Woven by Moonlight (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218729790)

Woven By Moonlight views the mythology of the moon through the storytelling lens of a Kohenet Priestess. Exploring fate, cycles, light, land, poetry, multiplicity, religion, science, and history, this book follows the Moon across space and time, offering rituals and tales to connect us with ancient ancestors and contemporary thinkers alike, taking us on a journey to re-affirm our relationship with our oldest origins and raise our Moon Consciousness. Woven By Moonlight is an invocation and an invitation to learn the story of the Moon and dance in its light.

Woven by Moonlight grounds itself firmly in Jewish and Ancient Near East traditions, tracing the origins of Jewish magickal traditions through the cultural histories of Ancient Near East and finding moon-based magic recorded in mythic stories from pre-patriarchal times. The ancestral mythic stories recorded in Torah also contain repositories of cultural wisdom, ritual, and magical practices, many of them connected to pre-Judaic moon mythology. This book shows the myth-based ways that moon magick has influenced Judaism and can be used in Jewish contexts by providing a conceptual framework derived from a comprehensive historical and interdisciplinary analysis. The book shows readers how to connect to the natural environment, in both story and physical experience, and to create a magickal practice rooted in these experiences. With in-depth explanations of magickal concepts and their origins, as well as multiple practical examples and applications in each section, Woven by Moonlight shows the practitioner how to find uses of magick that are connected to Judaic ancestral traditions and how to adapt magickal workings to their specific locale.
