Hello again!
I've come to two major conclusions.
No1. conclusion- I realise that I've actually made more of a commitment than I was consciously aware of. Which is not a bad thing, in fact it's a very good one. But it does mean that I now really have to walk my talk, and it's MY talk, because I wrote it!
No2. conclusion- I had better explain what's actually IN this book and what you can do with it so that you potential readers of my journey will know what the hell I'm talking about!
Okay here goes......
"Moon Rites a Feminine Path to Personal Power" is designed to be used as a tool to enhance your self-knowledge, acceptance, and personal power. It is divided into three sections. The following is a rundown on what's in it and how you can use it.
Section One- The Goddess
“The Goddess- From Herstory to Our Story” This chapter introduces you to the concept of a Divine Feminine Energy and talks about how this energy came to be understood by humans throughout history.
Section Two- Moon Rites
This section of the book devotes a chapter to each of our three major life stages- maiden or young woman (New Moon Goddess) Mother (Full Moon Goddess) and Crone or Wisewoman (Dark Moon Goddess) It is a celebration of whatever stage you find yourself in- with a ‘Words for Goddesses section’- a welcome; an example of a major ritual that can be performed to celebrate whichever transition you are experiencing; and an interview with a real person who discusses their own experience as a modern woman expressing this ancient feminine power.
My reason for including these sections was because sometimes we'd like to express our love and support for someone- be it a daughter- female relative- friend or mother or grandmother that is undergoing one of these life changing transitions, but we don’t have the words.
We may want to offer some kind of special celebration or to give helpful advice but have not had access to this kind of information ourselves in a way that is specifically designed for women. This section of the workbook gives examples of the many and varied words that can be used and ways that these occasions can be celebrated. there are also blank pages for you to note down anything you think or feel at these times.
Section Three- Moon Goddess Journal.
The final section of the workbook is divided into thirteen chapters- corresponding with the lunar months of a year. Each chapter contains
-Information on a Goddess archetype who is associated with The Moon and/or an aspect of Female Spirituality
-Information on some feature of holistic female wellbeing- from aromatherapy to herbal teas to storytelling to dream interpretation
-Rituals which apply to each life stage ( which can also be used as visualisation/affirmations or exercise) or a task to assist in personal development
Blank pages designed to allow you to record your thoughts, dreams, inspirations and observations in order to enhance your ability to understand your own needs, dreams and desires. In this way we can better make choices that reflect our true nature- leading to a more positive and empowered outlook on life.
Right, that's what Moon Rites contains, dear friends.
And it's this last section that I will be focusing on in my project, going through month by month and discussing what I'm doing, why I'm doing it and what the outcomes are. Another interesting thing I'm looking forward to doing is offering my current perspective on my own ideas and thoughts from ten years ago. I don't know how many authors get the chance to re-visit their own theories and put them to the test, it should be a very enlightening experience!
HOW YOU CAN JOIN IN
We are working hard to be able to offer you lovely Moon Goddesses the chance to come along for the ride. You can purchase Moon Rites the book at http://www.moondiary.com.au/ in hard copy. We are very soon hoping to also be able to offer it in E- book form. If we can't get the whole book done we'll be able to offer you a chapter per month.
I'm also hoping eventually to offer you MP3 downloads of the rituals so you can play them while you do the rite and not have to refer to a book OR- just use it as a guided meditation.
