Moonkin
New Moon Rituals For QTIBIPOC
“Your body is both tome & temple. Pleasure is the Prayer.”
What Is Magic?
Magic is simply using the unseen to shape the seen.
In Ritual, you use your will to manifest our desires. There are many ways to raise magical energy & focus your will: Sex Magic is just one of them. While a lot of Sex Magic is done in dyads or groups, Solo Sex Magic is just as powerful of a tool. Solo Sex Magic done in a group creates an even more powerful pool of energy for the individual spellcaster to pull from.
That was my original intention behind these rituals: to bring qtipoc folx together to create a powerful energy pool we could all contribute to and pull from for our individual spellcasting. The New Moon is a perfect time for casting spells of Attraction or Abundance.
However it seemed that the majority of the attendees of the first ritual were more interested in using this energy to propel them on their own journeys to heal their relationship with their body, genitals, and/or sexuality. Because so much of our wounding around our body & our pleasures is created by society, specifically by the depictions of our bodies as “othered” in White Supremacy & Colonization, coming together with other qtipoc, where we are the norm and not The Other, creates a primal sacred space where we re/connect with our inherent Divinity, with the all the ways in which our body as it is is Right.
Moonkin is an ongoing closed group, limited to 15 members. Closing the group allows us to go strengthen the energetic container, so that we may delve deeper into our practice, learning different techniques for raising magickal energy; deepening our experience of our bodies as sacred vessels. (The group will open up quarterly for new members if we’re not at 15.)
Moonkin is for QTIBIPOC (Queer/Trans/Intersex Black/Indigenous/Other People of Color) only. White accomplices seeking similar rituals should check out Moon Molt instead.

The Ache Di* for the group is $155.55 (but also PWYC, & NOTAFLOF).
You do not have to have any experience with rituals or sex magic. You do have to believe that magic exists, and that you have the power to shape the world to your liking.
*The easiest translation for Ache Di would be “registration fee”. It’s also a completely inaccurate one.

Since this will be a small group ritual (limited to 15), and we’ll be in an intimate circle (all online, but still intimate), I’d like to have a “vibe check” with you to make sure this group is a good fit.
My Experience
I did my very first solo sex magic ritual in 1997 or 1998 & it was wildly successful.
My background in magick goes back to my early teen years of calling myself a witch and being one of the only 2 girls in my playgroup who could get the Ouija Board pointer to move. I got into Dianic Witchcraft when I came out as a dyke in 1988, but that soon felt too White for me. It was around that time that I got my hands on a copy of Jambalaya by Luisah Teish & it spoke to me on a very foundational level. For many years after I would do a modified version of the house-cleaning ritual outlined in the book (I still do).
A couple of decades later I found myself through a series of “coincidences” in the Ifa Temple headed by Luisah Teish, and named as a child of Yemaya. I’m also really clear that my work mostly fall’s into Oshun’s realm & I call on her at the beginning of my sessions & classes.
In 2016 I led New Moon Money Pouring rituals in my house for several months. In 2018, I led new moon & full moon rituals on Alameda Beach in CA. Currently I have a group of friends that I do New Moon Money Pouring with online.
My goal is to have a life where I spend the New Moon & Full Moon in ritual space. I also seek to create a community of qtipoc who want to dive deep into the magical power of pleasure to design the lives we desire & deserve.
