For a long time now, I have been a Moon Magick Witch. For those of you who may not know what that means, that means that I use the guidance and the Intuitive Leadings of the Moon to guide and inform my Ritual Work and SpellCraft. For myself and for my clients.
"Lunar Alchemy: Every Moon Magic to Transform Your Life," by THE Shaheen Miro, is not the usual book of Moon Magick with spells and rituals. In fact, there are very few spells and rituals.
However, there is a great deal of information about one's Inner Moon; how our Inner Moon can be just as powerful as the Moon in the sky.
For example, there are times when the Moon may be waxing from New to, say, a first quarter Moon, but my mindset and behavior may be more along the lines of a Moon that is from third quarter the Dark (in my Magickal tradition, the "Dark Moon Tides" are the three nights before the New Moon). During that time, I may feel like spending more time by myself, engaging in Meditation, Prayer, journal writing, taking naps, taking more baths, etc.
Shaheen Miro also talks about the Alchemical process, and focuses on four specific Lunar Phases: Waning Moon, New Moon, Waxing Moon, Full Moon.
He also lists recommended activities for the aforementioned Lunar Phases, journal prompts, as well as Tarot Cards that correspond to such Lunar Phases, as well as cards from his own "The Lunar Nomad Oracle." Yes, I also have his Oracle Card Deck, which I purchased because I feel it would help me get more out of reading his book.
For the record, one is not required to buy both; in fact, I had asked him about this on his Instagram page, not too long after his "Lunar Alchemy" book was published. Indeed, one can work with one OR the other, but having both makes using both a richer experience, in my not at all humble opinion.
If you are looking for yet another book of Moon Magick spells and rituals, this is NOT the book for you, but if you are looking for a book that can give you greater insight on both the Moon in the sky, as well as your own Inner Moon, then this book shall be a pleasure to read, work with and savor, time and again.
