What You'll Find In Every Issue:

Each month, your guidebook arrives like a sacred spell book for your business. Here’s what you can expect inside every enchanted edition:

🌙 A Witchy Welcome

Start each issue with a heartfelt note from me to you. This is a warm invitation into the theme of the month, the sacred symbols we’ll be working with, and the kind of magic the moon and stars are calling you to weave in your business right now.

🔮 Monthly Astrology Forecast

Here, I share my thoughts on how the astrology of the month might affect you, your business and your clients or customers. As a highly sensitive person, I share my reflections on how to navigate the month ahead and help you consider how best to work with the energy available to you.

📆 Sacred Business Calendar

A beautiful two-page visual calendar that maps out key moon phases and astrological moments for the month so you can plan your offerings and energy accordingly.

✨ Sacred Symbols

Every month we work with a few carefully chosen magical symbols drawn from nature, mythology, and folk wisdom. These symbols are woven throughout the entire issue and come with their own special pages to help you understand and work with them throughout the month.

🧰 The Creative Witch’s Business Toolkit

A favorite section of the book, this is a hand-illustrated workbook-style section filled with guided prompts to reflect, realign, and set fresh intentions. This section will help you review last month with loving honesty and see what worked, what didn’t, and what surprised you. You'll also explore what you want more of (and less of) in your business, reflect on your best and worst business moments and what they taught you, celebrate your wins and victories to anchor into joy and tune into the energy centers of your business and do a bunch more helpful things before you close with a Spiral Blessing.

☀️ Sun Magic for the Month

The power of the sun is helpful for stepping into leadership, shining your light in the world, building confidence and getting comfortable with being visible so of course as entrepreneurs we need a section to help you work with the sun's magic that month. This section includes any Wheel of the Year celebrations that are relevant that month along with pages to honor them in a way that tends to your business while you celebrate.

🌕🌑 Moon Magic for the Month

Your guide to working with both the full moon and new moon in your business:

• Astrological insights and energy updates for each moon

• Intention-setting prompts for business growth and self-healing

• Cut-and-Paste Magic pages with original art you can cut out and collage with

• Step-by-step moon art rituals to do in the guidebook

🧵 What’s Brewing in the Coven

Get a peek at upcoming events, courses, subscriber-only offers, and magical gatherings designed to support your growth. You’ll also find exclusive deals and early access to special offerings.

🌟 Reader Spotlight

Every issue features a creative witch like you sharing how they’re growing their business with the moon and stars. Because we rise together, and you’re not alone on this path.

📮 Art Card Challenge

Each month I invite you to create an art card. I include a simple step-by-step instructions along with a creative prompt based on the themes we explore together. Mail your card to me and I'll send you one back from another subscriber. This is art magic through the mail. Plus, it gives you a chance to get to know another magical entrepreneur one art card at a time.

As you can see, this is more than a planner. It’s a sacred monthly ritual in print. It's a space to return to yourself, your business, and the magic that moves through it all.

Hi. I'm Dana.

Ever since I was eight years old, I wanted to illustrate and write my own books. I vividly remember the first book I ever made with my pencil crayons. I was beaming with pride. That moment has stuck in my mind for decades and I believe it’s because my spirit came here to do exactly that – illustrate and write my own sacred books.

But my past was heavy.

I lived through difficult childhood experiences that weighed me down. My spirit couldn’t soar because I was so disconnected from who I really was and what I really wanted.

I forgot about the creative dreams I had as a little girl so instead of following the call of my spirit, I wrote other people’s books for them and devoted all my time and energy to other people’s dreams. Then I got sick – really sick with an illness no one understood or could help me with. I didn’t have the time or energy to dream anymore.

That’s when the moon called to me.

I started listening to my instincts. I wanted to paint so I did that. I was tired of being so damn serious so I stopped caring what my art looked like and let myself play. I wanted to align myself with lunar cycles so I learned how to do that.

I kept praying and doing moon rituals in my art journal and setting new goals and intentions. I was doing daily manifestation art without realizing it! And I was having fun. Every new and full moon I spent time digging deeper into my wild creative nature. I used the moon as my mirror. I let it teach me about myself.

I fell deeper into the natural rhythms that support me. My inner witch came alive. I started following the Wheel of the Year and built my spiritual and creative practices around the themes and magic of the seasons. I started to feel vibrant and alive and aligned with the life force surrounding me.

I came back to myself.

The creative dream my inner eight year old held onto for all these years is now my top priority. I AM illustrating and writing my own sacred books.

Now, I'm passionate about helping YOU grow YOUR dream business.

I'm creating magical pages focused on helping YOU grow your business and helping you to commit to taking the necessary steps forward because you deserve to watch your dreams come true. They live deep in your heart for a reason.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What exactly do you mean by “20 minutes a day of art magic with the moon to grow my business”?

A: This is the heart of it all. Every day, you carve out just 20 minutes. This isn't to push or hustle, but to slow down, listen inward, and create something magical in your art journal. I guide you in aligning with the moon that day using prompts and gentle practices that help you clear emotional blocks, feel more inspired, and take action from a place of inner alignment. You’re not just making art. You're weaving intuition, healing, and nervous system care into your business in a way that supports your deeper reasons for having a business in the first place.

Q: Is the guidebook just for the 20-minute daily practice, or is there more to it?

A: There’s so much more. The 20-minute-a-day art magic is the rhythm we follow. It’s the gentle, nourishing practice that supports you daily. But there are also deeper sections in the guidebook every month for when the moon or sun asks more of us. During the new and full moons, the guidebook offers beautiful, step-by-step rituals, complete with pages for reflection, invocation, cut-and-paste art spells, and sacred journaling. There are also sections for Wheel of the Year celebrations and significant solar events when they align with the month because magic doesn’t only live in the moon. It lives in the sun, the seasons, and the Earth too. These longer sections are like ceremonial spaces inside the guidebook that offer you sacred time for deepening, aligning, and casting bigger spells for your business and your spirit.

Q: I’m not “artistic.” Will this still work for me?

A: Yes, 1000 times yes. This is not about making beautiful art. It’s about expression, connection, and magic. Some days you might collage with the cut-and-paste images from the guidebook. Other days, you’ll doodle stick people, scribble with markers, or write a letter to the moon. The moon and the magic don’t care what it looks like, they just want you to show up.

Q: Can I just get the guidebook without joining the coven?

A: Yes. The guidebook and the coven are two separate subscriptions, and you can choose to do one or both. The guidebook is a monthly printed, hand-illustrated workbook that walks you through a 20-minute daily art ritual practice aligned with the moon, plus deeper rituals for the new and full moons. The coven is where we gather together on Zoom every week for co-working, monthly goal-setting, and guided new and full moon rituals, plus you get more support from me there. It deepens the work, but you don’t have to do both.

Q: Is the guidebook available as a PDF or digital file?

A: Not at this time. I wanted this to be a physical experience. I want it to be something beautiful and tangible that arrives in the mail like a gift, something you can hold, flip through, and turn into a personal altar and magical workbook. There may be a digital version someday, but right now, it’s print only.

Q: Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

A: Yes. Just keep in mind that because the guidebook is printed and mailed, you’re always paying for the following month’s issue. So for example, when you subscribe in May, you’re paying for the June guidebook. If you cancel in June, you’ll still receive July’s issue (because it’s already being prepared). You can cancel anytime after that and your subscription will stop with the following cycle. You will never be stuck but you’ll want to pay attention to timing.

Q: What happens after I subscribe?

A: You’ll get a welcome email letting you know what to expect next. The first issue of the guidebook ships out at the end of May and is designed for June’s magical work. If you join the coven, you’ll also receive a follow-up email with the Zoom dates, links, and everything you need to get cozy and connected for our first gathering on Wednesday, June 4th.

Q: Why are we doing all this moon and art magic to grow a business anyway?

A: Because it works. Because it helps. Because when you’ve been through trauma or neglect and you carry deep inner resistance to shining your light or believing in yourself, a to-do list just doesn’t cut it. But magic does. Ritual does. Tending to your inner world every day, even for 20 minutes, can transform how you show up. And when that shifts? Your business does too.

Q: Did you use AI to create the guidebook?

A: Being true to my Gemini makeup, this guidebook is a blend of many things. Every month, I sit in meditation, connect with the moon, consult ancient astrology, and listen for what my spirit allies and angels want to share. I begin the writing by hand, heart, and intuition with just me and Spirit, tuning in to the energy of the month and the medicine we’re meant to carry together. Every idea is shaped by me, rooted in my lived experience, my years of magical practice, and my connection to the moon, my spirit allies, and ancient astrology. Every piece of artwork is also mine and hand-drawn, painted, and infused with my spirit.

And yes, I also use AI as a support tool but for the writing only. Because I live with a chronic illness and carry real physical and energetic limitations, I’ve had to learn how to work differently which includes being more gentle, more wise with my time, and find ways that help me do big things without burning out.

That’s where AI has quietly, kindly helped me. It hasn’t replaced me. It’s supported me. It helps me hold the bigger vision when my body can’t always keep up. And I’m honestly so grateful even though it's a complicated decision to use it when there are many things I don't agree with and many things I'm uncertain about. For now, I'm grateful my body isn't having to do all the heavy lifting it has had to do in the past.

So yes, this guidebook is a blend and a true Gemini offering. The ideas, the stories, the rituals, and the art all come from me. Every illustration is hand-drawn by me. Every spell and symbol is received in sacred space. But parts of the writing process are gently supported by AI and in that way, this guidebook is a beautiful weaving of ancient magic and modern technology. A spell, made possible by both the stars and the tools of our time.
