can:
- Doodle something abstract that represents your energy
- Use an existing symbol (sun, spiral, flower, flame)
- Create a sigil using your word/intention (there’s no wrong way!)
📓 Sketch it into your grimoire or intention page.
🔥 Step 4: Charge It with Solar Magic
Place your word + symbol under sunlight for a few hours (ideal: midday). Add your candle, herbs, or crystal nearby.
As it basks in the sun’s fire, say aloud:
“I charge this intention with joy, truth, and bold summer magic.”
“As I plant, I will harvest. As I shine, I will grow.”
Let the candle burn down or snuff it with gratitude.
🌻 Optional Add-On: Lammas Anchor
Below your symbol, write:
“By August 1st, I will…”
(insert one soft action or embodied outcome — e.g., feel at peace in my home, express my creativity, speak up once a week)
This turns your intention into something beautifully actionable.
✨ Final Thoughts
Magic doesn’t always need a full moon or three pages of spells.
Sometimes, all it takes is a word, a feeling, and the willingness to show up to yourself.
So here’s your permission to slow down and choose your July energy — with clarity, courage, and lavender-scented joy. 🌸🔥
