First coffee, then magic - Breathing instead of abracadabra
Book 1 of the series!
Myrael is 22, chaotic, chronically overwhelmed, and pretty sure her life took a wrong turn somewhere. University feels empty, her thoughts are loud, and her days stumble from coffee to coffee. Only one thing feels strangely right: the quiet pull inside her, telling her there must be more. More than to-do lists, lectures, and the feeling of not quite functioning.
When she spontaneously signs up for a breathing class, she has no idea that this single evening will change everything. The instructor, Riven, seems calm, grounded, and completely out of place in her hectic world. He talks about breathing, grounding, and inner awareness as if magic were nothing lofty, but something deeply ordinary. Myrael stumbles in. First skeptical. Then curious. Then with an open heart.
Amid coffee cups, floor cushions, and mishaps, Myrael begins to learn: to breathe consciously, to ground herself, to sense energies, and to protect herself. Every step feels both new and familiar. The deeper she dives, the clearer it becomes that this world is not foreign—but one she remembers.
As Myrael develops, old certainties begin to shake. Her best friend Juna doesn’t understand the path she’s taking, and the conflict forces Myrael to honestly ask herself for the first time: who does she want to be—and for whom? At the same time, her closeness to Riven grows. Something gentle, intense, and unnamed develops between them. No fairy tale. No escape. Just a quiet recognition.
Myrael learns visualization, meditation, and eventually trance. She experiences power spots, sees auras, encounters chakras not as theory but as lived experience. Magic doesn’t reveal itself as spectacle, but as presence. As connection. As a return to oneself.
The turning point comes when Myrael hits a block. Too much insight, too many feelings, too many changes. She tries to return to her old life—and painfully realizes it no longer fits. Only when she unconsciously returns to a shared power spot does everything collapse—and begin to rearrange itself anew.
In her encounter with Riven, in silence, closeness, and trust, she finds support. She learns that growth doesn’t mean cutting off everything old, but taking oneself seriously. During the full moon ritual, she finally experiences how grounded and natural magic can be—and that rituals are not an escape, but conscious choices.
In the end, Myrael doesn’t stand at a clear destination. But she stands. With both feet on the ground. With an open gaze. With the sense that her life may transform. And with the question that leaves everything open:
What if this is only the beginning?
First coffee, then responsibility - Awareness instead of incense sticks
Book 2 of the series!
What happens when spirituality suddenly stops being romantic—and starts becoming responsibility?
Myrael has already taken the first step: she has begun to walk her own path between everyday life, spirituality, and self-awareness. But in the second volume, she quickly realizes that insight alone is not enough. Living consciously doesn’t just change you—it reshapes your relationships, your decisions, and your boundaries.
Between breathwork sessions, intense conversations, unexpected encounters, and quiet moments with a cup of coffee, Myrael begins to understand that real growth rarely looks spectacular. More often, it appears quietly:
in a firm “no,” in a silence that is endured, or in simply holding space instead of trying to fix everything.
This volume explores themes such as:
Responsibility in spiritual practice
Setting boundaries and holding space
Integration instead of constantly chasing new insights
Self-observation and honest reflection
The difference between wanting to help and truly being present
Through a blend of narrative scenes and practical exercises, a story unfolds about growth, doubt, and learning to live with one’s own realizations.
This book is not a guide filled with incense and easy enlightenment.
It is an invitation to look more closely.
Or, as Myrael slowly comes to understand:
Awareness doesn’t mean knowing everything.
It means being willing to take responsibility for what you see.
For those who appreciate spirituality—but prefer it with a clear mind and honest questions.
First coffee, then practice - Craft instead of enlightenment
Book 3 of the series!
What happens when knowledge suddenly turns into practice?
Myrael has learned to understand herself better. She has set boundaries, taken responsibility, and begun to find her own path. But now the next challenge awaits: she has to do more than simply apply what she has learned herself. She has to pass it on to others.
For the first time, Myrael finds herself on the other side of the classroom. She explains, demonstrates, practices, and observes. And she quickly realizes that knowledge alone is not enough. Every technique has its own rhythm. Cleansing needs not only a beginning, but also an ending. Protection does not work without boundaries. And sometimes the most important skill is simply recognizing when you should do nothing at all.
Between breathing exercises, grounding, cleansing, protection, circles, and rituals, theory slowly becomes practical skill. Myrael learns that practice does not mean mastering everything perfectly. It means staying attentive, recognizing mistakes, and taking responsibility for your own actions.
But then Elias reappears. A mysterious note, an old symbol, and a story from Riven’s past bring questions back that seemed long since answered. And suddenly Myrael has to decide how far she can trust someone when she herself does not know what lies behind the story.
This book explores topics such as:
the practical application of spiritual techniques
grounding, cleansing, and energetic protection
casting and closing circles
rituals and the conscious use of their structure
combining different techniques
leading groups and taking responsibility for others
reflection, observation, and how to deal with your own mistakes
Between narrative scenes and practical exercises, this book follows Myrael as she learns to turn what she has learned into something of her own.
Because at some point, knowing how something works is no longer enough.
You have to figure out when you need it.
And when it is better not to use it.
This book is not a spellbook filled with spectacular rituals, nor is it a guide to perfect enlightenment.
It is about practice.
About trying things out, observing, questioning, and eventually reaching a point where you no longer have to treat your own tools like tools.
Or, as Myrael slowly comes to understand:
Magic does not have to be spectacular.
But if you take it seriously, you also need to know what you are doing with it.
For everyone who enjoys spirituality but would rather try things out for themselves than simply believe everything they are told.
