Download or read book A Year of Moons written by Joseph Bruchac and published by Fulcrum Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There's a fresh coating of snow on the ground outside our cabin as I look to see who's coming to the fourteen feeders, we keep filled with black oil sunflower seeds year-round.” So begins A Year of Moons: Stories from the Adirondack Foothills, a collection of essays by award winning author Joeseph Bruchac. The collection is a reflection on the rhythms of the land, the lunar cycles of the year, the plants and animals that surround us, and the connections that link humans, animals and the land. With one foot rooted firmly in the inheritance of nature essays, and another rooted firmly in Bruchac's Abenaki heritage, the collection is an artifact of a beautiful landscape and the changes it encounters throughout the year. In his thoughtful and perceptive way, Bruchac contemplates the changing of the seasons, his relationship with the creatures and plant life that share his home, and a vision of stewardship. Bruchac's curiosity and reverence for the earth shines through on every page as he looks at the place he calls home with new eyes, reflected by the changing of each season's moon.

Download or read book Thirteen Moons written by Charles Frazier and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-12-17 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This magnificent novel by one of America’s finest writers is the epic of one man’s remarkable journey, set in nineteenth-century America against the background of a vanishing people and a rich way of life. At the age of twelve, under the Wind moon, Will is given a horse, a key, and a map, and sent alone into the Indian Nation to run a trading post as a bound boy. It is during this time that he grows into a man, learning, as he does, of the raw power it takes to create a life, to find a home. In a card game with a white Indian named Featherstone, Will wins – for a brief moment – a mysterious girl named Claire, and his passion and desire for her spans this novel. As Will’s destiny intertwines with the fate of the Cherokee Indians – including a Cherokee Chief named Bear – he learns how to fight and survive in the face of both nature and men, and eventually, under the Corn Tassel Moon, Will begins the fight against Washington City to preserve the Cherokee’s homeland and culture. And he will come to know the truth behind his belief that “only desire trumps time.” Brilliantly imagined, written with great power and beauty by a master of American fiction, Thirteen Moons is a stunning novel about a man’s passion for a woman, and how loss, longing and love can shape a man’s destiny over the many moons of a life.

Download or read book Moonstrology written by Sara Wiseman and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-24 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I love the moon. I love its power, its mystery, the way it offers Universal connection to each of us, no matter where we are in the world or in the time passage of our lives. I love the changeable nature of the moon-the way it sways the water in our bodies and in the greater body of Gaia's oceans. There is love, there is enchantment, and when we are very still and very aware, the moon communicates wisdom. There are many extraordinary books about the cycles of the moon, which cover phases in minute detail. These are wonderful and offer great help to people who are interested in the deep study of pagan or shamanistic paths. This book is much simpler. It is designed to be a twice-monthly (and in some months, more frequent) touchstone to help you connect to the energy of the moon in its two most powerful spiritual phases-the new moon, and the full moon. As you become aware of the new and full moons in your life, and begin to work with this moon energy, you will find you becoming spiritual clear-you set intention at new moon using the influence of the sign the moon is entering, and you release at full moon, using the influence of the sign the moon is leaving. Over the course of a year, you will visit 12 (or more) signs in both the cycle of beginning and releasing, and you will have journeyed through a complete astrological cycle-physically, emotionally and spiritually.Because the moon does not inhabit the same position on the same days ever year, I have provided several moon phase calendars for the upcoming years. If you are reading this book after the last calendar listed, no problem. Simply go online and look for "moon lunar phrases" or "moon astrological phases" to determine the exact date and time of the new and full moons in upcoming years. The information is free and readily available, and will be easy to find. Finally, I've decided to present Moonstrology in the order the moon cycles normally move through a calendar year, beginning in January. For example, we often begin with a new moon in Capricorn, full moon in Cancer. This is not how it works every January, but it is the order that you will most likely experience. In cases of lunar eclipses, expanded or moon phases or solar eclipses, these also happen differently every year. I would suggest you consult the calendars, or again, research your own in later years.Finally, this book is channeled. I approach spiritual connection with the moon in the same way I do all things, which is via direct connection with the Universe: I close my eyes, breathe deeply until I am relaxed, and slip into a meditative trance state where the words flow through me onto the page. Because of the way this information is received, it is probably or even certainly different than what you will find in other books. It is my offering to you, in hopes that it will spark a new understanding and a new way of working with this marvelous Divine mystery that is the moon.

Book Synopsis The Moon Book by : Sarah Faith Gottesdiener
Download or read book The Moon Book written by Sarah Faith Gottesdiener and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to conscious living through the moon and her phases, incorporating wellness rituals, spellwork, and witchcraft for the modern seeker. We all know the moon. We all have a relationship with it. The earliest people obeyed her orbit, timed their months and holidays and celebrations and agriculture to the moon; the echoes of that system are still visible today, though the connection to the moon is often forgotten. Sarah Faith Gottesdiener is the leader of a movement to remind us of that lineage, guiding our rhythms and our sleep, our energy and our emotions, reminding us of our humanity and our magic. In her self-published Many Moons Workbooks and Lunar Journals, as well as her sold-out classes, she has guided over 50,000 readers to a deeper relationship with the moon, and through it, with themselves. This evergreen book will be an informative and comprehensive guide to lunar living, incorporating radical, self-empowering, and magical tools and resources for the beginner and experienced lunar-follower alike. Depending on where we are in our lives, depending on what we are feeling or what is happening around us, the moon allows us a space to invite ritual into our daily lives. The Moon Book will provide a framework on how to utilize the entire lunar cycle holistically, while offering ways for the reader to develop a personal relationship with their own cycles—energetic, personal, and emotional—through the lens of the moon’s phases.
