July Gregorian Calendar: July’s moon is often called the
blessing, wort, hay, thunder, or buck moon. During this full moon, work on magic relating to divination, dreamwork, and psychic abilities. Celtic Tree Calendar: The Oak moon is celebrated until July 7th and the Holly Moon is celebrated from July 8th until August 4th. The Celtic name for Holly is Tinne, pronounced chihnn-uh. The Oak moon is associated with cleansing, strength, self-confidence, and optimism while the Holly Moon is associated with beauty, protection, luck, and dreams. -Seasons of Wicca
