Witching season is here, sweet babes! For the next four weeks, we'll be sharing a treasure trove of self-care practices, prompts, spells, and suggestions to make this Season of the Witch as juicy as possible. Welcome to week one! Click here to download the October challenge calendar so you can follow along over the next month.

This week is all about setting intentions, new beginnings, and clearing the way for your unique magic to shine. Resolutions aren't just for the New Year, babe. You can recommit to yourself, your magic, and this juicy life of yours any time it strikes your fancy! When we set intentions for ourselves, we're reaffirming our right to start fresh, releasing what's no longer working, and changing course. Practice giving yourself permission to begin again (or start for the very first time!) as you work your magic this week. 

Remember to mark off the days of self-care you complete on your October calendar, and tag us on Instagram using the hashtag #TendingYourInnerWitch for a chance to win our juicy giveaway! Learn more about how to enter the giveaway here.

A Spell to Level Up Your Self-Care

Step up this week's salt and lavender bath and make it a ritual! Soothing lavender is a potent ally for calling in deep ease, restorative rest, and permission to pause. As we glide towards the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, give yourself the gift of this juicy bath ritual to calm those frayed nerves and nourish your foundation.

You will need:

• Dried lavender 
• Epsom salts
• Amethyst crystal or essence (optional)
• Your favorite body oil
• Tea light candles + matches

As you draw your bath, fill the room with your tea light candles. As you light each one, give your attention over to your body. If you've been craving deep, nourishing rest, affirm that care is on the way. When you hot bath is ready to slip into, add your epsom salts and a handful of dried lavender. Then dive on in, witch!

Keep your amethyst crystal of essence nearby as you soak, and after you've let yourself bask for as long as you need, use your amethyst to set an intention for the weeks ahead. If rest has felt inaccessible or low on the priority list, set an intention to prioritize these moments of bliss. Time spent re-filling your cup is vital, babe! Ask for amethyst's support in putting your self-care first so that you can show up in your juicy life feeling revived, luxurious, and magical.
