The Strawberry Moon: Magic, Meaning & a Ritual for Sweet Transformation

As the first full moon of June rises, it brings with it the warm whisper of summer and the promise of ripening sweetness. Known as the Strawberry Moon, this lunation draws its name from the wild strawberries that begin to ripen during this time in parts of North America. For brujas, spirit workers, and lunar devotees, the Strawberry Moon is more than a seasonal marker—it is a potent time for transformation, abundance, love, and the soft yet strong energy of growth.

Folklore & Symbolism of the Strawberry Moon

The name "Strawberry Moon" comes from Algonquin and other Indigenous North American traditions, who associated this full moon with the time to harvest wild berries. In a spiritual context, strawberries symbolize love, sensuality, sweetness, fertility, and feminine power. This moon invites reflection on what is beginning to ripen in one's life and what sweetness is ready to be embraced or shared.

In folk witchcraft, the Strawberry Moon is seen as a bridge between the flowering of spring and the heat of summer—a liminal moon, ideal for setting intentions related to love, beauty, healing, and self-worth. It’s also an ideal moon for honoring the Divine Feminine in all her forms: goddesses of love, nature spirits, and ancestral mujeres sabias.


Spiritual Themes of the Strawberry Moon

  • Ripening and reward – What have the seeds of spring become?

  • Sensual magic – Embrace body, beauty, and joy

  • Heart healing and emotional renewal

  • Lunar abundance – Prosperity and fertility in all its forms

  • Offering sweetness to spirits and ancestors


Strawberry Moon Ritual: Ritual de Dulzura y Renacimiento

This ritual calls on lunar and ancestral energies to invite sweetness, open the heart, and release old wounds. Best performed outdoors or near your altar with moonlight, strawberries, and candles.


Supplies:

  • 3 fresh strawberries (washed and whole)

  • A bowl of rose water or moon water

  • White, pink, or red candle

  • A small piece of rose quartz or clear quartz

  • A piece of paper and pen

  • Optional: a sprig of fresh mint, honey, or cinnamon for added sweetness


Ritual Steps:

  1. Prepare the Space: Cleanse your space with smoke (copal, rosemary, or palo santo), spray, or sound. If working outside, thank the land and leave a small offering of water, cornmeal, or flower petals.

  2. Create Your Circle: Arrange the candle at the center, with the strawberries and water bowl nearby. Place your crystal near the candle. Breathe deeply. Feel the earth under you and the moon above.

  3. Invoke the Moon & Ancestors: Say aloud:“Luna de junio, madre brillante, trae dulzura, trae sanación. Llamo a mis ancestros con respeto, para guiarme en esta transformación.”

    "June Moon, brilliant mother, bring sweetness, bring healing. I call upon my ancestors with respect, to guide me in this transformation."

  4. Sweetness & Release: Write on the paper what you wish to release—old heartbreaks, self-doubt, bitterness. Fold it and hold it over the candle (safely) while visualizing it leaving your body and spirit. Then tear it into pieces and bury or compost it later.

  5. Strawberry Blessing: Take a strawberry and dip it lightly in the rose/moon water. As you eat it slowly, say: “I invite the sweetness of life. I open to love, to joy, to new beginnings.” Repeat with each strawberry, one for love, one for beauty, one for growth.

  6. Close the Ritual: Thank the moon, spirits, and ancestors. Leave the remaining rose water and strawberry tops outside as an offering. Allow the candle to burn safely or snuff it, sealing your intention.


Final Reflections

The Strawberry Moon reminds that sweetness is a sacred gift. In a world that often demands hardness, choosing softness—pleasure, tenderness, rest, love—is an act of spiritual power. This full moon is a chance to ripen into the version of oneself that has been quietly blooming all spring.

May the light of the Strawberry Moon illuminate all that is ready to blossom within.
