Moon Magic: Your Complete Guide to Harnessing the Mystical Energy of the Moon by Diane Ahlquist
4.0
I'm not sure how to rate this.
On the one hand, I want to give it a high rating because it had a lot of information I didn't expect, and that was great! On the other hand, some of that information may seem like fluff to others that buy this book expecting more on Moon Magic, as that is what it is advertised as.
But, I can only rate after my own experience, and so it will be a high rating.
I am not a practitioner. I light a candle on the Sabbaths and I try to do no harm, but I do not practice rituals or magic. That said, I want to know a lot about it, and maybe someday start to practice. Right now, I can't prioritize spirituality over my health, but maybe someday. That is why I bought this book.
And so, to the book.
As you may have guessed from the disclaimer up top, I really liked this book. It easily explain the different phases of the moon and how it affects both the body, our earth, and possible magics. It explains how to tap into this magic both for the serious practitioner and for those that don't have as much energy to give - even with my health as it is, there are things in this book I want to try, and think I can try!
It goes into details on how to follow the moon in everyday life, for gardening, healing, and many other aspects of life. It was all really interesting.
Be warned, though, there are a lot of information that the everyday man knows about the moon already, so if you have studied the moon before, this book may be a tad to basic for you.
Then came the part that confused me, but also bumped the rating up a whole star.
There was information on tea-leaf/coffee ground reading! And other divination practices that are affected by the moon! I loved this little surprise!
Combine that with all the information on how to actually make your own herb garden by the phase of the moon, and this book gave me way more information than I expected, and information I've wanted to know for a while at that!
I am strongly considering buying this authors other book, if only to have some light, interesting reading in the future, as well as give this book a reread.
