Modern Moon Living - The Beginning

I, like many women today, have observed the shift in collective consciousness about the inequality of how women are treated in our society.

My own journey began believing glass ceilings didn’t exist and knowing that I was smart and driven and thinking that would run me up a corporate ladder, satisfying all the career goals I would ever need. Then, at home, I would marry the perfect guy to have the perfect kids and live a good life.

And then, in the middle of these “campaigns”, realizing all is not as it seems.

My friends who did not fit in the mold were not treated equally at first, and then ever. And, after becoming a mother, neither was I. Both inside and outside my home. I realized that maybe I was never treated the way that I would have chosen to be treated all along. Treated with kindness and compassion, with fairness and equality, regardless of what I may have looked like on the outside.

So, after a period of severe desperation, after a lifetime of anxiety, I turned to the questions of “Why are we here?” “What is it all for?”

My journey turned out to be amazing. A lifelong student, the aggregate information collected throughout history opened seemingly endless doors and pathways, and recurring themes kept emerging. These recurrences offered tantalizing answers, seemingly just out of reach. With it also came the understanding that most of these documents were written by men.

Turning away from accepted documents, the fringe material talked of magic and the moon. Following cycles and the patterns of the earth. The enlightenment that comes with moving away from the Roman sun calendar and follow the alchemical moon one.

To realize we have all been living in our masculine energy, but not understanding that these systems were built for men. And the understanding that to be fully complete, the feminine and masculine energies need to be balanced, in all creatures, both inside and out.

This space is my authentic journey into these worlds, these words, these books, and these stories. I am not an expert, but I hope to interview thought leaders and share their words. Share my love of reading and help interpret some books that resonated with me. Share stories that I hear, including my own. All while living that modern moon life the best way I can - one moment at a time.
