9781803996608: The Quiet Moon: Pathways to an Ancient Way of Being

Synopsis

The ancient Celts lived by and worshipped the moon. While modern, digital life is often at odds with nature – rubbing against it rather than working in harmony with it – is there something to be said for embracing this ancient way of being and reconnecting to the moon’s natural calendar?

January’s Quiet Moon reflects an air of melancholy, illuminating a midwinter of quiet menace; it was the time of the Dark Days for the ancient Celts, when the natural world balanced on a knife edge. By May, the Bright Moon brings happiness as time slows, mayflies cloud and elderflowers cascade. Nature approaches her peak during a summer of short nights and bright days – this was when the ancient Celts claimed their wives and celebrated Lugnasad. With the descent into winter comes the sadness of December’s Cold Moon. Trees stand bare and creatures shiver their way to shelter as the Dark Days creep in once more and the cycle restarts.

In The Quiet Moon, Kevin Parr discovers that a year of moons has much to teach us about how to live in the world that surrounds us – and how being more in tune to the rhythms of nature, even in the cold and dark, can help ease the suffering mind.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A lyrical exploration of mental health and nature, set to the phases of the moon. The ancient Celts lived by and worshipped the moon. In a quest to find a more harmonious way of being, Kevin Parr discovers how a year of moons has much to teach us about how we live within the world that surrounds us. January's Quiet Moon reflects an air of melancholy; it is the time of the Dark Days for the ancient Celts, when the natural world balances on the edge of a knife. By May, the Bright Moon brings happiness, time slows and the mood lifts. Mayflies cloud and elderflowers cascade. With the descent into winter comes the sadness of December's Cold Moon. Yet it is the Blue Moon that surprises Kevin most as stoat packs charge, buzzards grapple and salmon leap. While modern, digital life is often at odds with nature, rubbing against it rather than working in harmony with it, Kevin explores how being more in tune to the rhythms of the world around us, even in the cold and dark, can help ease the suffering mind.
