The year is 1963 in small-town Summit, Kentucky, and the tomboyish Josephine Margaret Butler -- better known as Jos -- is the second oldest child in her large, poor family. Too smart for her own good, Jos, with her sister Ellie, must deal with running the household and caring for their siblings and difficult father after their mother retreats into herself following a miscarriage.

Full Moon Feast
Author: Jessica Prentice
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing
ISBN: 1603580190
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Full Moon Feast invites us to a table brimming with locally grown foods, radical wisdom, and communal nourishment. In Full Moon Feast, accomplished chef and passionate food activist Jessica Prentice champions locally grown, humanely raised, nutrient-rich foods and traditional cooking methods. The book follows the thirteen lunar cycles of an agrarian year, from the midwinter Hunger Moon and the springtime sweetness of the Sap Moon to the bounty of the Moon When Salmon Return to Earth in autumn. Each chapter includes recipes that display the richly satisfying flavors of foods tied to the ancient rhythm of the seasons. Prentice decries our modern food culture: megafarms and factories, the chemically processed ghosts of real foods in our diets, and the suffering--physical, emotional, cultural, communal, and spiritual--born of a disconnect from our food sources. She laments the system that is poisoning our bodies and our communities. But Full Moon Feast is a celebration, not a dirge. Prentice has emerged from her own early struggles with food to offer health, nourishment, and fulfillment to her readers. She recounts her relationships with local farmers alongside ancient harvest legends and methods of food preparation from indigenous cultures around the world. Combining the radical nutrition of Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions, keen agri-political acumen, and a spiritual sensibility that draws from indigenous as well as Western traditions, Full Moon Feast is a call to reconnect to our food, our land, and each other.

Moonstrology
Author: Sara Wiseman
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
I love the moon. I love its power, its mystery, the way it offers Universal connection to each of us, no matter where we are in the world or in the time passage of our lives. I love the changeable nature of the moon-the way it sways the water in our bodies and in the greater body of Gaia's oceans. There is love, there is enchantment, and when we are very still and very aware, the moon communicates wisdom. There are many extraordinary books about the cycles of the moon, which cover phases in minute detail. These are wonderful and offer great help to people who are interested in the deep study of pagan or shamanistic paths. This book is much simpler. It is designed to be a twice-monthly (and in some months, more frequent) touchstone to help you connect to the energy of the moon in its two most powerful spiritual phases-the new moon, and the full moon. As you become aware of the new and full moons in your life, and begin to work with this moon energy, you will find you becoming spiritual clear-you set intention at new moon using the influence of the sign the moon is entering, and you release at full moon, using the influence of the sign the moon is leaving. Over the course of a year, you will visit 12 (or more) signs in both the cycle of beginning and releasing, and you will have journeyed through a complete astrological cycle-physically, emotionally and spiritually.Because the moon does not inhabit the same position on the same days ever year, I have provided several moon phase calendars for the upcoming years. If you are reading this book after the last calendar listed, no problem. Simply go online and look for "moon lunar phrases" or "moon astrological phases" to determine the exact date and time of the new and full moons in upcoming years. The information is free and readily available, and will be easy to find. Finally, I've decided to present Moonstrology in the order the moon cycles normally move through a calendar year, beginning in January. For example, we often begin with a new moon in Capricorn, full moon in Cancer. This is not how it works every January, but it is the order that you will most likely experience. In cases of lunar eclipses, expanded or moon phases or solar eclipses, these also happen differently every year. I would suggest you consult the calendars, or again, research your own in later years.Finally, this book is channeled. I approach spiritual connection with the moon in the same way I do all things, which is via direct connection with the Universe: I close my eyes, breathe deeply until I am relaxed, and slip into a meditative trance state where the words flow through me onto the page. Because of the way this information is received, it is probably or even certainly different than what you will find in other books. It is my offering to you, in hopes that it will spark a new understanding and a new way of working with this marvelous Divine mystery that is the moon.
