This reading was inspired by the below piece from the 2025 Witch’s Datebook. I use the questions within the written piece to address the stones we carry as spirits and what can be dropped as this is a moon about taking a hard look at our lives (realism). This is also a new culmination chapter since the full moon is in Aries this month and next month will be in Taurus, and so on, we are back at the beginning of the zodiac cycle since Aries is the first sign.
What stones does your spirit carry? The desert. Sitting in the discomfort of what is because you will start to get visions about what it’s really about, and how it can strengthen you.
Are any of them handed down from generations before you? The self. Getting caught up in the stew of life, be the chef not the stew.
Consider whether all the stones you carry are necessary. Maybe some are not even yours. Which ones will you keep? The faultline. Knowing when you’re in danger of taking things too far, when you’re after something no matter what the cost.
Which should you drop? Agape. Devotion to the ego, your phone. Instead devote yourself to something higher.
Leading up to the full moon I made the below red (which red is Aries’ main color-anger, blood, impulse, bravery, initiation, fire) velvet cookies again and infused the butter with Motherwort, Mugwort and some Chamomile mostly for insight and intuition into next steps in my life and it helped a lot these last few days leading up, it brought me some enhanced new ideas and revelations.
I’m sharing the recipe, it’s so very simple. Also, you can easily match the color that corresponds to any full or new moon zodiac sign with cookie colors or frosting colors themselves and then add the herbs and you’re basically ingesting a spell for divine manifestation the energy of which will then come back out through your voice, behavior, action, etc. which is so magickal :)
1 package of cookie mix
4 quarters butter
Herbs of your choice
-pour cookie mix into bowl, set aside
-fill pan with water halfway, then place glass bowl inside, light stove to medium heat
-put butter in glass bowl and as water in pan boils a bit watch butter melt
-drop herbs directly into glass bowl into melted butter, stir a few times, then let sit on low heat for 5 mins or so
-strain butter mixture into cookie mix you set aside before and add 1-2 tablespoons of water to cookie mix, then mix it all until doughy
-place dough pieces on sprayed aluminum foil and bake at 375 for 8-10 mins
