We’ve sourced many of the additional materials you’ll need, and the links contained here may be affiliate, meaning if you click and buy, we gain a small commission at no extra cost to you.

So gather your supplies, and lets begin!

1. Infused Summer Candles

These are powerful and practical. Create ritual candles infused with your seasonal intentions using herbs, essential oils, and charged crystals. Great for altar use or spellwork.

Supplies you’ll need:

• White soy wax

• Or: Pure White Beeswax Pellets – the crème-de-la-crème for candlemaking

• Candle wicks

• Essential oils – this set of 6 high-quality oils contains the essentials for candle making

• Crystal chips (rose quartz, citrine, etc.)

• Upcycled jars or tins for containers

Melt the wax using a double boiler (or grab this Candle Making Kit with Boiler). Add a few drops of essential oil and stir. Place the wick in the centre of your container. Pour in your wax and sprinkle crystals and herbs on top as it cools. Let set for 24 hours.

2. Pressed Flower Bookmarks

Nothing says “summer witch” like slipping a wildflower between the pages of your grimoires. These laminated bookmarks make perfect gifts or spell tools.

You’ll need:

• Heavy books (or a flower press – we love THIS one)
• Pressed wildflowers (try yarrow, daisies, or Queen Anne’s lace)
• Cardstock backing (optional)
• Home laminating machine – this one is brilliant
• Laminating sleeves

Lay out your flowers inside the laminating pouch, with or without backing. Run it through the laminator and trim the edges. Add a hole and ribbon charm if you like.

Bonus tip: infuse a personal sigil into the layout for hidden spellwork.

3. Wax-Dipped Leaves and Petals

Seal the magic of midsummer blooms forever! Dip leaves or flowers into beeswax to preserve them for altar decor or to burn in seasonal spells.

You’ll need:

• Beeswax pellets or leftover candle wax

• A small pot or wax melter

• Freshly picked leaves or petals (roses, oak, lavender work well)

• Tweezers

Melt the wax slowly and dip each petal or leaf, letting the excess drip off. Hang to dry or lay flat on parchment. You can write sigils onto the wax once it hardens with a metal stylus.

Bonus tip: Consecrate your stylus, transforming it into a sacred tool and use it only for magickal writings and practices.

4. Solar Water Infusion

Brew a batch of sun tea with herbs, crystals, and sunlight. Use as a ritual mist, floor wash, or energetic cleanse. Or if using edible ingredients, drink within the day for a solar boost!

You’ll need:

• A clear glass jar with a lid

• Spring or distilled water

• A selection of herbs like mint, basil, lemon balm, raspberry leaf or calendula

• Optional: a safe crystal like clear quartz or rose quartz

Fill the jar with water and herbs, cap it, and place it in direct sunlight for 2 – 12 hours. If using a crystal, ensure it’s water-safe (no selenite or malachite). Strain and store in a spray bottle for cleansing spells or post-ritual refresh.

5. Crescent Moon Herb Drying Rack

Why settle for a plain herb rack when you can turn it into a suspended lunar altar?!

This craft lets you dry your magickal herbs while honouring the gorgeous crescent phases of the moon – perfect for kitchen witches and green witches alike.

You’ll need:

• A sturdy branch, dowel, or wooden hanging rod (a cut-down curtain rail would do)

• Twine or natural jute string

• Mini crescent moon wood cutouts or repurpose your own.

• Small screw-in hooks (or eye screws) – THIS is a versatile set

• Herb drying clips – THIS pack of 40 is ideal

• Dried or fresh herbs: mugwort, rosemary, thyme, lavender

Instructions:

Start by prepping your “rack”: use screw-in hooks evenly spaced along the branch or dowel. Tie twine to each one so it hangs down like a mobile.

Attach a small clip to the ends of each piece of twine – this is where your herbs will hang to dry.

Spaced along the dowel, glue or tie on your wooden crescent moons. You can paint them black, white, or even gold for extra flair.

Hang the whole thing with sturdy twine from a ceiling hook in a dry, airy space — near a window with indirect sunlight is perfect.

Optional spellwork: Tie on a charm, sigil tag, or crystal at the full moon to amplify the magic while your herbs dry.

6. Resin Flower Pendants

Preserve summer blooms and botanicals in wearable art.

Get your supplies:

• Crystal Clear epoxy resin kit
• 60 jewellery resin moulds
• Triple moon goddess resin mould – we LOVE this one!
• Smaller moon and star resin frames – these are lovely for delicate jewellery.

Pour a thin layer of resin into the mould, add flower, and top with more resin. Add a jump ring and a leather cord or chain to wear.

Optional: add a pinch of glitter or ground herbs for spell power.

7. Witch Jar Terrarium

Think of this as a portable green altar or enchanted landscape in a jar.

You’ll need:

• A clear glass jar with lid

• Moss

• Crystal chips

• Tiny charms or a mini broom

• 3.3ft (short) battery operated fairy lights

Layer moss, then crystals, then charms. Coil the fairy lights around the inside if desired. Seal your jar, bless it, and place it where you need grounded or fae energy.

8. Seashell Rune Set

Turn seaside finds into a full set of magical runes. They’re tactile, travel-friendly, and carry the sea’s potent energy — ideal for summer divination work.

You’ll need:

• 24–25 small flat seashells (similar sizes work best)

• Fine-tipped paint pens, we recommend these Poska pens

• Optional: Mod Podgeor sealant spray

• A pouch or small fabric bag for storage

Clean and dry your shells thoroughly. Using your Poska pen, carefully draw one rune symbol per shell. Let dry fully, then seal with Mod Podge if desired. Keep them in a pouch for travel readings, beach rituals, or intuitive pulling.

Tip: You can find numerous resources and books on runic divination and symbolism to guide you in selecting the appropriate symbols for your set. This book by Lara Veleda Vesta is incredible.

9. Spelled Fruit Jams

Capture the magickal peak of the season in small-batch fruit jams, charged with intention and any corresponding herbs. Add lavender for peace, a tiny pinch of basil for love, or thyme for courage — each spoonful becomes a tiny spell.

You’ll need:

• Jam jars – repurpose those you have, or try THESE

• Fresh fruit, sugar, lemon juice

• Optional: culinary herbs, edible flowers, or cinnamon sticks for stirring spells

Use strawberries, raspberries, or peaches at their sun-ripened best. Clean and prepare your fruit, and add to a pan with sugar. As the jam simmers, stir clockwise and whisper your intention.

Keep testing to see whether it’s done, and then pour into jars, cool and label your jars with sigils, affirmations, or planetary glyphs, and gift them as edible charms.

• Dried herbs like chamomile, mint, or calendula

• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil (we love this brand) 

• Metal bath bomb molds

To make, mix all the dry ingredients. Slowly add the coconut oil and essential oils, then spritz with witch hazel (this will keep fizzing to a minimum) until the mixture just holds shape. Pack tightly into moulds and let dry overnight.

Drop into your next ritual bath with a whispered spell.

11. Scented Wax Charms

A fire-free way to scent a space and infuse it with intention. These gorgeous decorative wax charms can hang in closets, drawers, or near your altar.

You’ll need:

• Jute twine

To make, melt the wax and mix in your oils. Pour a thin layer into moulds, add herbs while still soft. Once fully cooled, poke a hole and loop through a string to hang.

These are great for money, love, or protection-focused blends, and will also add a gorgeous scent to your home.

12. Foraged Wand with Crystal Tip

Wands are one of the most personal tools in a witch’s arsenal. Create your own from a foraged branch and empower it with a crystal of your choosing.

You’ll need:

Extra tip: Consecrate it under the full moon before use.

You’ll need:

• Plain wooden cubes

•  OR a pyrography tool – this one is ideal

25. Herbal Smoke Bundles

Gather summer’s most powerful herbs – rosemary, mugwort, chamomile, yarrow and lavender- and tie them into bundles using bright coloured cotton or natural hemp.

Let them dry and then burn later for purification (much like Native American smudge sticks).
