The Beaver Moon gets its name from the Algonquin tribe of North America who set their last beaver traps at this time before the waters and swamps froze. ❄️ This is a simple ritual for the Beaver Moon that you can do as a Solitary Witch to honor this Esbat (Full Moon celebration).
Beaver Moon Meaning
November is the month of the beaver. Beavers are known for their hard work and by November, they have gathered enough food for the winter and built incredible lodges in which to live during the cold months. 🌲
November’s Full Beaver Moon is then associated with hard-work, family, home, teamwork, and achievements. This is an excellent time for taking casting a spell of self-discipline and success.
You can perform this ritual any of the three nights when the Beaver Moon is full in November 🌕, whether you’re a Beginner Witch or a seasoned Wiccan.

How to dress a candle? 🕯️
- Hold the candle with one hand and wet your other hand’s index and middle fingers with the oil.
- Rub the oil all over the candle without touching the wick. You can start from the bottom and work your way up or start from the top and go down.
Note: There are as many opinions on this matter as there are Witches on earth. A common practice is to rub your fingers from the top down to attract something, or to rub them from the bottom up to banish or repel something. - As you are rubbing the oil, visualize your wish and how it’s going to manifest. Spend a minute or two focusing on this.
