Moon Tea #1: Introduction - Welcome to Moon Tea!
We know what you’re thinking. SPIRAL is so cool and they post such useful and meaningful content. But what about their astrology content? Why is there no magic column? Their posts about all that are so good. Say no more, your prayers have been heard.
Welcome to Moon Tea - a column about anything and everything on esoterica for everyone to enjoy, including astrology, numerology, and witchcraft. It doesn’t matter if you’re a wizard, a master astrologist, an intuitive reader or simply looking for a bit of star-comfort, if you want to read or write something magical you’re in the right place.
Life is weird, and there’s not always a lot of guidance out there that feels right. Things can get tricky, and many of our questions still remain unanswered. There’s so much out there, so many ways to tackle things that sometimes it can feel like you don’t know what to choose from. Magic, religion, energy work and spirituality can be a tool of empowerment and self-discovery. Our approach to these subjects is neither strict nor dogmatic, but rather gentle, soft, and flexible. We want to introduce certain notions to our audience to see what they respond to individually, what tools can bring them closer to themselves. We want to counter all mockery of such topics and do the opposite of giving ourselves away to some god, some spirit, some force. Instead, we want to use it to find the power within, and cease to justify and rationalise our ways, habits, and taste. Magic as a way of self-discovery and self-acceptance, rather than imposition of it onto other people.
Moon Tea is based on collective writings of different authors who show different takes on the esoteric stuff. Whether it’s a piece explaining lunar cycles, a personal account of a mystical experience, or a review of satanic writings - we want it. We want to create a space free of judgement and stigma, one where different people can share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences for others to expand their horizons. If you’re a neighbourhood witch making potions and casting spells, or an eccentric philosopher with some obscure knowledge of demonology, write to us. We wanna get weird with you, we wanna hear you out, we wanna unite in our holistic approach to what’s in between the physical and the heavenly. Or however you wanna call it.
Stay blessed ︎,
SPIRAL
