Moon Rites

Michelle Royce (Spiraldancer) has researched ancient rites and goddess myths , created some new ones and talked to inspiring women of all ages, collecting goddess wisdom for the modern world. The result is a melting pot of ritual, myth and magic. She combines stories from modern women with traditional healing wisdom to nourish the body, mind and spirit.

Moon Rites expands on many of the themes of Shekinah Morgan's Moon Diary. Straightforward and full of practical and detailed information to encourage practice of planet love, self love and nurturing. The information and rituals are profound in their simplicity.

Presenting the aspects of the Triple Goddess -- the Maiden, Mother and Crone -- Spiraldancer examines how they relate to the three stages of womanhood: menstruation, motherhood and menopause. Her book contains rituals and myths both old and new, interviews with modern day women who are expressing Goddess energy in their lives, alternative health tips, a journal section for you to make your own notes and observations, exquisite illustrations and much more. If you are a woman,then you are a Moon Goddess and this book is for you. It's more than a book, it's a birthright!
