Moonshine is a year long journey into the realm of moon-based art witchery in all its glorious forms that's part virtual coven, part group coaching, part empowerment community, and part mixed media art adventure.

It’s also a gathering of art witches, some of whom have been in the program since its inception in this format seven 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. (Please download as you go to avoid tech issues in the future).

• 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 both evergreen and new content within them every year in the form of art witch tips, mandala and botanical colouring pages, 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. No one here will ever tell you to ingest essential oils or try to heal medical conditions with magic.

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

• 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 FULL MOON (filmed live on Zoom so we can circle up and paint together. This is also offered as a downloadable replay for those who can’t attend live.

• A live activation gathering on Zoom on the first Saturday of the month (also offered as a downloadable replay so if you can't make it live, it's never a problem). 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. Sometimes I offer additional exercises, meditations, or other things to try.

• Access to me, Effy, via e-mail, the Facebook Group, and in the classroom. You will find me a VERY engaged instructor.

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.

In its eighth 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 2025  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 with an INITIATION GATHERING on December 28th, 2024 (or you can watch the replay) on ZOOM. This gathering will be our opportunity to meet face to face and go over everything you need to know to get the most out of this experience.

Then, on January 1st, 2025, you'll find our first Monthly Painting tutorial, and our first Moonshine Book Of Shadows in the classroom. On Januuary 4th, 2025, we'll meet for our first LIVE ACTIVATION GATHERING on Zoom. All gatherings are recorded either in total or in part. If we touch on very sensitive things are have sharing time around sensitive subjects, those parts of the gathering will not be recorded.

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

Along with the usual’ content that comes out moon by moon, 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.

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.
