Praying to the moon is a symbol of consciously directing attention to a personal source of wisdom. The moon is not only a reflection of the sun, but it exerts its own energy and power through its gravitational pull, and by its cyclical nature helps us to comprehend the passage of time. "Prayers to the Moon" guides the reader on a journey of self-discovery, the map of which is determined by the reader's responses to a collection of 52 sequenced writing exercises. The exercises are designed to encourage self-observation and mindfulness and to provide practise in discerning the difference between the imposed, conditioned, robotic self and the essential self, responsive to the cycles of nature, immediate circumstances and personal vision. These exercises include writing assignments, writing meditations, field trips, "inner views", questions and quotations. Kay Leigh Hagan is also the author of "Internal Affairs" which offers exercises for deepening self-awareness through reflective writing and self-observation.

Bring this lovely creation back in print!,
By J.L. Merriman npetrie@lamar.colostate.edu (Fort Collins, Co.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prayers to the Moon: Exercises in Self-Reflection (Paperback)
Kay Hagan's book is a magnificent work, with such a wonderful variety of reflective writing exercises, and ample space to explore right in the book. I met the author at a journal conference long ago, and was introduced to parts of the book before it was published. For many years, I have used the finished product in my journal classes, as a guide for men and women who are exploring self and creativity. Unfortunately, it is now out of stock at the publisher and is not readily available. But I hold tight to my last copy and continue to write again and again, using Kay's imaginative weekly exercises as my beginning.
