The Green Witch’s Guide to Perimenopause: Sacred Self-Care for Every Season

Welcome, sister. If you're feeling like your body is shifting, your emotions are deepening, and your soul is asking for something more—you're not alone. Perimenopause is not a curse. It's an initiation. And as a Green Witch who has walked this sacred path, I want to show you how to turn this time of change into a rite of empowerment.

Moon Cycle Alignment

You may not bleed like clockwork anymore, but your energy still waxes and wanes. Sync your self-care with La Lune:

New Moon: Rest. Journal. Go inward. What do you need to release?

Waxing Moon: Build energy. Start new intentions. Infuse your teas with energizing herbs like nettle and ginseng.

Full Moon: Dance. Celebrate. Charge your water with moonlight and drink it with gratitude.

Waning Moon: Detox. Clear clutter (emotional and physical). Use mugwort to support gentle emotional cleansing.

Wheel of the Year & Hormonal Healing

Each sabbat offers a unique energetic medicine for your perimenopausal journey:

Imbolc (February): Light your inner flame. Cleanse your altar, and sip warming spices like cinnamon and ginger.

Ostara (March): Renew. Try liver-loving herbs like dandelion root to support estrogen balance.

Beltane (May): Reclaim your sensuality. Dance barefoot. Use rose and damiana to honor your feminine fire.

Litha (June): Soak in sunlight. Charge your solar plexus. Work with calendula and lemon balm.

Lammas (August): Harvest your inner strength. Journal victories. Eat grounding foods like root veg.

Mabon (September): Balance. Reflect. Add adaptogens like ashwagandha to your rituals.

Samhain (October): Deep ancestral connection. Offer your struggles to your ancestors. Call on their guidance.

Yule (December): Rest. Hibernate. Nourish with bone broths and deep herbal infusions.

Earth-Based Support for Emotional Waves

Anxiety: Lavender oil on your wrists. Tulsi (Holy Basil) tea. Breathe into your belly.

Rage: Stomp your feet. Yell into the forest. Journal with red ink. Use motherwort to soften and hold your heart.

Exhaustion: Sleep more. Say no often. Use oatstraw and reishi mushroom to rebuild your reserves.

Final Words from My Heart to Yours

This isn’t the end of your magic. It’s the deepening of it.

You are not broken. You are blooming.

With roots in the Earth, love from your ancestors, and rituals in your hands—you will rise.

Blessed be,
