How would it be different if mothers looked forward to their daughters’ first steps into womanhood with the same anticipation and excitement as they had for her very first steps toward walking? What if there was a whole community of women waiting to receive her into womanhood? What if there was a way for mothers and daughters to walk together?
With the moon as a guide and a symbol, Moon Mother, Moon Daughter introduces a whole new approach to the coming of age years, a time to strengthen the mother-daughter connection with the support of community, and celebrate female gifts and wisdom. Moon Mother, Moon Daughter is a practical and concrete guide rooted in ancient traditions and timeless wisdom.
Each of the 12 chapters uses a goddess myth as its basis. The myth is followed by an exploration of the key coming of age concepts and divine feminine qualities (ie. intuition, creativity, dreaming) found within the myth, activities and suggestions for mothers and daughters, and a list of further reading and resources. Moon Mother, Moon Daughter also offers an ideal format for women's groups and classes of all ages.
It’s never too late to come of age.
“Janet and Terri created a menu of meaning and delight. They pass on this comforting idea: Even through adolescence, you can stay close to your daughter. Hallelujah!”
"In this delightful book, we learn or remember the cultures that valued the feminine and recall the powerful goddesses from Kwan Yin to Hera, Demeter and Persephone, Tara, Artemis, Hina, the nine Muses, and of course, Gaia ... I so enjoyed the retelling of the Native American Spider Woman who taught weaving to the Navajo people and then to learn that this archetype is one of the most ancient for female power. I heartily recommend this well written guide to all mothers and daughters: it is timeless, timely, universal and personal!"
