As autumn invites us to slow down, the waning moon offers a beautiful reminder that we don’t have to carry everything forward into our next season 🍂
This Sunday’s group crystal healing activation and cacao ceremony offers a gentle opportunity to release what feels heavy, restore your energy and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
We’ll explore how crystals can support our intentions, how the chakras can help us notice where we need balance, and how the waning moon can guide us through a little seasonal letting go ~ creating space for more peace, harmony and magik ✨
If you feel called to join us, I’d love to welcome you 🧡
⏰ Registration closes soon

The Waning Moon asks: What am I ready to release now, and what would I love to make space for in this next season in my life? 🌙
With you on the journey ~
Love, Sophie

I know what me and my little witch will be doing on the weekend then! ✨ 🎃💎🍂
It’s September… which means we can officially start being spooky little gremlins again, right?! 👀🎃
You LOVED our Mystery Cauldrons last year, so of course … they’re back! 🖤✨
The cauldrons may be the same, but the surprises inside have had a VERY exciting upgrade… 👀
🔮 Mixed Tumblestones
🖤 A mystery bracelet
💀 Mystery spooky carvings… and yes, CARVINGS plural! 👀
Because one spooky surprise simply wasn’t enough! 🙊
I’m just waiting for our sealing wax to arrive then I’ll be busy filling and sealing these little cauldrons ready for their new owners 🕯️✨
🎃 There will only be a limited number available, so if you missed out last year, make sure you keep your eyes peeled! Once this batch disappears into the spooky abyss, there won’t be any more 👀🥺
Who’s excited to pick a cauldron and discover what’s hiding inside? 🧙♀️🖤
P.S: Happy spooky season witches! 🎃✨

As we draw towards the end of summer, may you enjoy the new season’s gifts, a new kind of light and the juicy fruits of harvest ready to be savoured…with each, ripe bellyful reminding us of the unlimited life force carried in the seeds within 🍒
May you relish these long, last days of the light and make use of them to do all that can be done now - so you can surrender unto the darkness and the welcome rest it brings 🍂
May this month be filled with magik and miracles for us all ✨
Enter the season of transformation, release, gratitude and abundance.
Enter the season of the witch ✨
With you on the journey
Love your moon sister,
Sophie 🌺🌙❤️

🌻 SEPTEMBER WWI EVENTS ( 🕊 plus early-bird offers)
The ‘Ber months are but a kiss away, and our Witchy Women’s Institute Calendar of events is filled with the cosiest, most nourishing and magikal happenings to welcome you to the season of transformation, letting go and abundance 🍂
🎃 We have two beautiful witch-crafting events for the sage mages and magikal maidens among us to honour the harvest: exploring how cultivating gratitude can support wellbeing, strengthen resilience and help us become more open to the abundance we wish to welcome into our lives ✨
✨ Our Witchy Women’s Craft Club is limited to just 5 women and our Magikal Maiden’s ‘Craft Club event at Elgin Yoga Centre has just 3 tickets remaining!
🍑 Returning for one day only is our Annual NKD RETREAT 🤍
During this intimate, seated, safe, candlelit session, we join in circle to share our stories, to hold space, to connect with mama cacao as she opens our hearts and brings clarity and light to the parts we have tried to shame, hide, reject and abandon.
Together through sisterhood, safety and body-heart-soul healing experiences including ritual, ceremony, sharing and somatic healing: we release, shift and transform old traumas, wounds and patterns that are encoded within our cells, trapped and felt in our body and nervous system…loving ourselves back to life and re-writing our body stories 🌺
🌟 Limited to just 5 women, held at a private location on Elgin high street
💎 Plus, we have our beloved Cacao + Crystals Group Activation, Ritual and Cacao Ceremony taking place at Elgin Yoga Centre, inviting us to ease into the season of magik and transformation with this beautifully restorative and relaxing 75 minute Crystal Chakra Activation, Manifesting Ritual & Cacao Ceremony 💎

Best thrift store find ever?! 💎 😍
I found this gorgeous decanter with a removable core in my local Barnardo's charity shop in Elgin for just £5 (around $10) - perfect for a hot day, filled with ice... but even better on a full moon night, packed with crystals!

I usually charge my water on a selentite plate but this is just perfect for loading with my precious gems...including those sensitive ones that don’t like the water (yes, I’m looking at you pyrite and aragonite 👀 )
This month I am calling in greater self love for receiving all I desire and desire, releasing fears and blocks around wealth, more luck, happiness, and grounding - especially as there is SO MUCH CHANGE happening in my life right now (yes, universe, I know I asked for it... 🙄 😬 😉 😘 )
