The Great Book of the Moon
Moonmagic - About the force, the wisdom and the influence of the moon in everyday life
160 pages
illustrated in B/W
Thousands of years ago the ancient tribes and civilizations were very much aware of the forces of the moon. The moon was a powerful medium who could strongly influence, sometimes even dominate, nature and mankind. Even today, the moon keeps intriguing us, not in the least because of the everlasting phenomenon of her continuously 'appearing' and 'disappearing' and the effects thereof.
The Great Book of the Moon contains everything which 'luna-lovers' (luna = moon) want to know - and more. Just like Modern Witches, the author's first book that became a bestseller that sold about 30.000 copies in one year, this book offers a mine of information to anybody concerned - who isn't? So-called 'spells', rituals, myths about moongods and goddesses, interesting pieces of information and facts, correspondences, (ritual) recipes, magic, divination and moonfestivals, various calendars and the special ties which join primarily women to the moon, are described extensively.
Captivating and gripping intermezzo's and interviews in which several people tell about their fascination for the moon conclude this modern approach of 'Present-day Moonmagic'.
Interested in the moon, her powers en her influence on our lives? The Great Book of the Moon has (almost) all the answers...
