Interview with Irisanya Moon

Books featured on our podcast: Iris: https://amzn.to/4jalnLT The Norns: https://amzn.to/3CeGzQ3 Gaia: https://amzn.to/40qzNjz Artemis: https://amzn.to/3E1xBWU Author Amazon Link: https://amzn.to/42a6HWQ About our Guest: I’m an author, Witch, priestess, international teacher, poet, and initiate in the Reclaiming tradition. I have served the godds, my community, and the Earth for 20+ years. I am a devotee of Aphrodite, Hecate, the Norns, and Iris. My pronouns are she/they. I am passionate about the idea that life is, and I am a love spell, a dance of desire and connection, moving in and out of the heart, always returning to love. My teaching/facilitation style is immersive, gracious, and welcoming. I believe in creating safe spaces to hold whatever work you need to do at the moment. While I offer didactic classes in ritual skills, priestessing, and Reclaiming Witchcraft, I lean heavily into experiential work. I am a neurodivergent Witch who offers magickal containers that support various ways of experiencing the world, our bodies, and the mystical. I hope to be in service to those who feel disconnected from their power and their self-trust. I cultivate spaces of radical acceptance to foster trust and liberation. You are not alone.
