moon to moon
Illuminating the path of the inner voice
You know the way. It’s the way that only you can know. It’s the way of your Moon-self.
Named after my podcast and workbook, Moon to Moon is a 9-week transformational intensive to deprogram from harmful conditioning, unlearn patterns of self-abandonment, repair from repeated breaches in self-trust, protect the present moment from your inner child’s fear of it, and become unwavering to your truth in the face of invalidation.
My teaching collaborator for Moon to Moon is the divine Rebecca Padgett, who is a psychic, mystic, artist, and astrologer. You can learn about Rebecca below.
It was the Moon that claimed me first.
It was 2017, and I was 39 years old. I looked up on a warm summer night to see a deliciously swollen full Moon, and it was as if I were seeing it for the first time. The Moon wanted my attention. It was trying to talk to me.
You have to understand that this was fairly preposterous for me at the time. I wasn’t in the habit of monitoring the lunar phases. But I was also in a period of dissolution, loosening and untying the strands of who I thought I was. My long-upheld identities were no longer that compelling to me. I was tired of striving.
In the cracks that opened up with all this new consciousness, the Moon started talking. The Moon called to me, saying, “Come home.”
The Moon’s first lesson was an invitation to slow down and tune in to my inner voice, something I’d been terrified to do. Why? Because some part of me knew that if I heard myself name what I wanted and didn’t want, my world would have to change.
This change might be confusing to people. This change might mean being judged by people. And this change might even hurt people, people I loved very much.
I looked at that Moon on that summer night, and it was as if I saw my own reflection for the first time. It was both loving and firm: “It’s time.” I said Yes to the Moon. I was seduced by the Moon inside myself. The part of me, both ancient and childlike, who knows the way.
That Yes was a spell.
Moon to Moon Design Structure
The Moon to Moon curriculum is being designed in collaboration with my guidance. I am listening in the dark. A phrasing that has come forward is “The Way of the Three,” and I have been letting this lead me into new and unexpected places of inspiration for us. Maiden-Mother-Crone. Past-Present-Future. Hekate as our patroness.
The structure of the flow is being held by a horizontal and vertical cross. Horizontally, we see the flow of themes from Part 1 through Part 3 over time, from September to November. These 3 phases correspond to the tarot cards Two of Swords then The Chariot then The Moon. Vertically, the experience reveals what is already in you from below (The High Priestess) in order to catalyze more access to magic in your above-world, outer expression (Queen of Wands). Let me describe.
(All images below are from the Spolia Tarot, which sit by my side as I dream this course into being. No knowledge of the tarot is needed to participate in this course.)
Phase 1: Cultivating a Space to Listen
You cannot become your own Moon if you’re afraid of the dark. You cannot become the one-who-knows if you lack self-trust. You cannot become your own wise guide if you cede authority elsewhere.
Two of Swords in the tarot relates to times when it’s necessary to go within and listen for your own truth.
Part 1 is an invitation to get off the train of your programmed life, that train that’s pummeling ever faster toward death.
Through Two of Swords, you will be inspired to take some fucking space for yourself. You will learn the ways of living in cycle. You will practice energetic hygiene and sovereignty. You will learn how to notice and name the boundaries you most need in any given moment.
Phase 2: Discerning the Wise Voice Within
It’s not that we don’t hear a voice within; it’s that we weren’t given the tools to know if the voice is past or present, ours or someone else’s, fear or intuition.
How can we guide our way in the dark if we can’t tell which voice is the one who knows the way? There is a qualitative difference between the false comfort of certainty and the unnerving calm of trusting the path in the dark.
The Chariot in the tarot is associated with how we move through life and negotiate life experiences as humans with conscious goals (white swan) and unconscious needs (black swan).
Part 2 is an invitation to heighten your listening senses so that you can broaden your repertoire of responses to whatever life brings you.
Phase 3: Speaking from the Truth Voice of Power
The Moon-self within isn’t threatened by any crossroad. The Truth Voice inside you points the way.
You soothe the younger parts of you that are afraid. You seek counsel from the older parts of you that already know. And from the present moment, you speak. You decide. And you act.
In the tarot The Moon is a card that deepens our confidence in navigating the unknown, the mysterious, and the uncertain. We grow trust in our capacity to transition and transform through liminal experiences. We see in the dark.
In Part 3 you will learn how to speak from a basin of truth and authenticity. You will access the parts of you that long to act in the world from the aligned knowing of who you are and who you are not. You will develop practices of trusting in process.
Our Dream for Your Inner Realm: Revealing the Moon Within
Across our time together, you will remember who you always already are: a being with limitless access to wells of wisdom across multiple timelines and dimensions.
This is a part of you that craves alone time so that you can go within to your own treasure-world. This is a part of you that’s just for you. You can share what you hear, see, and know from your troves, but no one can walk this with you.
In the tarot, The High Priestess speaks to the part of you that is the keeper of ancient mysteries and the temple of their own primordial truth. This is a part of you who can access the astral plane, past lives, and angelic realms. This is a part of you that does not need an external authority to connect you to the numinous.
Like the snake represented here, you will learn how to trust in the process of molting – shedding skin that no longer fits so that you can expand and grow into your emergent self.
Our Dream for Your Outer Realm: Emerging Magical AF
When you give yourself the space to listen, to reprogram, to release, and to heal the inner realm like we’re doing together, what emerges externally is a version of yourself with more zest, razzmatazz, ferocity, and swagger than you’ve known yourself to possess.
In the tarot, the Queen of Wands is a part of us that is an incendiary being without trying to be. It’s just a side effect of loving ourselves so much. It’s the outcome of so much self-compassion, self-awareness, and self-listening.
The Queen of Wands part of you is a bit terrifying because you are so fully alive when you inhabit this energy. People around you may tremble with awe and a bit of fear in your presence when you’re Queen of Wands. You have to have the capacity to let yourself be experienced this way.
Moon to Moon is a spell. A spell for your power.

My Moon to Moon workbook is required for this class. Since so many of you already own Moon to Moon, I will have two options at registration, one for those who have it and one for those who don’t.
“Britten, I had an intuitive call to reach out and tell you how thankful I am that your work has come into my field of vision. I did not know that this is exactly what I have been needing. I did not know that this was to be my path. Truth be told, as a 42-year old woman going through a big life shift right now, I had lost my intuitive sense and found myself grasping for answers, direction. Receiving your book Moon to Moon as a gift is the beginning of what I consider to be a re-purposing of self, an initiation into realignment, and finally diving into the trauma work that I’ve feared confronting. Thank you for putting your energy into the world and allowing yourself to shine. Your impact is felt and appreciated.” ~ M. S. (thank you)
Meet Your guides
Britten LaRue is a transformational astrologer, teacher, and author. She couldn’t show up with all that Aries Rising Fire and build her big world with her Capricorn Moon if she didn’t give herself loads of permission to be a very Pisces person with Sun-Mercury-Venus in the 12th House of solitude. Discovering how to protect her intuition has changed her life.
A 3/5 Manifesting Generator with 7 defined centers and 2 motors connected to her throat, Britten is learning to understand herself as someone who – by showing up in her authentic presence – supports others in taking heart-leaps into the unknown. When you take her hand, you are turning toward your own wildness.
A student once called Britten a Wild Teacher, in that she isn’t interested in handing out formulas or templates. She isn’t doing your emergence for you. Britten is passionate about holding the space while you call in your own.
Rebecca Padgett is an artist and mystic, who lives in rural Ontario, Canada.
Rebecca’s passion is to help guide people to develop their own intuitive and psychic abilities. She uses a range of tools, from astrology, tarot, and reiki, to psychism and mediumship, working with spirit guides and her intuition to support clients on their path through life’s changes and challenges. She is also intensely interested in exploring the area where intuition and creativity meet, be it through intuitive abstract painting or her current work exploring ancestors through found objects and collage.
Rebecca enjoys working with the cycles of the seasons, animals, and the night sky, and living in the wide-open, rural landscape, which quiets and expands her mind, allowing her work to grow and change in harmony with the cyclical nature of the world around her.
Britten & Rebecca’s moonlit paths came together in early 2020 when Rebecca discovered Britten’s brand new podcast Moon to Moon & felt drawn to keep listening. Soon after, Rebecca enrolled in Britten’s year-long astrology survey. Britten was taken by Rebecca’s deep commitment to attuning to the language and letting it claim her.
Two years later, Rebecca enrolled in Britten’s 2022 Magician’s Table after waking from a dream where the two of them shared cake and cackled together in the back of an old metaphysical shop! Within that container, Rebecca named her desire to claim her calling as a psychic & mystic. You can hear them talk about that experience on M2M’s “This is Who I Am Now: Emerging as a Mystic.”
For the 2023 TMT, Britten asked Rebecca to join as The 13th Reader. Collaborating was a joyful and nourishing experience for both of them.
Britten & Rebecca are dead serious about serving Moon to Moon from the wells of love they both hold for this material. They are thrilled and honored to be your stewards on this path.
Testimonials from Folks who participated in The 2023 Magician’s Table with Britten & Rebecca
“Britten & Rebecca make such a fantastic team! Britten is the Queen of Wands and Rebecca is the Queen of Cups. My experience in this container was nothing short of miraculous. It catalyzed movement for all the shifts that have been happening for me these last couple years. I feel like I’m on a whole new timeline, and I fact may have jumped MANY timelines over the course of that three months. I am in awe and grateful.” – Lisa Quigley of theglitchwitch.com
“Working with Britten & Rebecca was like having support from the best big sisters, wise women, witchy mentors, fairy godmothers, and magical teachers I could have ever asked for.” ~ Belle P.
“Britten and Rebecca are an experience. (I literally have no other words. Maybe I’ll paint something.) Britten walks in her power and it truly encourages you to do the same. She just lights you up. She is MALEFIC AF. She is spider wisdom. Rebecca is a dream on earth. She is full of wisdom and the way she holds space for others is so deliciously soft. I plan on training my own psychic and mystic skills with her.” ~ Samar Jade of ensoulmentdoula.com
“Britten and Rebecca are two luminaries, both radiating supportive, uplifting magic. Their creative essences are wholly unique, and when intertwined create a deep and wide container that nurtures the seeds of their students. I felt Britten’s solar radiation drawing us out of the dark, and Rebecca’s lunar knowledge illuminating the path. If Rebecca is The High Priestess, Britten is The Star.” ~ Julie Kelton Yost of highlowtarot.com
“Britten’s approach is confident and knowledgeable; it is so easy to trust her and the power of her containers. She is honest, personal, and not afraid to cry. I appreciate that Britten incorporates her life story and her various metaphysical experiences across the field into her teaching, as so much of what we are working on is experiential. Every meditation, psychic tool, and text included is intentional and purposeful. Rebecca holds so much wisdom and her energy feels timeless, steady, and nurturing. Britten and Rebecca possess a natural synergy, which highlights their respective gifts and collective power. If Britten sets the stage, Rebecca runs a wonderful show. There is so much trust and respect in the partnership that radiates outward, putting us participants at ease through an intense experience.” ~ Alex Lai, intuitnursing.com
“Britten is raw, self-empowering, and expansive. Rebecca is grounding, mutative, and softly powerful. Both are powerful and expansive on their own, but together they create a channel that defies gravity. I felt so held and supported and so challenged in such beautiful ways.” ~ Silvia Poldaru
