Long ago, mystics believed that along with every renewal of the phases of the Moon came shifts within the souls of all stones, plants, animals, and yes, even humans. This book highlights these shifts and explains how we are affected by them, how to tap into them for wholesome living, and how to engage obstacles we might encounter along the way. Drawing from a rich treasury of ancient Hebraic mystery wisdom and her many years of experience as a spiritual healer and counselor, Miriam Maron introduces us to the remarkable interplay between the months of the yearly cycle and tribal archetypes in the Hebraic tradition. She discusses each month's corresponding animal, mineral, and plant totems. In Ancient Moon Wisdom, one will discover important life lessons from the histories and mythologies surrounding these archetypes and the deeper meanings behind each of their corresponding months--all of which will prove helpful in one's personal unfolding.

The Rise of Wisdom Moon was composed during the mid-eleventh century by Krishna mishra, an otherwise unknown poet in the service of the Chandella dynasty, whose cultural and religious capital was Khajuraho. The early popularity of Krishna mishra’s work led to its frequent translation into the vernaculars of both North and South India, and even Persian as well. Famed as providing the enduring model of the allegorical play for all subsequent Sanskrit literature, The Rise of Wisdom Moon offers a satirical account of the conquest of the holy city of Benares by Nescience, of the war of liberation waged by the forces of Intuition, and of the freedom of the Inner Man that then follows the rise of Wisdom. But at the outset, when Nescience still has the upper hand, with minions like Lord Lust, such developments seem unlikely.

Marked by eloquent poetry, vigorous and extensive analysis, and heart instructions on breaking through the veils of confusion to independently experience the true nature of things, The Karmapa’s Middle Way contains the Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje’s comprehensive commentary on the Indian master Chandrakīrti’s seminal text, the Madhyamakāvatāra, or Entrance to the Middle Way. This commentary, Feast for the Fortunate, is the Ninth Karmapa’s abridgement of the Eighth Karmapa Mikyö Dorje’s masterpiece, the Chariot of the Takpo Kagyü Siddhas. In it, readers will find previously unavailable material on the Karmapas’ Middle Way view and a rare window into a philosophically charged era of Middle Way exposition in Tibetan Buddhism. It includes Chandrakīrti’s root text to the Entrance to the Middle Way and its commentary by the Ninth Karmapa; an introduction detailing the history of the Middle Way, key Middle Way philosophical principles, and the main points of each chapter of the text; an annotated translation of a famous excerpt of Chandrakīrti’s Lucid Words; and other useful appendices and reference materials.

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.

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.
