Editorial Reviews

Product Description

You’ve probably always known that the moon’s rhythms affect the world in certain ways—the ebb and flow of the tides, women’s menstrual cycles, the most beneficial times to plant and harvest—but are you aware of its influence on virtually all the important areas of your daily life? If not, you’re not alone; this ancient body of knowledge has practically vanished from use as more and more people have migrated from agrarian to urban living. But now, in Guided by the Moon, authors Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe reintroduce this wisdom and show you how to use it to determine the timing most likely to bring you success in anything you do. In concise, easy-to-understand language, Paungger and Poppe offer tips and advice that will help you make the best decisions in everything from health, beauty, and housekeeping to nutrition, gardening, and family outings. Complete with a comprehensive lunar calendar through 2010, Guided by the Moon will be an invaluable resource for you in your quest to harness the moon’s power to live a happier, more harmonious life.

I was not absolutely sure this book was what I needed when I bought the book. I am a healer and use natural means for my work. This book has a lot of information that is helpful in that regard. It also has good information for daily living. I am still garnering the information and may have more to say as I read on...

For those who wish to LIVE naturally, within life's cycles...THIS is a book that should be read. Then, GO EXPERIENCE natural living!

I can highly recommend this book! If you believe in the power of the moon then you need to purchase this book!
This book describes how the moon influences everyday life, and gives practical advice which days are the best for health & beauty, gardening, household cleaning, etc.
For example, the lunar calendar states that you should only cut your hair on certain days of the month. I've actually practiced this for about 2 years, and had amazing, beautiful hair! I have naturally curly, long hair and it was never healthier, shinier and better when I used the advice from the lunar calendar.
This book is a major bestseller in Germany, where natural and organic living is highly regarded!
