The Beaver Moon, typically rising in November, is named for the time when beavers build their lodges in preparation for winter. For witches, the energy of this moon is perfect for establishing security, fortifying the home, and reinforcing personal boundaries. With the cold of winter approaching, the Beaver Moon encourages us to focus on what grounds us and keeps us safe.

The Beaver Moon is a time for spells centred on home, boundaries, and security, ideal for grounding yourself in stability and ensuring that your physical and spiritual space is protected.
