| It's a scientific fact that the moon
affects the tides, the plant world and our moods. As a Libra
woman, I revel in the moon's beauty,reading poetry inspired
by 'Luna' and in discovering folkloric lunar knowledge in
relation to various cultural practices. Hence, all the research
and reading on the subject. It's an ongoing interest of mine.If
you'll indulge me, I will share some interesting lunar lore,
links and writings here on these pages as I find them.
As a gardener,wild crafter and herbalist,
it is immensely important to me to try to understand and
utilize the cosmic rhythms as they relate to planting,
harvest and medicine making. This can not be wholly obtained
by intellectual pursuit.It must be understood by becoming
part of the subtle, unseen rhythms as experienced in the
natural world. Whether by planting on our knees in the
cool damp earth,feeling the sun kiss our shoulders as we
bring in the harvest or by pruning back a dying plant at
the end of the growing season, it is important to LIVE
these cycles; witnessed week by week, season by season,
year by year. Perhaps these calendars will help inspire
you to begin just such a quest....
