The July full Buck Moon, also called the Thunder Moon, refers to the antlers of male deer (bucks) being particularly large at this time of year. Bucks shed and regrow their antlers every year, producing a larger and larger set as the years go by. … The Buck Moon is a time take charge, stand tall and strong, and claim your power and success. Focus on intentions related to your education, career, and sex life.  Decorate your altar or table with flowers like gladiolus, blue star flower, snapdragon, astrantia, cistus, epimedium, and phacelia; light burgundy and green candles; herbs like vervain, bay, garlic, and fennel; crystals like clear quartz, tiger’s eye, carnelian, selenite, black onyx, turquoise, ruby, and diamond; and buck antlers. Gather your Anointing Oil, Buck Moon Incense or an Intention Incense, Purification Herbal and Salt Water, and salt. Cast your salt circle. Consecrate the circle and all of the items in it with your purification water. Light the incense, then anoint the candles with the oil blend related to your intention and light them. Ask the gods/goddesses to be with you and watch over you. Ask the Buck Moon to lend you her power. Meditate upon the candle flames and visualize your intentions manifested. Take several deep breaths, straightening your back and holding your head high. Imagine the moon filling you with strength, illuminating your body from your feet to the top of your head. Imagine and visualize the stately buck standing tall before you, gazing into your eyes. Imagine yourself as the buck, then firmly state each of your intentions out loud, “I will […..] (or I am […..])” 7 times each, followed by, “So mote it be.” Take three more deep breaths and continue to meditate upon the flames for as long as you need. When ready, snuff out the candles and burn them on each night of the full Buck Moon. … Set a clear bowl of distilled water outside or in a windowsill facing the moon after dusk. Bring it indoors and away from the light of the sun before dawn. Do this each of the three nights of the full moon to charge your moon water. … When you’re ready to relax and restore, enjoy a hot herbal bath and warm cup of herbal tea.
