Hey, witch.
The wheel turns, and Spring arrives (hurray!) – a season of renewal, transformation, and potent magick.
The earth is stirring, the veil hums with energy, and it’s time for us also, to awaken from our winter slumber. Just as the land sheds its winter skin, we, too, must release the last remnants of the dark season, and make space for new ideas, projects and possibilities to take root.
This season is ripe with energy for cleansing, blooming, and rekindling your inner fire.
AND…. Self-care is a big part of that. As someone who works across the veils, it’s SO important to support your body, mind and Spirit so that you are strong and well-protected in your daily, and magickal life.
Spring self-care is all about renewal and rejuvenation. So let’s dive into a ferw specific ways to honour your magic, recharge your spirit, and step into spring’s power with intention!
1. Start your morning with fresh air
Open your windows first thing in the morning and take a few deep breaths. Even on colder Spring mornings, doing this is a gift to yourself.
Let the fresh spring air cleanse your space and your mind.
2. Switch to a floral or herbal tea
Replace heavier winter drinks with light, refreshing teas like chamomile, lemon balm, or hibiscus to align with the season’s uplifting energy.

3. Refresh your skincare with glamour magick
As the season of renewal, Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine – not just physically, but magically.
Glamour magick isn’t about vanity; it’s about radiating confidence, self-love, and harnessing your inner power. By infusing intention into your skincare rituals, you transform them into self-care spellwork.
How to add glamour magick to your skincare routine:
- Charge your products: Before using your moisturizer, serum, or facial mist, hold it in your hands and whisper affirmations like “With this, I glow with confidence and beauty.” Visualise it absorbing that energy.
- Use seasonal botanicals: Incorporate spring herbs and flowers like rose, chamomile, or aloe for their soothing and enchanting properties. Rosewater, for example, promotes love and attraction, while chamomile encourages inner peace.
- Use mirror magick: As you apply your skincare, look into the mirror and see yourself as your most radiant, powerful self. Speak positive words to your reflection to reinforce the energy.
- Enchant a face mist: Create a DIY facial mist with moon-charged water, a few drops of essential oils (like lavender or geranium), and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt for cleansing. Use it as a refreshing boost throughout the day.
4. Notice the signs of spring
Make a habit of going outside for a walk, daily.
Observe nature’s awakening. Pay attention to budding trees, emerging flowers, and birdsong. Give nature your time, your presence and your appreciation. Soak her UP.
5. Add fresh flowers or greenery to your space
Bring the energy of Spring indoors, by decorating your home with fresh flowers, bulbs in bowls, houseplants, or even cut branches and sprigs of budding shrubs.
It’s an easy way to lift your spirits and refresh your environment.
6. Swap out your scent for something light and floral
Change your perfume, essential oils, or candles to uplifting scents like lavender, jasmine, or citrus for a seasonal energy shift.
7. Do a gentle somatic movement flow
Practice slow, grounding movements in the morning or evening.
Allow your body to move as she needs to – really tune in and make space for whatever expressions need to emerge through your physical form.

8. Hydrate with sun-infused water
Sun water is just what it sounds like – water infused with the frequency of the Sun!
Add lemon balm, mint, or raspberry leaves to a glass of fresh water and place in the sunshine on a sunny day for a few hours. Then drink for a refreshing, nutrient-rich spring boost to your body and spirit.

9. Refresh your wardrobe with lighter, brighter pieces
Are you one of those witches who lives in black during the winter months (or at any other time of the year?)
Start swapping out heavier winter clothes for breezier fabrics and colours that reflect the season’s renewal. If you can’t completely let go of your darks, swap in a few brighter flourishes to lighten the tone!
10. Declutter one small space at a time
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be overwhelming!
Tidy up a drawer, shelf, or corner of your home each day to refresh your space and clear stagnant energy.
11. Spend time in sun light first thing each morning
Step outside for natural sunlight a few times a day.
If possible, make sure natural light is the FIRST light you are exposed to in the morning (that means looking outside before switching on a lamp or looking at your phone.
This will not only boost your mood but help regulate your hormones and energy levels.
12. Make mealtimes more seasonal
Incorporate more fresh spring produce into your meals.
Seek out the first spring greens, vegetables and herbs, for nourishment that will enliven your senses and align with nature’s rhythms,

13. Switch up your journaling routine
If you don’t journal, then consider this your invitation to start! Journaling is one of the most accessible and transformative self-care practices of all, and IMO absolutely essential for witches, magickal women and cunning folk who want to increase their power and agency in this life.
During Spring, mix things up a bit – write outside in the fresh air, add pressed flowers to your pages, or set simple seasonal intentions for renewal and joy.
Whether you’re new to the practice, or an old-timer, here are some journaling prompts to try:
14. Refresh your bedding for the new season
Sleep is sacred!
Wash your sheets and hang them on the line to air.
Swap out heavy blankets for lighter ones.
You could even add a floral or herbal linen spray (like lavender or chamomile) for a fresh, restful sleep. Use Moon water for extra enchantment and lunar magick
15. End the day with a moment of gratitude
Before bed, reflect on something that made you feel refreshed, connected, or inspired that day. Spring is all about growth – appreciate the little things that bloom in your life, and more will come your way.
