As we enter the month of July, we find ourselves swimming in the healing waters of the sign of Cancer. Cancer is known for its nurturing qualities and is the sign associated with mothers and motherhood. While we are in the sign of the crab, our focus will be on self-care, caring for our families, familial and tribal bonds, and comfort and security.
I've decided to do something new this month – you've got to shake it up sometimes. Usually, I would dive into the connections between the sign of Cancer and the myth of Achilles (he was such a mama's boy), but instead, I'm going to give you a list of the different ways to use Cancer magic so that you can get the best results out of the month.
5 Magical Ways to Use Cancer Season to Your Benefit
- Healing Magic – In kabbalah, Cancer is the sign associated with all forms of healing. Cancer is a water sign, and the symbol of water reflects cleansing and purification. If you have health concerns that you want to work with magically, now is the time to do it. Recommended Candles: Spiritual Cleansing, Healing, and Heart.
- Protection Magic – When a crab is threatened, it crawls into its shell to protect itself from the outer world. This month (which includes the kabbalistic negative three weeks), protection magic is enhanced because Cancer is the only sign ruled by the Moon, so it receives a full dose of lunar power to charge up your protection spells and keep the nasties at bay.
Recommended Candles: Fiery Wall of Protection, Guardian Protector, and Flying Monkeys. - Kitchen Magic – “Home is where the heart is,” and it’s through the preparation of food that we often show our love. There are many resources available for kitchen magic, but intentionally charging herbs and foods to bring forth the energy you desire is a great way to work with Cancer energy. As my good friend Jacki Smith told me, "Everything is kitchen witchery; use what you have around you at the moment." So, the next time you grab that Frank's Hot Sauce, you can use it to heat up any area of your life that needs it. Yeah, even that *wink, wink* area!
Recommended Candles: Happy Home and Home Blessing Kit. - Prosperity Magic – Ordinarily, people took to Venus and the sign of Taurus for prosperity. However, Cancer is a sign of "nurturing," and it helps things grow properly. We can use Cancer's energy to focus on what needs to grow in our lives and give ourselves the food we need. You can also use this energy to bring energy to anything new that you have just given birth to, whether it be a new relationship, a business, a project, or even a living being. In that case, you can use Cancer magic to help it grow properly.
Recommended Candles: Prosperity, Everything and Then Some, Goddess Affirmation Candle. - Ancestral Magic – The sign of Cancer has to do with our roots – you know those people we came from. Ancestral Magic is highly effective because it evokes spirits that are invested in your well-being. After all, they helped (regardless of how far back they go) create you. So, put them to work whenever you can! I suggest you make an ancestral altar somewhere in your home. After all, if you honor them, they will return the favor. Recommended Candles: Wakin' the Dead, Ancestor Blessed Herbal, Miracles Blessing Kit.
