April is a month of renewal, where the warmth of spring (finally!) coaxes the earth into bloom. Flowers push through the soil, rain nourishes the land, and the energy of growth is everywhere.
For witches, this is a time to shake off the last remnants of winter and step fully into the vibrant pulse of the season.
With the Pink Moon lighting up the sky and nature bursting into life, April is rich with opportunities for magick. This is the perfect time to plant intentions alongside seeds, work with the elements through weather magick, and connect with the playful yet potent energy of the Fae.
In this guide, you’ll find 20 powerful tasks to weave into your craft. This article contains some affiliate links, meaning when you click and purchase, a small portion of that comes our way, at no extra cost to you.
There’s no need to do all the tasks suggested here – choose what speaks to you, and let the energy of April guide your practice.
1. Work with Rain Magick
April showers hold potent cleansing energy.
Collect rainwater in a glass jar, setting an intention as you do. Use it to cleanse your tools, wash your altar, or add to spellwork focused on fertility, healing, or emotional release.
Label and store different types – storm water for power, gentle spring rain for renewal, and mist for divination (for example).

2. Plant your witch’s garden
April is the perfect time to sow seeds of intention—both literally and spiritually.
Choose plants with magickal properties related to energy you’d like to cultivate this year – lavender for peace, basil for prosperity, or rosemary for protection, for example.
As you plant, whisper your desires into the soil, asking the Earth to nurture them. Keep a dedicated section for moon-charged herbs and flowers to enhance your spellwork throughout the year.
3. Get ready for Beltane!
Beltane arrives on May 1st (Mayday!) and yes… it’s not in April. But unless you do a little bit of prep, Beltane will take you by surprise, and then it’s gone!
Beltane marks the height of spring’s fertility, a time of passion, creation, and union between the divine masculine and feminine. Late April is the perfect time to prepare for the sabbat by gathering fresh flowers, setting intentions for love and abundance, and planning a ritual fire or candle spell.

4. Create an eggshell powder for protection (cascarilla)
Eggshells, or cascarilla, have been used in folk magic for centuries as a powerful protective agent.

Use in candle dressing, spell jars, or as a protective mark on your body before ritual work.

5. Work with the element of air
April’s winds are filled with shifting energies – perfect for working with air magick.
Go outside and feel the wind on your skin, breathing deeply as you call in clarity and transformation. Work with feathers as messengers, use incense to send prayers skyward, or write an intention on paper and release it into the breeze. The air carries your desires where they need to go.
6. Craft a wind chime spell
Infuse the wind with your magick by crafting a wind chime from bells, bones, shells, or enchanted charms. Charge each piece with intention, whether for protection, prosperity, or love. Hang it near your doorway or window, and every time the wind stirs it, your spell is reactivated – whispering your desires into the ether.

As you braid, chant affirmations or whisper desires into each knot. Adorn it with feathers, beads, or charms, and hang it in your home or sacred space to manifest its energy.

Spring is the season of new beginnings, making it a perfect time to create a sigil for whatever you’re looking to manifest this season.

12. Celebrate the Pink Moon
April’s full moon, named for the blooming pink phlox, radiates the energy of love, renewal, and harmony.

Spring herbs hold potent energy for healing and magick. Steep dandelion, mint, or nettle in hot water, whispering your intention into the steam. Drink as a potion for renewal, use as an offering, or sprinkle onto your altar for a seasonal blessing.
14. Cleanse and charge crystals in the spring sun
Place your crystals outside to bathe in the strengthening sun, allowing them to soak up the vibrant energy of April sunshine.
Citrine, carnelian, and quartz thrive in sunlight, while others, like amethyst, may fade – so choose carefully. As you lay them out, set an intention for cleansing, and invite the amplification of whatever energy you most desire.
