Grab Your WitchCon Tickets

WitchCon was conceived out of the global shut down in 2021 where some 90 odd witches, magicians, conjurers and other magical folk from all around the world gathered together online to offer classes to an audience of nearly 1,000 ticket holders. I was very privileged to be part of the 2021 event where my presentation was on Exploring the Shadowy Realms of the Dark Goddess as well as showcasing LunaNoire Creations in the n the Virtual Vendorium. 

Now in its third year, being held from Friday, 3 to Sunday, 5 March 2023 (4 to 6 March here in Australia), I am delighted to announce that I will be returning once again with a presentation entitled Meeting Ereshkigal: Queen of the Great Below which will be aired on Monday, 6 March 2023 at 11:15am (ACST) in the Saturn Library.

Often considered to be the antagonist of Inanna who, in the "Descent of the Goddess", descended into the Underworld, Ereshkigal strips the Sumerian Queen of Heaven of her divine powers and titles, before allowing her to resurface again.

Win Yourself a Copy of my Latest Book


My latest book, On Her Silver Rays: A Guide to the Moon, Myth and Magic, is due for release at the end of June this year. However, I am waiting on a delivery some early pre-release copies straight from the printers, which is very exciting.

While there seem to be an endless supply of books about working with the moon, what (hopefully) sets my book apart is that it is not simply looking at "manifesting with the new moon" and "banishing with the waning moon". For it navigates you through astronomy, astrology, mythology, divination, healing and ritual, as well as a good dose of magic and inner reflection thrown in for good measure.

This video is an excerpt from the first couple of sections from On Her Silver Rays. And if you leave a comment as to how the moon makes you feel in the YouTube comments before 9 February 2023, you might actually win yourself a copy.

February Happening

Here we are in the second month of this year already.

February will see the annual Yemaya Blessing of the Waters taking place on Monday, 6 February 2023.  

As I mentioned last month, regular attendees of this event will notice that it will be taking place a month later than normally.  This is because of personal commitments making me unavailable until February.  As per usual, this event is "gold coin donation" and is open to the public.  

More information about this event and what you are suggested to bring can be found here.

There are only TWO places now available for the first workshop that I will be offering this year, that being the  House Cleansing and Protection workshop which will be taking place on Saturday, 11 February 2023. During this full day workshop we will be looking at how to cleanse your home from negative energies using sprays as well as commonly found (and grown) herbs, protecting your home by erecting protective energetic boundaries as well as powerful rituals such as the Rosy Cross.  

Moon Con 2023 - Now Two Events

 

Who doesn't love free stuff?

MoonCon is back in 2023 and it still remains to be a FREE online event.  The only change is that it will be held twice a year - the first date being 11 March 2023 and the second taking place on 9 September 2023.  Both events will feature a wide range of Moon Books authors.

How you can get involved in this free event is simple - follow and subscribe to MoonCon 2023 which will be run live on both the Moon Books Publishing Facebook page and the corresponding YouTube channel.
As these times and dates are based on British Standard Time ensure that you work out the corresponding times and dates as to when these talks are happening in your neck of the woods by using programmes such as World Time Buddy.

So pencil the dates of 11 March and 9 September 2023 in your diary to ensure that you do not miss out of this FREE online event.
My latest offering from Moon Books is On Her Silver Rays: A Guide to the Moon, Myth and Magic, which is a collection of science, myth, poetry, and ritual that will guide you through working with the different phases of the moon in order to gain a better sense of wellbeing. 
Discover how best to harness the lunar energies for healing and emotional strength, as well as physical and mental wellness. 
Deepen your connection with Lady Lunar through making your own ‘moon water’, prayer beads, incense and anointing oils.
Through the keeping of a lunar diary, learn how to effectively manifest and release with the endless changing energies of the moon. 
Even learn how to create your own unique moon names regardless of where you live. 
While the anticipated release date for On Her Silver Rays is not until 30 June 2023, you can, however, pre-order your copy through various outlets which are listed on Moon Book's web page.  Further, if you subscribe to my newsletter, Realm of a Modern Day Mystic, you will get updates as to how you can obtain autographed copies direct from me.
