Into The Wild/Moonshine 2023

Hi, I'm Effy Wild...

...and while I serve many roles in the world – writer, artist, teacher  – my favourite role to serve is that of Art Witch, and the place to find me serving that role is right here in Moonshine.

Moonshine is more than ‘just an e-course!  It is a year long journey into the realm of moon-based art witchery in all its glorious forms. It’s also a coven of art witches, some of whom have been in the program since its inception in this format six years ago, who cycle together moon by moon. 

Moonshine is a village. It’s a virtual clearing in the woods where we stoke up the fire and share the tea. it’s a festival wrapped in an academy. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before!

Here’s What’s Included

  • Membership in this year’s Moonshine Coven group on Facebook.

  • Lifetime membership in Moonshine Cafe on Facebook.

  • Lifetime access to the course materials.

  • A monthly PDF of written musings, including an art witch primer with suggested activities and resources that, when collected over the course of the year, forms a complete training system in art witchery. These PDFs when combined are hundreds and hundreds of pages long, and there is new content within them every year in the form of art witch tips, new essential oil blends, astro-tarot forecasts, oracle reading layouts, herbal lore and crystal lore. Note that our aromatherapist and herbalist are certified and do not represent MLMs.

  • A full-length monthly painting tutorial (downloadable video + PDF walkthrough).

  • Documentation for each full and new moon, both of which include the aforementioned astro-tarot forecasts and oracle reading layouts.

  • A new painting demonstration for the new moon (filmed live on Zoom so we can paint together + offered as a downloadable replay for those who can’t attend live).

  • A new painting demonstration for the full moon (offered as a downloadable pre-recorded speed painting) with notes on how I’m engaging the current energies. 

  • A live activation gathering on Zoom in the first week of the month (also offered as a downloadable replay). In these gatherings, we read the content together, do Q&A, check-ins and draw a tarot card to establish our ‘coven work’ (optional) for the month.

  • A coupon code for $90 off for next year’s Moonshine 2023.

This experience is meant to give you deep training in art witchery AND mixed media art as a spiritual tool with an emphasis on establishing your own art witch practice based on thorough, scaffolded guidance that will get you sound, self-possessed, and in pursuit of your most deeply held desired outcomes.

More About Moonshine

In its sixth year in this format, Moonshine is now an established eclectic spiritual & creative tradition that invites you to discover just how magical creative practice can truly be. While my emphasis throughout the course is the use of mixed media art as my primary form of magical practice, we have art witches who work with other modes of creative practice and expression that are easily adapted to the work we do. Creatives of all kinds are welcome to cycle with us from moon to moon as we discover and go after the desires of our deepest hearts.

You do NOT have to identify as an artist OR a witch to participate in this class, but by the end of our year together, I’d be willing to bet you will identify as BOTH.

Moonshine 2023  begins as soon as you register with instant access to introductory content and a journal binding workshop, which you should look over before we begin. 

We will start the new year with our first Monthly Painting tutorial, all the documentation for January, and a live activation gathering on Zoom. 

You will find content flowing in your direction thereafter including a *lot* of writing to get you thinking and exploring each cycle deeply.

Each and every month, you will get the monthly manual that includes the month’s written training + extras (oil blends! recipes! herbs! stones!), three video lessons per cycle – one for the 1st of the month (pre-recorded), one for Full Moon (time-lapsed + musings) and one for New Moon (enjoyed live on Zoom and then offered as a replay). 


Along with the ‘usual’ content, you will find bonuses popping up regularly (because there are always bonuses), challenges to undertake (we call them “Praxis”), and membership in our art witch coven, which is open 24/7, and always available to you should you have questions, need some energy directed your way (we call these COVEN UPS), or just want to hang out with people of like mind.

Hold on now, Effy! What’s Art Witchery?

Art Witchery is the use of visual arts as a way to change our consciousness in accordance with our will. Art Witches work with colour, shape, symbol, and practice to raise energy, which we direct towards the things we wish to attain for ourselves and the world. Our desires may be as simple as changing our habits or as complicated as working for justice. Whatever you bring to the table can be ‘art witched’ through creative practice, and I will teach you how.

Moonshine is ‘non-denominational’, which means that there is no one tradition of witchery taught or upheld in this class. You can also come to the class with your own spiritual practices and beliefs and adapt the content to suit you. While we do not use the words ‘witchery’ and ‘witch’ lightly in this class, we undertake these practices with mirth and open-mindedness, understanding that magic *works* even if we don’t necessarily understand how.

This class is experiential. You are your own authority, and there is no right or wrong way to ‘do’ Moonshine. This means you don’t have to come in with ‘belief’ or ‘faith’ in the process. You will grow in understanding how this works as you work it, and as you learn, research, and practice, you will be creating your own special brand of art witchery – in short, your own ‘tradition’, specifically designed by and for *you*.


A Little More About What We Do

In Moonshine, we operate from a place of knowing that when we heal ourselves, we heal the world. When we serve our highest good, we serve The Highest Good. When we go after our desires in alignment with our will, we are increasing joy, fulfillment, power, and manifestation for the entire collective. 
We work in the realm of the microcosm with an understanding that it will impact the macrocosm. Note, though, that this is not a “Law of Attraction” style program. We do not engage in victim-blaming, spiritual bypassing, or ‘love and lighting’. We embrace and work with shadow and grit. We engage deeply and reverently with the powers that be in order to attain a sense of alignment (what we call ‘soundness’) and to remove the obstacles within us that prevent the attainment of our desires. While the work we do is done privately, in our own studios (or living rooms or dining rooms), we gather virtually in order to amplify each individual’s energies so that the intentions we set and the work we do is exponentially more effective.

If you’re not into the ‘woo woo’ or ‘working’ part of this program, that’s fine, too. You can just join in and paint with us, but fair warning: the magicks are contagious. You might find yourself art witching things up in no time!

People in this program have had a lot of fun and created a lot of beautiful things in the name of art witchery, but they have also left jobs that were no longer a good fit for them, escaped abusive relationships, dealt with addictive behaviours, dropped habits that no longer served them, met the loves of their lives, discovered their true vocation, unearthed talents that had lain dormant for years, identified core beliefs that stood in the way of their living their best lives, and made connections that serve as ‘soul pod’ or chosen family.

In other words, witches in Moonshine have discovered that Moonshine works if you work it.

Testimonials

I’m not at all witchy but I was completely bewitched by Effy and totally warmed by the safe haven of Moonshine this year. An amazing art and journalling program that’s wonderfully outside of the norm. This spiritual agnostic learned a great deal (am still learning!) and was shown some amazing art techniques but most importantly, I found a happy and safe place. This year has been a difficult struggle and though I haven’t always finished the art, just seeing the wonderful journal pages, the sharing and friendly camaraderie of the group has been like a healing balm. I’m in next year for sure! – Sal Scheibe

This course has been a real awakening. I didn’t quite know which path I wanted to travel on and I can get quite muddled and indecisive about what I am doing and why. Moonshine has given me focus. I have seen things in a different way and found out things about myself and which direction I want to move in that I really didn’t realize. It is a wonderfully supportive class with a caring and nurturing community as well as an awesome teacher who is with you at every step. This truly is magical. – Lesley Larcombe

When I signed up for Moonshine, I thought it would be a great way into my art journal on each new and full moon. A way to just be more aware of the cycles and make pretty art around cyclical themes. However, it was SO MUCH more! Moonshine is a container for some serious art witchery – cycling with the moon and the themes of each month, making meaningful art, and doing some serious and sometimes even playful soul work. And then there is the coven of witches – a safe and gentle landing place where we can be held, understood and witnessed just as we are, warts and all. I am so glad I took the plunge this year, and I look forward to cycling with the moon again next year! – Shinjini Mehrotra

Moonshine is pure magic on so many levels: journal making, art-making, art journalling, moon cycling, information gathering, and self-discovery. Skim the surface or delve as deep as you like. Effy’s knowledge is vast and her support and guidance and the support of other participants is unwavering and all-encompassing. The love and power of the Facebook group is palpable and buoyant. Terrific value–I have a book just from Effy’s pdfs alone which are full of pointers and prompts. I can’t recommend this course enough. – Sue Blott

Moonshine is one of those classes that is more than just videos and PDFs and supply lists – it’s an experience. It’s magic and community and being present in your life. It’s making intentions and throwing paint and feeling gratitude. It’s research and association. It’s love. It’s absolutely love. 
That’s not to say that there is no room to just take the lessons and make the art – it can absolutely be a filling of the journal with pretty spreads. To do that, though, is to lose SO MUCH of the magic of the class, which is a deep dive into your magical roots, your ancestors, your own associations with the zodiac, the elements, and the way you walk through the world. It’s a chance to take your inner wild child by the hand and lead her into the moonlight.
You will absolutely not regret signing up.  – Sarah Trumpp

Moonshine found me-it was an impulse purchase- and through the lessons and the people I’ve met in Moonshine, I have really started to find myself. To feel like I am meeting myself on the page, in my art, in the process of making art. I have found how powerful journaling is for me, how big an impact it makes and I have learned so much about ways I can combine this with art. I have seen how cycling with the moon connects with me and helps me be connected. There is so much in moonshine, some months I’ve touched the surface, some months I have dived deep, every month the group of people that make it have been a safe, accepting place to explore and ponder and question and art. This year could have been a really hard one-it’s had death, pain, sorrow and could have overwhelmed me but moonshine, journaling and art have been the roots that are helping me grow into the person I’ve always wanted to be. – Rachel Kentish

I’ve participated in Moonshine every year since 2018. Each year brings a unique experience and more amazing depth and abundance in this offering. Effy is a generous host who gives her all in creating magical spaces with fertile content. I’ve not encountered another online course that comes close to the deep experience of Moonshine. Effy provides her passionate support throughout the year, both as host but also as part of our collective experience of learning and practices, raw truth and soul lessons. The live calls now offered are an amazing experience of hearing Effy give voice and extra insights to the materials, and having a more authentic personal connection across lands and seas. I live in Australia and find myself setting alarms for 2am to join a live, even though I know it will be recorded, because of the unique energy in experiencing this live. It feels quite magical to be able to transcend time and place to gather under the same moon and connect over common experiences and learn from differing individual perspectives and practices. – Lynda Horn
