Witch outfits have undergone a modern transformation in recent years. Traditionally, the iconic witch costume consisted of a long black dress, pointy hat, and broomstick. However, contemporary designs have deviated from this classic look to offer a more stylish and updated aesthetic. Modern witch outfits often incorporate elements of fantasy and high fashion. Instead of the plain black dress, witch costumes now feature intricate lace patterns, sheer fabrics, and bold colors. From long flowing gowns to fitted minidresses, there is a wide range of options available to suit individual preferences.
Under the full moon, you’ll want to first prepare by cleansing the mind. It’s also believed that epsom salt soaks in the tub can clear your energy field or aura, so this is a great ritual to add into your day. While you are soaking in the tub, put on binaural beats, frequency sounds, a guided meditation or any audio that helps you to relax. You can also add to your experience by lighting candles or incense and adding some of your favorite essential oils or dried flower petals into the tub!
After the list has turned to ash, you can bury these ashes outside or flush them down the toilet and again say I release what no longer serves me with love and allow yourself to leave it behind you. Each person can tailor their full moon ritual to their own personal needs and desires, so there s no reason for anyone to feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
From long flowing gowns to fitted minidresses, there is a wide range of options available to suit individual preferences. In terms of accessories, witches today have a variety of choices. While the classic pointy hat still remains a popular choice, modern witches often opt for more unique headpieces, such as feathered crowns or wide-brimmed hats adorned with ribbons and flowers.
Get Witchy With These Full Moon Rituals
So you want to get witchy? Well, then you simply have to love the Moon—that’s just how it is. If you want to supercharge your life with lunar power, a Full Moon is the time to do it. Why? Well, the Full Moon is the ~energetic peak~ of the month, and you can tap into its power with lunar rituals. Sound magick? Yes, it actually is.
Below, find three simple rituals you can perform on any Full Moon you wish—as long as it’s not during an eclipse. Magick + eclipses = chaos! During a Full Moon, you can work with just one of these rituals, or you can combine all three to form one longer ritual. Let your heart be your guide, baby!
Ritual 1: Make a sigil for your intention
Full Moons and New Moons are both good times to form an intention—basically a tweet for your spiritual life that acts as a guiding force for your magick. For a Full Moon intention, you can either focus on something you want to call into your life (because a Full Moon is the peak of the lunar cycle) or something you want to let go of (because each day after the Full Moon, the lunar light shrinks, reflecting your own ability to let shit go).
Choose something specific you want, and write it down. Once you have your intention, you can make a charged symbol, known as a sigil, to begin your manifestation (aka asking the universe for what you want and being open to receiving it).
- Write out your intention: “I’m a rich bitch, and I receive an extra thousand dollars a month with ease.”
- Cross out any repeating letters, so you’re left with: i m a r c h b t n d e v x o u s l w
- If you want, you can also cross out the vowels. You’d be left with: m r c h b t n d v x s l w
- Grab a pen and paper and write out whatever letters are left, overlapping them and turning them into a visual symbol to represent your intention. The less this looks like an actual word, the better! Get creative!
- Draw a circle around the finished product. You’ve got yourself a damn sigil.
- Charge this sigil by focusing on your intention as you do anything that raises your energy—like jumping around, hula hooping, chanting, singing, dancing, or masturbating (hello, you’re practicing sex magick now). At the peak of your ~activity~, look at your sigil and picture yourself sending energy into it. Then rest in the afterglow as you visualize what it would feel like to come true.
- After you’re done charging your sigil, destroy it! You can tear it up, throw it out, burn it up, or bury it. It’s in your subconscious now and it’s doing its job, even if you’re not aware of it.
Voilà, baby! That’s magick!

Ritual 2: Write affirmations for the rest of the lunar cycle
Just like sigils, you can use a Full Moon affirmation either to call something in or to release any limiting beliefs you have. Choose your affirmation carefully, because you’re going to be saying it for two whole weeks.
An affirmation to support your intention may be: I am a rich bitch; I am an abundant witch; I receive with ease. An affirmation to release negative beliefs may be: I release all negative beliefs that limit my ability to be prosperous.
Say your affirmations three times each, every day for the two weeks following the Full Moon, and watch your life transform. P.S. You can turn both of these into sigils as well.

Ritual 3: Charge a candle with your intention
Once you have your intention, you can use it to charge a white or silver candle (white is for attraction, and silver is for lunar magick). Here’s how:
- Either write out your intention or create a sigil.
- If you like, carve a sigil or a word representing your intention into the candle. (This is optional.)
- “Dress” the candle by spreading oil or honey (for sweetness) from the base of the candle to the tip. If you’d like, place various herbs on a paper towel or plate and roll the candle in them. Select herbs that match your intention, like lavender for healing, mint for money, roses for love, bay for protection, or chamomile for relaxation.
- Take a moment to meditate on your intention.
- Place the candle in a candle holder or on a plate (melt the bottom of the candle first to make it stick), and light it.
- Read your intention or affirmation out loud.
- Charge the candle by letting it burn all the way down. Do not blow it out—snuff the flame if you need to, and then relight it when you can focus on your intention.
- Dispose of any excess wax in a garbage can at an intersection (the modern witches’ crossroad!) to disperse the energy.
Have fun and enjoy some Moon magick!
