Sub-titled 'A Year of Ritual and Healing Under the Light of the Full Moon.' When the full moon rises in the night sky, it's hard not to be captivated by the light that streams down on earth from our closest celestial neighbour. Even in the modern age, drenched in artificial light, the full moon has a magic that speaks to our most primal selves. This magic was recognised throughout human history, and lives on in the names various cultures have given each full moon as it rises above us. The Full Moon Yearbook combines Native American culture, Medieval Celtic Culture, East Asian culture and Witchcraft to dive into the stories that have led to names like February's Budding Moon, or November's Frost Moon. Over 13 chapters, the names and mythology associated with each full moon are explored, as well as corresponding crystals, rituals, and yoga practices to make engaging with the energy of the full moon natural and fun. The 13th chapter is dedicated to the Blue moon, along with its even more elusive friend, the Black Moon. Alongside the folk names, it highlights some of the goddesses that have been dedicated to, or personified, the moon in ancient religions, bringing their stories to life. With the international perspective, lunar festivals and customs from around the world and practical makes and recipes to help celebrate the full moon are included in this illustrated guide, showing how important the full moon has been throughout history to humankind. Stunning colour illustrations throughout for each month including January's Wolf Moon, March's Worm Moon, April's Awakening Moon, May's Flower Moon, June's Strawberry Moon, September's Harvest Moon, October's Hunter's Moon and December's Long Night Moon. 144pp, colour. Paperback, 236 x 194mm.
