Dearest Debi, what a preciously beautiful thing to say as a young child (or at any age, for that matter). That story speaks volumes about your own deeply woven connection to nature and the universe, and drives home what a poignant role the moon has played in your life since the earliest of days.

Like yourself, I’ve been known to gaze up at the moon just about anywhere and at any time. I swear, as often as Annie stops to sniff or otherwise investigate things at ground level on our evening walks, so too do I turn my head skyward and gaze up at Luna and her many celestrial companions.

Thank you deeply. I adore penning (and taking photos for) book review posts and sincerely appreciate knowing that you enjoy them. I’ve got at least two in the works for this summer and hopefully 2 – 4, if possible, for this September – December.

Here’s to counting down the next three months and savouring the exciting lead-up to fall in the process.

Sunny hugs & joyful Summer Solstice wishes,

Thank you deeply, my dear friend. I’m happy to know that you enjoyed this look at The Moon Plus You. It really is a charming, informative, engaging take on moon magick and lunar related spirituality in general.

That is deeply interesting. I am an ardent believer in past lives and am as certain as one can possibly be that I’ve lived many myself (I have memories of some that are as vivid as anything I’ve experienced in my present lifetime). If you would ever like to chat more on this subject (and/or if you’d like some of my top book recommendations on the subject) please don’t hesitate to zip me an email anytime.

May you have a fall/winter of clear, crisp skies that allow Luna’s radiant light and love to fill your evenings all chilly season long.

Sweet Ann, it must have been extrodinarily incredible to witness the first moon landing as a youngster. By the time I was born in the mid-1980s, more than a decade had already passed since the last manned moon landing occurred. Thank you for sharing about your memory of that unforgettable event – which I’m sure was made all the more magical by your dad’s passion for that truly historical event.

It is my sincere pleasure. Many heartfelt thanks in turn for your terrific comment. Hearing from you never fails to brighten my week like the glowing full moon itself.

🖤 Autumn

My stars (and moon!) that sounds thoroughly gorgeous. I adore that you celebrated the majesty of the evening sky with sparklers.

Thank you for sharing about that beautiful evening with me. The way you described it almost made me feel as though I was there with you and your DH savouring a blissful spring night on the Island, too.

You’re sincerely welcome, my dear friend. Please don’t hesitate to let me know your thoughts on The Moon Plus You anytime if you should happen to read this delightful title as well.

Sunny hugs & the happiest of Summer Solstice wishes,

🖤 Autumn

Thank you very much for your lovely comment, sweet soul. I adore both of those things as well and have a round ceramic piece that I picked up a few years back from the garden section of the Dollar Tree in Penticton that depicts the sun and moon together. I use it often on my various altars throughout the year and when it’s not on one of those, it is displayed elsewhere in our house.

Moon magick has certain more universal elements to it for sure, but I think it is also a highly personal form of magickal connection and practice that may make it hard for some folks to connect to what is written in books about this topic.

If you should happen to give this charming + informative book a read, I hope that it resonates with you as well and would be delighted to hear your thoughts on The Moon Plus You anytime.

Sunny hugs & the sweetest of Summer Solstice/Litha wishes,

Thank you very much for your terrific comment, dear Willow. I too am happy and encouraged by the fact that we’re starting to see a gradual shift towards a greater degree of cultural appropriation awareness both in the Pagan/witchy publishing world and in the Pagan/witchy sphere in general.

Goodness (and Goddess!) knows we, as a collective whole (much like society at large) still have a long way to go there, but each positive step gets us that much closer and will hopefully help new witches or those looking to strength their practice all the more be especially mindful of what is part of a closed practice/belief system and what can respectfully be availed of by a larger percentage of people.

If you read this book at any point, please feel free to share your thoughts on it with me. I work with the moon and, accordingly, moon magick a substantial amount and have read a fair number of titles on the subject over the year, so I felt mid-spring – when the moon is once again (usually) easier for us to see here at night – felt like a great time to discuss one of them. Chances are reviews of others will follow as time rolls ever onward.

Thank you again very much, my sweet friend. It is always a wonderful joy to hear from you to read your views on books, cultural appropriation, and all other witchy/Pagan topics.

Litha season hugs & sunny blessings coming your way,

🖤 Autumn

I appreciate the depth of analysis you gave this title – thank you, Autumn!

I’ve never read a book about the spirituality around the moon, but this sounds like a good book to start with. Thanks for the comprehensive review, Autumn!
