We’Moon 2017
– StarDust
Lunar Calendar and Datebook
I
n our fast-paced world where technology
is becoming all-pervading and more and
more of us are removed from the planet’s
cycles and rhythms, I need reminders to
slow down, unplug, and reconnect with
nature. In a world where women silenced,
I need reminders that women are respected, valued, and powerful. In a world where we are
inundated with the profane, I need reminders of
the sacred. There are not many tangible sources or
spaces where one gets these reminders and messages, let alone has them embraced simultaneously. Therefore, what a gift We’Moon is to offer us its
trinity of ecological connectedness, women’s culture, and spiritual centeredness.
We’Moon is a lunar calendar/datebook for womyn
that offers so much within its pages. I marvel at the
abundance that it gives me each time I pick it up.
From daily lunar and astrological information in a
week-at-a-glance format to an extensive primer on
astrology basics, Sun, Moon, and Earth cycles, and
seasonal Holy Days, We’Moon brings together the

interior and exterior lives of women and our relationships with womyn-affirming spirituality, the
earth, and each other. The information on astrology is coupled with stunning artwork by womyn
artists from around the world and moving poetry,
prose and meditations. This combination of visual
imagery and text (which has been thoughtfully arranged) gives the datebook a life pulse that is profound, spiritually lush, and transformative.
The theme for We’Moon 2017 is StarDust and emanates from the Tarot’s Major Arcana card, The Star
XVII. Star imagery, energy, and magic abound and
illuminate women’s journeys, triumphs, and battles -- for wholeness, synthesis, social justice and
revolutionary change. In We’Moon 2017, women’s
voices resonate like the North Star, guiding womyn
through the harmonies and upheavals of life and
death, across space and time, and energizing us to
vaster possibilities.
Give the magic of We’Moon 2017 to yourself and
to the women in your life. This goddess-inspired
creation will remind you of the strength, beauty,
and resilience of women and women’s culture, the
planet and the sacredness of all things. It will also
reflect brightly the cosmic brilliance around us and
in us. Be a part of it!
