"Sarah is a dedicated witch, a reverent observer of the Moon, and a
talented teacher of its cycles. This book is written from a place
that is informed by decades of practice, study, and experience. It
is packed full of practical magic.-- Chani Nicholas, New York
Times bestselling author of You Were Born For
This
Sarah Faith Gottesdiener is a kind, gentle soul who understands the
deep connection to celestial energy and is a mindful guide through
the lunar phases. She offers readers a journey into the wisdom that
The Moon Book offers with in-depth knowledge and inspiration
for both novices and experienced practitioners. This is an
essential book for the spiritually curious and those seeking
connection with the moon."--Shaman Durek, thought leader and author
of Spirit Hacking I don't know where I would be if I hadn't
been introduced to Sarah and her writings! ...Every time, I
continue to learn more and more about myself and my connection to
this existence. Sarah's writings are filled with the most
fascinating facts from history, but also the language that speaks
to your soul. I feel grounded, every time I open this book.--Mena
Suvari, actor It's evident that Sarah Gottesdiener has spent a
significant amount of time diving deeply into the mysteries and
offerings of the moon, and, luckily for us, has resurfaced with a
perspective that is fresh, alluring, and much needed in today's
world. A perspective of Moon as teacher, reconnecting us to a world
without patriarchal, industrialized control over our cycles,
instincts, and true selves; inviting us to return to intuition and
wildness.. A perspective of Moon as life goals, leading by example
with her boundaries and honesty.. A perspective of Moon as mystic,
"orbiting around a language beyond a language," casting her
luminous spell over us each night in myriad ways. In her
beautifully poetic yet forthright way, Gottesdiener guides us
through the cycles of the moon as a creative process: from the
somber dreams and seedling spells of the new moon, to the glowing
transformation of the full. This book is a beacon of healing,
illuminating our inner realms through ritual, introspection, and
more. For someone who recognizes how challenging it is to
encapsulate the wonder, sacredness, and spiralic nature of moon
magick into words, Gottesdiener has certainly done a magnificent
job of doing so.--Chelsea Wolfe, musician, witch I've been a
follower and fan of Sarah's work for years. She writes beautifully
about something that has been a part of every person's life every
night of their life. The Moon, get to know her!--Aidy Bryant, actor
and comedian You might think there were already enough books on
magic and the moon, but you'd be wrong. The Moon Book, by
Sarah Faith Gottesdiener, is a fabulous new addition that will take
you on a journey that is both mystical and practical. Her lyrical
writing style lifts the spirit and inspires the reader to reach for
the skies. This is one you're going to want to add to your magical
library.--Deborah Blake author of Modern Witchcraft: Goddess
Empowerment for the Kick-Ass Woman
THE MOON BOOK is a treasure chest of lunar wisdom that teaches us
to honor our own shape-shifting, and reminds us that we, too, can
radiate in the dark. Whether you're looking to tap into ancient
knowledge or manifest a more just and joyful future, this is the
guidebook for you. Sarah Faith Gottesdiener generates the radical
magic we need now.--Pam Grossman, Author of Waking the Witch
and Host of The Witch Wave podcast The Moon Book is the
perfect guide for working with the energy of the moon while
navigating life in the 21st Century. The best way to mix your magic
with intersectional feminism, activism, and self-awareness.--Erica
Feldman, Hauswitch Owner From the very first words of The Moon
Book, I felt a magnetism I couldn't quite describe. Luckily
Sarah's clear, simultaneously celestial and grounding guidance
through our relationship to lunar wisdom kept washing over me. And
now I can describe it: this book is a healing homecoming. It
offers both a practical and magical insight into the astronomy, the
spirituality, and even the politics of our intimate and infinite
connection to the moon, and ultimately our universe, both external
and internal.--Sarah Jones, actor/writer/performer I have a moon
phase tattoo down my spine, full to new and back again, the dark
moon right at the center. Every full moon I imagine my spine filing
with creative potential as I find a way to stand in her light.
Reading this book feels like that same kind of filling up, honoring
the cyclical nature of each of us in relationship to our generous
celestial friend of the night. Pragmatic and magical, and
everything in between.--Adrienne Maree Brown, author of Emergent
Strategy and Pleasure Activism The Moon Book brings us
into the alignment that is already within us, our inherent
worthiness, and how we can use the power of the moon to return to
it when we forget. Sarah's own connection to the sky and to herself
makes her the perfect guide for this inner work, the work that is
vulnerable and messy and in the shadows, Sarah takes our hand to
bring us into the light - both working with the changing light of
the moon itself and the changing light within us. This book is a
must for witches new and old who want to understand themselves
better in service to people they love and the collective with the
magical support of celestial waves.--Marlee Grace, author of
Getting to Center "Sarah clearly works for the moon and is here to
help us remember what we already know: that moon work is radical
work. This book is a beacon and invitation; Sarah, under the
influence of moonlight, guides us (back) into relationship with the
cycles and rhythms, the mystery and magic that support our personal
and collective healing. For those of us dedicated to dismantling
oppressive structures, within and without, it is essential that we
dream up and live into new ways of being, while also rooting into
ancient, non-appropriative practices. This luminous book, in all
its self-determinist, feminist, rigorous glory, offers a map we so
deeply need for these heartbreaking times. How I wish I had this
book when I was a queer teenage witch!"--Dori Midnight, herbalist,
teacher, witch The Moon Book offers an invitation to revel in
the magic of slowing down, listening, reflecting and attuning
ourselves to the cyclical forces that animate this planet - the
lunar phases. Guided by Sarah, we are anointed in a new way of
being, of walking in grace and vulnerability in a world designed to
capitalize on our productivity, we learn that we can flourish when
we align with the potency of the moon.--Latham Thomas, founder Mama
Glow, bestselling author of Own Your Glow
The Moon Book is a beautiful addition to the growing body of
work that elucidates the essential, enriching work of
re-incorporating the cyclical wisdom of the moon into our lives. It
is experiential and flowing, like the tides of the sea.
Gottesdiener warmly encourages everyone to discover and recover
this wisdom and she clearly links our inner work with the vital
task we face of shifting our culture into a life-sustaining
one.--
