The Vision: An Integrated Magical Practice
Right now, each tool works independently. But the real power comes when they work together.
Our roadmap includes:
- Unified Dashboard: See today’s planetary day, current hour, moon phase, and next sabbat all in one view
- Smart Recommendations: “Today is a Venus day, the Moon is waxing, and we’re approaching a Full Moon — ideal for love and abundance work”
- Personal Practice Tracking: Log your workings, see patterns, track results over time
- Correspondence Cross-Reference: Click any herb, stone, or color and see everywhere it appears in the system
- Notification System: Get alerts for planetary hours, moon phases, or sabbats you want to track
- Offline Access: Use the tools without internet connection
Built Open, Built Together
Everything here is free. No paywalls. No “premium tier” for the good stuff.
