About this episode

This episode explores the symbolism and spiritual significance of the Buck Moon, including its folklore and associated deities.

Hello Witches The Buck Moon rises at the height of summer when the forests and fields are alive with abundance and the stag carries his newly grown antlers. In this month’s Full Moon episode we are exploring the deeper symbolism of the Buck Moon and what this powerful lunar phase invites us to reflect upon. Together we will journey through its folklore, mythology and spiritual meaning discovering why the stag has become such a powerful symbol of renewal, resilience and personal sovereignty. We will also explore the deities and spirits traditionally connected to this moon including Cernunnos, Herne the Hunter, Pan, Artemis, Diana and the mythical Norse stag Eikthyrnir whose antlers were said to nourish the rivers of the world. We will touch upon the earth spirits and fae associated with this season and consider how the natural world mirrors our own inner cycles of growth. I hope this episode encourages you to honour how far you have already come, celebrate your own becoming and remember that just like the stag, your greatest strength often grows quietly before the world ever sees it. Rituals referenced can be found here…
