Moonspade Magic is a name that comes from observations of change and the ability to be objective, even when our object of interest is in a state of constant change. The moon is a primary example of this, always appearing different to us because of the change in the shadows cast on it by the earth. 

The spade refers to the method of our work - the daily practice that creates the work; it is like a shovel and it requires a keenness of vision and a hunger for success. This shape is one that has many meanings. It has the perspective of one way of seeing things and that is the way of continued practice and dedication to our craft. 

Magic refers to the emotion and the unseen connections between the physical things, they cannot be explained but only felt and perceived. It is the combination of these things that create Moonspade Magic, this is why when we observe and paint the hands we do it in such a way that the hands are moving like the shadow of the moon across the face of it, in colours that we feel, in our scientific knowledge of anatomy but using our spiritual knowledge of the self being connected to everything else, the abandonment of the concept of knowing everything. Magic has a mystery and we like that we cannot say everything about it, that is why we are called Moonspade Magic.
