New Moon Covenant: Growth and Manifestation Update

As we gather momentum, the New Moon Covenant stands at a thrilling juncture in its journey of growth and manifestation. Our community of magickal practitioners continues to forge a path that intertwines tradition and innovation, with recent milestones marking significant progress.

Successful First Open Ritual

One of our most exciting accomplishments has been the successful hosting of our first open ritual. This gathering not only strengthened the bonds within our community but also welcomed new members who are eager to explore the depths of their craft. The ritual was a testament to our commitment to inclusivity and shared experiences, demonstrating the strength that arises when practitioners come together. Feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, emphasizing the sense of connection and knowledge exchanged during the event.

A special Thank you to everyone who made this ritual possible. 

Mike, Megan, Trevor, Emily, Josh, and Wyatt- Thank you so much for giving your time and energy!

Developing Sustainable Revenue Streams

Understanding the importance of sustainability, we are actively exploring diverse revenue streams that will allow us to extend our reach and influence within the magickal community. While donations have supported our growth thus far, we recognize the need for a more robust financial foundation. Initiatives under consideration include educational workshops, curated content subscriptions, and partnerships with ethical businesses aligned with our mission. These endeavors aim to ensure that we can continue providing valuable resources and experiences to our members, fostering a thriving community without relying solely on external contributions.

Cultivating Free Website Resources

Our commitment to fostering knowledge and accessibility is evident in our ongoing efforts to cultivate free resources on our website. These resources are designed to support practitioners at all levels, from beginners to advanced users. By sharing the accumulated wisdom of generations, we aim to provide valuable data that can assist in individual exploration and scientific approach to the craft. From guides on ritual practices to in-depth articles on magickal theories, these offerings will serve as a cornerstone for our community, empowering members to engage more deeply with their practices.

Looking Ahead

As we stand on the threshold of these exciting developments, the New Moon Covenant remains dedicated to our mission of legitimizing the craft through the lens of science and shared experience. Our ongoing growth and manifestation efforts will pave the way for a future where practitioners can thrive in their journeys, guided by the rich tapestry of knowledge we've collectively woven.

In the spirit of collective progress, we invite our members and future practitioners to engage with our resources, join our rituals, and contribute to the ever-growing body of data that defines our magickal practices. Together, we are not just a community; we are a movement, pushing the boundaries of understanding and fulfillment in the craft.


On The Broom- Where we’re going 

The Future of the New Moon Covenant: Empowering the Craft Community

As we embrace the transformative energies of the New Moon, the New Moon Covenant is poised to expand and innovate further, fostering a vibrant community of magickal practitioners. As we look ahead, several exciting initiatives are underway that aim to enhance our collective experience and promote the legitimacy of the craft as a science, art, and lifestyle.

Yule Festival: A Celebration of Community and Craft

The upcoming Yule Festival promises to be a cornerstone of our community engagement. This celebratory event will not only mark the winter solstice but will also serve as an opportunity to gather and celebrate our shared passions. Festival activities will include a Yuletide ritual, community discussions on various magickal topics, and opportunities to showcase local artisans and their craft. We aim to create a space where practitioners can share their knowledge, experience the richness of our traditions, and forge new connections within the Grand Valley community.

Craft-Centric and Craft-Friendly Database: Connecting Goods and Services

To support the practical needs of our community members, we are developing a comprehensive, free database focused on craft-centric and craft-friendly goods and services available in the Grand Valley. This innovative resource will include listings for local shops, service providers, and specialists in various modalities of the craft, as well as craft-friendly vendors who may not work in a craft specific field but have chosen a path of their own in the craft. By connecting practitioners with essential tools and offerings, we can help ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need to enhance their practice.

Free Online Meditation Workshops

Recognizing the importance of mindfulness and inner peace in our craft practices, we will also be launching free online meditation workshops via Zoom. These sessions will be open to all community members and will focus on different techniques to cultivate presence, balance, and clarity, supporting practitioners in their personal journeys. As we navigate our magickal paths, these workshops will serve as both a resource for growth and a gathering space for shared intentionality.

Diverse Resources: Free and Paid Offerings

To facilitate ongoing education and exploration, the New Moon Covenant will provide a range of free and paid resources. Our offerings will include informational PDF guides, insightful books, and engaging courses designed to deepen knowledge across various aspects of the craft. Additionally, we will host workshops that cater to different experience levels, ensuring that both novices and seasoned practitioners can find valuable resources tailored to their needs.

As we embark on this journey, the New Moon Covenant remains committed to elevating the craft through shared knowledge and a sense of community. By combining science, tradition, and innovation, we aspire to create an inclusive environment where all practitioners can thrive and find fulfillment in their practices. As we chart this course together, we invite you to join us in these exciting initiatives and contribute to the blossoming fabric of our craft community. Together, we are creating a legacy grounded in collaboration, exploration, and empowerment.

This may include guides, instructional videos, and research papers. Your insights and talents can help us compile and create these free resources. And if you also have a website that showcases your talents in the craft, we would love to promote you in exchange for your contributions.
