About this title

Synopsis

Sisters of the Thirteen Moons: Rituals Celebrating Women's Lives is a book of thirteen rituals celebrating ordinary events in women's lives that are often minimized and trivialized in our culture. It begins with a Welcoming ritual to the girl-child and ends with a Crone celebration. Other rituals include times of leaving home, menarche, commitment, healing, grieving losses and menopause.

From the Back Cover

How can we honor significant moments in women's lives? In the course of a year, the moon goes through its ritual of change thirteen times: New Moon to Crescent to Full Moon. A pattern of change occurs in women's lives as well: Girl to Adult to Old Woman. Throughout time people have noted these changes with ritual celebrations. Our culture, however, has forgotten how to mark these developments and often minimizes their significance. Sisters of the Thirteen Moons remedies that lack with thirteen celebrations that imbue women's lives and their everyday experiences with a sense of their sacred meaning. Shared with groups or read as individual meditations, these rituals provide time of tears, laughter and profound understanding.
