Book Coven Update: We’re Back & Better Than Ever!

Hello my enchanted friends,

First of all… thank you for being here. Truly. Every time I sit down to create, connect, and share with you, I’m reminded why this space matters so much to me. And honestly? Coming back to this feels so good.

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that life has been… a journey. Between health issues, surgery, moving countries, classes, and general chaos, my socials haven’t been as active as I wanted them to be. But I’m finally in a place where things feel stable again. Grounded, settled, and aligned. And that means I get to pour my energy back into the things I love most… like this.

So let’s talk about where we are, where we’re going, and what you can expect from the Enchanted Book Coven moving forward.
(PS: If you want the full life update, not just Book Coven news, check out my
January Epistle post!)


A Little Recap: What We’ve Done So Far

Our main book has been: Elemental Witchcraft by Heron Michelle

We’ve already made it almost halfway through the book! Our last discussion ended on page 132.

If you’re new or want to catch up, good news: All previous live Book Coven meetings are still available:

  • On my YouTube channel under the Live tab

  • Or the Book Coven playlist

  • And blogged on my website for easy access

So whether you want to binge-watch, slowly catch up, or just jump in where we are now, you’re welcome exactly as you are.

Originally, I wanted to time everything perfectly with the seasons since the book follows that rhythm. That didn’t go exactly as planned (life had other ideas), but honestly? That’s okay. We’re just going to flow with it and move forward together. No perfectionism here. Just vibes.


Introducing Our Second Book

We’re officially adding a second book into our Coven rotation: The Great Work by

This one might look intimidating, but it’s actually very different in style:

  • Less “read & discuss”

  • More shadow work, reflection, and journaling

  • Daily prompts

  • Deep grounding and self-exploration

Think of it as:

  • Our inner work book

  • Our “let’s get honest with ourselves” book

  • Our shadow side tea-time companion
    (or tissues and crying time… that’s healing too)

 

How We’ll Be Working Through Both Books

Since we’re now doing two books at once, I’m adjusting the pacing so it feels supportive, not overwhelming.

✨ Elemental Witchcraft (Main Discussion Book)

  • Weekly live discussions

  • Around 15 pages per week (slower & more intentional)

  • Deep dives, reflections, and shared experiences

I’ll also leave some time at the end of each live for reflections from The Great Work so we can gently weave both books together.

🌙 The Great Work (Shadow Work Book)

Instead of daily livestreams (because… realistically, I want to stay consistent and not burn out):

  • I’ll post short daily videos:

    • YouTube Shorts

    • Instagram Reels

  • Each video will focus on that day’s prompt

  • Bite-sized reflection moments

Originally, I planned to start on Yule (December 21st) like the book suggests… Buuut… did I actually start then? No. 😅

That’s okay though. I’ll be:

  • Backtracking

  • Catching up

  • Posting prompts so the dates eventually align again

You’ll see those little videos start trickling in very soon.

 

Weekly Schedule Update

📅 Book Coven Lives are now on WEDNESDAYS
🕘 9:00 AM CET (German time)

Why the change? Before, I loved the old time slot because it worked nicely for both:

  • Germany

  • US East Coast

But realistically, sometimes evenings here get chaotic once my husband is home, and I want to show up fully present for you, not rushed or distracted. The good news? All live videos will always be available for replay, so you can watch whenever it works for you. I also encourage you to comment on these videos so I can reply to you, then address things in more detail during the next meeting if needed.


Blog Posts & Recaps

Going forward, every weekly live will also get a detailed blog recap

  • I’ll be:

    • Posting them more consistently

    • Remembering to link them properly under each video

    • Keeping everything easy to find and organized

For The Great Work:

  • Daily videos will go out

  • PLUS a weekly summary blog post

    • Recapping that week’s prompts

    • Creating space for discussion in the comments

This way you can watch, read, reflect, and engage however works best for you.

 

What’s Next?

For our next live Book Coven meeting:

📖 Elemental Witchcraft
➡️ Pages 133–148
📖 Catching up with some of the prompts from “The Great Work”

(Lets get some tea brewing and witchy chatting going!)

You can read ahead, catch up on past lives, or just show up and listen (no pressure, ever!)


Big Feelings & Gratitude

I’m honestly just so excited.

Life feels… settled. Germany feels like home now. My classes are almost done (one exam left!). And I finally have the space to pour my heart back into this community. To me, this Book Coven isn’t just about books.
It’s about:

  • Connection

  • Shared growth

  • Witchy conversations

  • Feeling seen

  • Learning from each other

And I love hearing your thoughts, reflections, and experiences.
