Description
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.

Featured Reviews
I should state before I review further that this is a tad more in the new age bracket than I usually drift naturally, but the cover was gorgeous and my curiosity piqued.
With that said, there is a lot to like in this title. Gottesdiener speaks with a passion on the subject that's undeniable and brings a lot to the table. There are several introductory chapters that bring readers up to speed on a few related subtopics and potential branches of further study. The author maintains voice and clarity, though some of it can have the wired crossed a little easily. The book succeeded in having me look up moon phases around my birthday, and I had enjoyed the information I found out.
The only other major factor of note is that occasionally the clarity could be lost in some of the more... societal discussions. The author is very up front about the fact that their identity is tied in with these viewpoints, and I was glad to see that. I believe in many aspects the author and I agreed too much for me to let the aside bother me. However, I would be lying if I said that all of these seemed completely correct in their placement.
I can see this being an easy recommendation for those who have a burgeoning interest, or would like to flush out their library with a lunar specific title. Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced reading copy.
