Book Reviews of The Moon Watcher's Companion: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Moon, and More
Book Review: Good choice
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are just looking for some simple or basic info
on the moon this book is for you. Has alot of poems
and stories of folklore on the moon (almost too much).
But, if you are wanting to get to know that big bright
light you see at night...this is the one for you.
Does not have a bunch of lingo or info that the norm
person wouldnt understand. Go for it--you won't regret!
Summary of The Moon Watcher's Companion: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Moon, and More
From the very earliest time, people have watched the moon's mysterious and fascinating nocturnal sky show with amazement and intrigue. Even in today's modern, busy world there are many of us who have taken a step back, looked upward, and wondered: What is it made of? How was it formed? What does it look like up close? In The Moon Watcher's Companion, urban shaman, writer, and teacher Donna Henes enlivens the imaginations of those who have contemplated the moon by providing poems, drawings, stories, ancient wisdom, and scientific findings from a diverse blend of people and cultures throughout the world. Bringing together a wide range of writings about the moon, from Mother Goose to Joseph Campbell, Galileo to Audre Lorde, Sappho to Black Elk, as well as providing a comprehensive encyclopedia of lunar terminology, a timeline of lunar explorations, and three sections that detail the moon's faces, phases, and known facts, author Hene has created a fascinating compendium of lunar science, myth, folklore, poetry, curious facts, and old wives' wisdom culled from cultures throughout the ages.Fairy Tales Books
