Full Moon Magic: The Buck Moon (Growth, Courage, and Stepping into your Power)

One year ago, I nervously hit "publish" on the very first episode of Witch Beneath the Willow. Today, we're celebrating one full year, our 50th episode, and the final installment in our Full Moon Magick series.What a beautiful moon to end on.Known as the Buck Moon, this July full moon is named for the season when deer grow their magnificent antlers—a symbol of strength, resilience, and the quiet, steady growth that happens one day at a time. Together we'll explore the history behind this moon, its many traditional names, the folklore of the Wort Moon and Thunder Moon, old weather lore, magical correspondences, and why this year's Buck Moon in Aquarius encourages us to find strength not only within ourselves, but within our communities as well.As we close this chapter, I also want to take a moment to celebrate what we've built together over the past year. Whether you've been here since the very first episode or you've only recently found your way beneath the willow, thank you for making this little community what it is. I truly couldn't have imagined this journey, and I'm so grateful you've chosen to walk it with me.Journal Prompts:• What does the most confident version of yourself look and feel like?• What is one short-term goal and one long-term goal you want to focus your energy on?
