Incorporate the Moon's Magic into Your Life
We follow the cycles of the moon whether we realize it or not. We watch the moon change from new to full and back again and maybe we are aware of some of its history or influences.
We practice our magic's by the cycles of the moon, but how many of us know the reasons? We may be aware of the moons effect on the tides and women's cycles, but do we understand the connection of the moon to weather, growth and magic?
Dorothy Morrison has put together in this book a wonderful primer that is chock full of moon lore, moon mystery and moon magic. And because of all the bits of information collected here, even the experienced practitioner will read through this book and come away scratching their head saying "I didn't know that!"
Ms. Morrison includes in this book some of the history of moon lore and moon cycles. Included are bits of 'old sayings' and superstitions as well as names of the monthly moons and what they mean. She reviews the moon phases and effects.
Ms. Morrison also discusses astrological terms referencing the moon and what they actually mean. For those who are not familiar or don't remember or are not sure, this section alone is worth the price of the book. Then she takes it a step further by explaining how these references apply in relationship to our magic and our lives. Times and cycles for ritual, magic and spells are also discussed and examined.
Empowerment moon rituals filled with positive affirmations for the building of personal self esteem, which Ms. Morrison is so good at writing, are here for you to incorporate into your own ritual material. And, of course, no book by Dorothy Morrison would be complete without a whole section of her wonderful spells.
As usual, Dorothy takes all this and puts it into a book that shows you, step by step, how to work this into your everyday life, making it a practical as well as informative book.
There is so much more here that I've not included in this review because it would take pages to write about. Needless to say, Ms. Morrison has been thorough in her research. There is a table of contents to help you find what you are looking for as well as a bibliography. Add to that her easy to read format and no nonsense approach to teaching, and you have a winner here.
This is a book that should be considered when you are in the store looking for something practical, informative and just plain good to read and add to your library.

Pleasant & Practical
I purchased this book a few years ago to help ease me into learning more about the phases of the moon and I am still pleasantly surprised by my continual return to its pages.

This book is wonderful for many reasons, not merely its calm but strong introduction to the phases of the moon and the subsequent passage through the solar year. She introduces the ways that we are affected and moved by the moon's phases and how we can celebrate these changes to bring us into alignment with such, bringing enlightenment.

There is a month by month calendar organised into sections discussing the meaning of each moon, correspondances to bring into your celebration such as colours, suitable wording to draw on the associated energies of the moon and finally nice ideas to celebrate each moon with family, friends or a like-minded circle.
In fact, I personally use these as a springboard when I know I have company for a sabbat and look up the associated moon ie June for Midsummer etc.

She completes the book with spells for each phase of the moon, organised into such headings as luck, wisdom, weight-loss etc. These are nice for a witch finding her feet, and similarly nice for the intermediate learning to construct her own spells but having 'spellcaster's block' to take ideas and the important lesson of "simply does it".

The author speaks to the reader with steady confidence in her belief, rituals and knowledge which is indeed shown in the pages without being confusing nor patronising, she manages to convey complex ideas in a simple way without losing meaning and retaining depth.

I am not usually a fan of LLewellyn publications, but this is a surprisingly welcome and refreshing change from the usual, and Dorothy Morrison is one of few authors that can prove the stereotype wrong.
