I've read a couple other Moon books, but this one is by far the best. Why? Because Ms. Morrison (much like another of my favorite authors, Patricia Telesco) has a certain and very special way of making things simple, accessable and right to the point without talking down to the reader, getting lost in Craft mumbo-jumbo or making things harder than they really need to be as I've seen so many times by other authors. There are no lectures, power trips or mind-numbing lists of hard-to-find ingredients here; no lofty words or flowery rituals. In fact, you probably already have many of the ingredients she mentions. This book is practical, useful, wonderfully organized and chock full of Moon facts, spells, rituals and other worthy and interesting tidbits that can indeed be used every day. I found it a fast read, which is good -this way I can get right into things :) If you've been disappointed, bored or overwhelmed by other Moon Magic books, give this one a try. Simply put, this book is a pleasure to read, use and own; it's one I'm sure I'll refer to often. I'm keeing this right next to my much-loved copy of Everyday Magic and will likely be following up with her companion book, Everyday Sun Magic.

We follow the cycles of the moon whether we realize it or not. We watch the moon change from new to full and back again and maybe we are aware of some of its history or influences.

We practice our magic's by the cycles of the moon, but how many of us know the reasons? We may be aware of the moons effect on the tides and women's cycles, but do we understand the connection of the moon to weather, growth and magic?

Dorothy Morrison has put together in this book a wonderful primer that is chock full of moon lore, moon mystery and moon magic. And because of all the bits of information collected here, even the experienced practitioner will read through this book and come away scratching their head saying "I didn't know that!"

Ms. Morrison includes in this book some of the history of moon lore and moon cycles. Included are bits of 'old sayings' and superstitions as well as names of the monthly moons and what they mean. She reviews the moon phases and effects.

Ms. Morrison also discusses astrological terms referencing the moon and what they actually mean. For those who are not familiar or don't remember or are not sure, this section alone is worth the price of the book. Then she takes it a step further by explaining how these references apply in relationship to our magic and our lives. Times and cycles for ritual, magic and spells are also discussed and examined.

Empowering moon rituals filled with positive affirmations for the building of personal self esteem, which Ms. Morrison is so good at writing, are here for you to incorporate into your own ritual material. And, of course, no book by Dorothy Morrison would be complete without a whole section of her wonderful spells.

As usual, Dorothy takes all this and puts it into a book that shows you, step by step, how to work this into your everyday life, making it a practical as well as informative book.

There is so much more here that I've not included in this review because it would take pages to write about. Needless to say, Ms. Morrison has been thorough in her research. There is a table of contents to help you find what you are looking for as well as a bibliography. Add to that her easy to read format and no nonsense approach to teaching, and you have a winner here.


This is a book that should be considered when you are in the store looking for something practical, informative and just plain good to read and add to your library. boudica

What can you say when each book that Morrison writes turns out much better than the last. Apparently changing her location has had no effect on her ability to produce some of the best magickal knowlege we have nowadays. I enjoyed the read, learning much that I did not know, and had a relaxed feeling while practicing all that was within. This is the type book that really teaches pagans how to be "real" not wantabees. Give this Morrison one more gold star, she is very good.

Every time I use this spell book my spells come out perfect. I get what I want and need. I have never found a book as good as this. If you want the only spell book you would ever need and only one, get this. Her other really good one is the Sun spells.

GREAT INFO GOES A LITTLE DEEPER INTO MOON PHASES WHICH IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AND HAS SOME REALLY GOOD EASY TO PREPARE SPELLS

Very good book on all things Moon, plus I really love Ms. Morrisons style of writing. Even if you don't want to do a ritual, you will learn some pretty interesting things about the moon.

Dorothy Morrison truly is concise and precise with her teachings!A book for all..from Novices to the more learned.
Very easy to understand and apply.
I highly recommend this book to all,who desire to learn the simplfied way.Way to go Dorothy!

I recently purchased this book and I was amazed once I started reading it. I hadn't expected much because I had not been able to find many reviews, but I was absolutely blown away when I got this book! I highly recommend it to everyone. Dorothy Morrison covers so much in this book and she seems like such a "real" person. If you've read any Silver Ravenwolf books and enjoyed her humor (even if you don't like her) you will like Dorothy Morrison's humor and lightheartedness as well. Wonderful author, great book, and I can't wait to get a couple of her other books! This is the best moon book I have read so far.

I am just getting started with Morrison book as well as the Sun Magic book too. I find the moon book to be well organized and pretty easy to follow. As a novice solitary, I find her book interesting and presented with grace and love. Recommended.... so far

If you are looking for a resource on the Moon and Her properties then this is the book for you. Morrison makes moon lore and properties easily understandable and accessible in this book.

Everyday Moon Magic is broken down into two sections: the first the lore and properties, and what magical workings are best under each moon house, the other section magical workings that you can use during the moon phases.

Yes, some of the information in the first half of the book can be found online, but I personally like having a resource at my fingertips.

The second section, the spell section is a nice resource. It can help you plan esbat celebrations, or you can find a spell to help you banish, heal or bring things into your life. The great thing about the spells? A lot of the tools you need are things that you probably already have around your home. You don't need anything fancy or outrageously expensive to practice.
