Irisanya Moon

I am begging media outlets to STOP PLATFORMING these people

🥰

You know that secret project I’ve mentioned? Here is a sneak peek.

I signed a contract with Llewellyn. I’m co-writing a book and I can’t wait to share it with you.

I thank you for all of your support as I know I wouldn’t be writing if it weren’t for people reading.

And wanting to read more.

MONDAY HEART MAGICK

“…throw roses into the abyss and say: ‘here is my thanks to the monster who didn’t succeed in swallowing me alive.’”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

Today, I talk about monsters, and how I still give them roses.

‘I’m Actually Surprised It Didn’t Happen Sooner’ CDC staffers saw the violence coming.

“I didn’t expect to face the same risks in Atlanta as in South Sudan.”

*We repeat: Friday’s CDC shooting wasn’t random. It’s the product of years of attacks on public health by Trump and our own boss, RFK Jr.*

Thanks to @landmanspeaking.bsky.social for outstanding reporting

another book:
building relationships with the divine
(I call it: big deity energy)

I watch myself write sometimes,
as though above,
i see how i have grown,
matured,
integrated experiences, mistakes & magick,
all that seemed so disparate
now finds itself hand in hand
before an altar of becoming

Full Moon in Aquarius
August 9, 2025 ~12:55am Pac

look, look
this shifting sand,
this unseen breeze,
this daylight born,
this cycle,
this life

you couldn’t have gotten here
without starting somewhere,
without looking up,
without a quiet confession:
the one where you admitted
you needed more

APHRODITE’S DAY

I run/walk with beauty all around me,
within me.

Hail Love and Beauty and Wonder!

My flowers came in for the season, so I offered some to #Aphrodite! :)

In this challenging time, I encourage you to expand your definition of “spiritual.” #Aphrodite has shown me that anything done consciously and with intention can be #spiritual. Ordinary, mundane things or necessary chores can be spiritual. Taking care of yourself is spiritual!

Coming on Monday:
a love letter to monsters

Why I lay roses at the feet of my fears.

#HeartMagick #Roses #Monsters #Substack #IrisanyaMoon #Fear

greeted by Jupiter, Venus and Neptune
and old thoughts
the kind i still find in my pockets
and i roll them around in my hand
they are smoother each time

We Need to Talk About the Pink-Pill Pipeline You can't slap a tiara on a human rights crisis and call it the 'princess treatment'

While the radicalization of young men is largely seen for what it is, the insidious campaign targeting young women isn’t positioned as indoctrination. It’s a lifestyle, an aesthetic, and—most dangerously—a perfectly good and feminist choice.

bright blooming for my morning walk
planning a class of deep longing
my voice is steadier
a new book of untold stories
but the wind found my rhythm
& the leaves fell
& collected one small feather
i am watching the ground
more than the sky

the seeds planted
a harvest emerging
hungry, always hungry

back to my running shenanigans
after a weekend of rest
park time, ocean time
cleaning and clearing
friend catchup
partner time

the days are growing shorter here
but warmer
and insistent
something is on its way

MONDAY HEART MAGICK

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing C.S. Lewis

This essay speaks to Aphrodite, Adonis, & bleeding beautiful things

sometimes i need to escape
the allure of hiding in a page’s promise
(what cannot leave
cannot return)
this weekend is for
letting words settle
letting sounds ring into possibility
not pouring
filling
finding
following the next breath
until i know how
to allow
the next moment to reach
for my hand

writing break weekend
starts with a misty park walk
reflections, blackberries, quail, goats
(i saw turkeys on the way home)
i am visiting places whose landscape
i have memorized
(and i wonder if they remember me too)

#IrisanyaMoon #HeartMagick #LifeIsALoveSpell #SelfDevotion #HeartWitch #Devotion

51K+ words and many citations later…another Aphrodite book is complete.

She’s a beaut.
And an offering:
to you, to me, to Her.

And I have to find a way to be complete with this work. At least for now.

And she’s definitely not the last. She already told me.

💕💕💕

Hail Αφροδιτη!
Hail Love!

❤️ APHRODITE'S DAY ❤️

This month is Aphrodite's 5th birthday. (Well, my first book on her.)

My love, my Love. I celebrate you every day.
