Manifesting With The New Moon
We have another magical day ahead, witches!
Today, we’re turning our attention to the moon, setting intentions, and making a little room for the possibilities waiting just beyond the veil. Whether you’re here for the rituals, the giveaways, or the community fun, I’m so glad you’re celebrating with us!
Watch the Premiere!
The new moon is a wonderful time to reflect on what you want to invite into your life and set intentions for the next chapter. And with this year’s theme, it feels like the perfect time to explore a little moon magic! 🌙
Join me for today’s YouTube premiere at 4 PM Eastern! We’ll chat, watch together, and I’ll show you some of my favorite rituals and spaces for manifesting. I can’t wait to hang out with you and share a little magic!

Happy Spooktacular!
I love my physical copy of my books bc I can always go back to them at any time and I love to be able to do that. If I suddenly want to pick one up and read it I can. Plus the feeling of actually flipping a page never gets old!
Companies are moving towards a rental type situation, where you can buy the electronic copy and it can disappear at any time. I prefer to own the physical book, and be able to use it even if the electricity and the internet is down. 🙂
It’s the smell of physical books I love the most.
Already enjoying spooktacular so much!
Thank you, Sarra, for everything you do for us. Looking forward to see what you’ve planned for the Spooktacular this year!
Growing i hated reading but I love it now and have for a long time. I just needed to find something that I was it interested in and I had to keep searching for things that were not your normal every day book. Which is how I found the SDS yesrs ago. So for me to have the physical book knowing I read and finished It is a big deal for me.
I love the feel of physical books. Just flipping through pages and running my fingers over the spines on my shelf. Love it!
I love collecting physical copies of books because I don’t have to worry about losing them. I also love the way a full bookshelf looks!
Also loving the return of the Shadow Demons scavenger hunt!
Miss you, but I am so excited for your success and all that you do.
Happy Saturday to everyone! Love all the spooktacular fun coming our way!
My favorite thing about physical books is the smell and the feeling it gives me. When you’re using a device to read a book, it’s very impersonal, almost cold, in its experience. There’s just something missing. When it comes to sitting down and reading a physical book, it’s an entire experience: the smell, the touch, the feel. It’s something that cannot be replicated with devices.
It’s a cold rainy day here in Virginia. The perfect day to curl up under a blanket, make a hot latte, and disappear into a good book!
So excited for Spooktacular 2026!
Spooktacular is soooo fun!!
What is the difference between YouTube membership and Patreon? Thanks!
I love getting comfortable with a blanket, coffee, and a physical book. Also getting them in the mail is so exciting and then adding to a book shelf. I love being able to read them over and over again.
It’s the smell of the physical book and having them arranged on my bookshelf.
Colors and ideas staring me in the face ☺️
I missed the live of the premiere, but I just caught it on replay. Your energy absolutely transformed in the video as you took your steps to tend to yourself. Thanks for sharing your rituals with us. (Oh, and yeah, *fingers crossed on the giveaway.* Hehe. Physical books are amazing.)
Even though the weather is still hanging onto summer where I am, Spooktacular grounds me in Fall, Halloween, and October.
Loving his all so far!
Missed the live again today, I live in The Dalles, OR and had to go with a family member to Portland, OR for an appointment. But I am going to do my best to be at the events tomorrrow (Sunday), it will be fun! I am going to watch the replay now. Thank you for the Book Tracker yewsterday and the Word Scramble today, I am having fun with all of this, this is my fave time of year and Spooktacular is my Fave event!!!
I love holding a physical copy of a book and turning the pages. Feels like yiu are progressing more in the story when you can see how much you have read.
Nothing beats a physical book.
I don’t know how to pick a favourite thing about collecting physical books. But if I had to pick one I have to go with how much I love how they cozy up my home. Whether they’re on their shelf or scattered around in the house in various stages of being read by the people who live here, physical books just have a quiet way of making home feel like home.
It’s always nice when this comes around because then I know fall is starting.
My favorite thing about physical books is that they are signed by the lovely Sarra!!! which makes them super special 🙂
Seeing my collection of favorite books on my bookshelf just makes me so happy!
Ooh I love this series! Would be stoked to own a paperback copy of them in addition to my ebook version <3
Honestly, my favourite thing about physical books is that it’s way easier and faster to flip through them when trying to find a specific scene 😀
easy to read
I love the tactile nature of books…and the smell of the paper! 😉
I’ve always loved the smell of physical books and I think it’s more satisfying to see them on the shelves. The added benefit to physical media is that it’s yours. No one can delete it from your device or change it after the fact. Ebooks are wonderful for convenience but I don’t rely on them for my favorite stories. Just in case. (Thought I do often get my favorites in multiple formats!)
Books are life, no matter what the media!
I love being able to pull it off the shelf and look up any scene anytime I want. I tend to only keep books I know I’ll reread
Enjoyed the live video.
I love physical books because I love to see the book covers. I use my Kindle more because it is easier to use but I have a big bookcase full of books.
Just looking at my beautiful physical books on my shelves makes me so happy. I know I will never read them all (I have a home library of 5000+ books), but just knowing all the possibilities are there is a comfort. As John Waters says, ‘Collect books, even if you don’t plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library.’
can’t wait to see what you have in store for this year. you always bring the good stuff.
The smell of the pages.
Happy Monday!!!
Changing out all the physical copies of printed books is much harder than a few keystrokes, and something that is a very, very good thing.
Physical books…. books you can clutch to your chest like a security blanket of words and phrases, of peoples & worlds that are held so dear. The smell of them, the crisp sound of the turning page. All of this and more – from the time I could grip a book in my little hands. But for today… today, they are my trophies. My tangible souvenirs of my favorite places. I grab books in any form or format- any story- and greedily gobble them all up. Only the few adorn my shelves in printed form, but all are loved in one form or another. But those on my shelves today are my special friends.
Looking forward to the scavenger hunt this year!
There is something about touching the pages that makes reading more enjoyable to me.
Whose ready for some gaming to tomorrow!
I think for me my favourite part of collecting physical books is being able to see and touch them. And also if have doubles of books getting to see the differences in covers and stuff.
I love the feel of a physical book and carrying it wherever I go.
It’s the physical feeling I get from holding a book and flipping the pages.
This post made me buy a book. I blame Sarra
Excited for the coffee chat!!
Happy Friday Eve!
I can hopefully get the author’s autograph, so I can cherish the moment forever!
Physical books mean I don’t have to worry about wifi or battery. Plus some books I do like to mark up and annotate as I study them. It’s easier to go back through my notations in a physical copy than a digital one.
Hope everyone is enjoying spooktacular so far!
Happy Saturday!
