Until Sunday, 20th January, we are in the Celtic month of the Birch Tree. In Scotland, birch trees are abundant. This is a very good time of year to begin things, or to renew things, like renewing your magical vows/dedication, stepping up learning about the craft, starting your magical journey. It is a time of beginnings.
Magic is, as many of us know, a journey through life. In fact is is what we use to help navgate that journey.
The birchg tree is a purification tree (hence the reason witch's brooms or besom, were made using birch twigs), and is also a tree of protection. It is a moon tree, so any working at this time should be done at night, preferrably under moonlight.
Please note that we are on a waxing moon at the moment and this is the moon for the rowan moon, rather than the birch moon, which has passed - however we are still under its influence until the 20th.
Starting new spells/projects/resolutions are more likely to work and be seen through not, at this time. Re-affirming your dedication to this path will be welcomed especially now.
Taking more interest in nature at this time (while cold), will benefit now - feeding the birds at this time of year is essential for their survival and gives you a closer connction with nature.
