Last updated on: September 2, 2019 at 3:50 pm By Irisanya Moon

I don’t know about you, but my brain gets... Read more

A Season for Healing: The Shadow and Shine of the Moon

Last updated on: July 22, 2019 at 9:38 am By Irisanya Moon

“Can we allow this eclipse to open us up to transforming our feelings into healings?” — Many Moons, 2018 Vol. 2: July – December, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener Eclipse season. A time of wonder, a history of confusion and a modern day must-see event. But eclipses are a time of shifts, often big ones. Or opportunities for change, for movement — desired and perhaps less so.

Conjuring Inspiration and Creativity, or the Spell of Becoming

Last updated on: July 19, 2019 at 4:55 pm By Irisanya Moon

I write for my living. Boring stuff, mostly, but things that make money and allow me to be a traveling priestess and teacher.

How Do I Know When Magick is Working: Discomfort as an Ally

Last updated on: June 30, 2019 at 5:41 pm By Irisanya Moon

Magick is in every moment. Every breath is a spell, an intention, a possibility revealing itself to the world. Some are whispers. Some are screams. Some are desperate. Some are wistful. Some are forgotten. Until they arrive. You Can’t Always Get What You Want…** I’m sure you’ve done a spell that took a lot of work, a lot of thought (maybe in the other order), and nothing happened. Or things went sideways in your life. For example, the moment I... Read more
