For this edition of Spellwork Sessions, we are focusing on working with the incredible Egyptian Goddess, Ma’at for restoring justice in our times of need. Ma’at is the goddess of truth, justice and the universal order of life. Ma’at, isn’t just the goddess of these concepts, but is the embodiment of them and therefore is seen to be above the ideas of right and wrong because she IS the truth, and nothing is stronger than truth! We can invoke her in times when clouded judgments may be a factor tempering with our rulings or decisions.
Time / Planetary Hours:
This ritual and spell may be done at any time, under any cycle, being that Ma’at was the goddess of universal order, she controlled the seasons, and all astrological events, thus allowing us to invoke her at any time.
Altar Decor Setup & Suggestions
You can create a simple altar for this, or make it as lavish as you want. Whatever holds importance for your spell is up to you!
An ankh and a scale (both were her sacred correspondent symbols)*
A piece of paper, papyrus paper would be best suited, but not needed.
A bottle of ink.*
Any of her sacred plants and herbs like Rose, Frankincense and Aloe.
* You can find these at any new age, arts & crafts, or many home goods stores. It should be noted that you can make your own ankh, by drawing one out or making one out of clay!!
Simple Steps and Procedures
On the candle, use the tip of the feather to inscribe your candle with Ma’at‘s hieroglyph, the feather, and her name.
Clean off tip of feather so that no wax residue lingers, and dip quill into the bottle of ink.
On the piece of paper, write out the name of person, or situation that you believe justice needs to be brought to.
Say aloud
I call you now, our dearest Ma’at For your justice, can expel our clouded thought Restore order to the situation at hand
With harm done to none, who take to the stand
Now, light the paper with the candle flame and burn.
Save the ashes and take them outside. Let them blow away as you envision Ma’at with her wings stretched out carrying away injustice, and restoring truth.
Thank Ma’at for aiding in your time of need. It is done!

As winter envelops us in its quiet, reflective embrace, two profound symbols emerge in the cultural and cosmic landscape: the astrological sign of Capricorn and the winter solstice. Each holds unique archetypes and lessons, yet they intertwine beautifully to offer guidance and inspiration for navigating the darker, colder months of the year. By exploring their historical, astronomical, and astrological significance—as well as cultural practices worldwide—we can find meaningful ways to enrich our wintertime experience.
As August and the beginning to the end of summer unfolds, the interplay between astrological happenings and ancient traditions creates a powerful tapestry of influence on our lives. This month, we witness the convergence of Mercury retrograde, Leo season, and the Euro pagan holiday Lammas, each carrying its own set of energies and implications that can influence, help, and hinder us.
Happy Full Moon in Capricorn! 🌝♑️It’s a special one as it is our second full moon in Capricorn in a row! So I did a quick tarot pull asking thee questions. In the earthen spirit of Capricorn of course I got pentacles, clarity, and straightforwardness with this reading lol. Took me less than 5 minutes to understand. Read for for the spread!
