When the Moon and Seasons Came Together

There was one ritual that truly changed the way I approach abundance magic. It was a warm November evening here in South Africa, right in the heart of spring. The jacarandas were in bloom, painting the streets purple, and the air was thick with the promise of summer. That night, the moon was waxing, and I felt called to do something special.

I gathered what I had — a candle, a sprig of fresh rosemary from the garden, and a small jar of coins I had been collecting. Nothing fancy. I sat outside under the night sky and thought about what abundance meant for me at that moment. It wasn’t only about money, though I certainly wanted more stability. It was also about opportunity, freedom, and feeling secure enough to grow.

As the candle flame flickered, I held the rosemary and breathed in its sharp, cleansing scent. I imagined it sweeping away the doubts and fears that had been holding me back. Then, I took the jar of coins and shook it gently, listening to the sound. I whispered my intentions over them, asking the growing moon to amplify them, to let the seeds I was planting this spring take root and flourish.

It felt simple, maybe even too simple. But in the days that followed, I noticed small shifts. An unexpected refund appeared in my account. A project I had nearly given up on suddenly opened a new door. Even conversations seemed to flow differently, with people offering help and ideas at just the right time. It wasn’t a lottery win, but it was real, tangible, and enough to remind me that magic works in partnership with the world.

That night taught me something I now carry into every practice: timing matters. The waxing moon carried the energy of growth, while spring added its power of renewal and fresh beginnings. Together, they created the perfect current to carry my intentions forward.

This is the kind of weaving I explore more deeply in my wealth book — not just moon rituals on their own, not just seasonal practices, but the alchemy that happens when you bring them together. Magic, when rooted in the cycles of the world around us, becomes more than just wishful thinking. It becomes a way of living.

Next time, I’ll write about how to keep that abundance energy flowing during the darker months, when winter seems to quiet everything down. Because abundance doesn’t end when the leaves fall — it simply changes shape.

What Came Before Modern Witchcraft?

When Shadows Were Power : Remembering Witchcraft Before the Modern Age Witchcraft, as it is commonly understood today, is often viewed through the lens of modern traditions, named systems, and structured practices. While these forms are valuable and necessary, they represent only one moment in a much longer history. Long before witchcraft was formalized, published, or openly reclaimed, it existed as a practical and lived relationship with unseen forces, woven directly into daily life rather than separated from it. When Shadows Were Power: Witchcraft’s Forgotten Dawn by Dyrk D’Raven is a work dedicated to exploring that earlier landscape, not to dismiss what came later, but to understand the roots from which modern practice emerged. This blog post accompanies a video exploration of the book and offers further context for readers who wish to go deeper. Witchcraft as Lived Practice In its earliest forms, witchcraft was not defined by belief statements or formal religious identity. I...

Understanding Cerridwen: The Cauldron of Inspiration and Transformation

  Understanding Ceridwen: The Cauldron of Inspiration and Transformation (to view more amazing artwork, click here)      Why Ceridwen Matters for Witches Ceridwen has always been one of the most intriguing figures in the world of witchcraft. She is a keeper of deep wisdom, a guide of transformation, and a guardian of the sacred spark known in Celtic tradition as Awen. Her presence reaches both hemispheres, though her voice carries a different rhythm depending on the turning of the local seasons. In the Southern Hemisphere , her work settles into the land in a more inverted cadence, allowing witches to explore her mysteries at a pace aligned with our own seasonal flow. My journey with Ceridwen began on a warm Beltane evening when the air was heavy with possibility. I felt creatively blocked and spiritually restless, as though something inside me had gone quiet. While journaling beside a candle , an image of a cauldron kept rising in my mind, simmering and alive. I...

Understanding Tiamat: The Mother of Chaos and Creation

  Understanding Tiamat: The Mother of Chaos and Creation (to view more amazing artwork, click here)          Why Tiamat Still Resonates There are forces in myth that shake the foundations of our understanding and challenge us to see beyond the ordinary. Tiamat is one of those forces. She is the primal chaos, the vast ocean of creation, and the Mother of Dragons. Her story, emerging from Babylonian mythology, reminds witches that creation often begins in disorder and that transformation comes when we face the raw and untamed aspects of life. I first encountered Tiamat during a time when my world felt fragmented. My routines, my plans, and my expectations all seemed to unravel at once. Turning to her story, I imagined the great sea of chaos from which all things were born. In that vision, I realized that my life was mirroring her vast, limitless energy. She embodies the power of beginnings that emerge from endings and the strength found in the unknown. Ti...
