The womyn of MotherTongue Ink and the We’Moon Matrix have done it again! For the 22nd year, the We’Moon calendar is a delicious collection of data, art, and writing from a magnificent collection of womyn around the world. This year’s theme is the Great Mother, and within these pages She is expressed in many forms. Stories of birthing, poetry about creative process, tales of creativity and destruction and many images from a variety of media and techniques express Her in Her many forms. Beginning with the week of the full moon in December 2002, each week has astrological data, poetry or art and a visual representation of the moon as it moves through its phases. Each astrological sign has a forecast for the year and short articles are sprinkled throughout the pages on such topics as the sacred yoni, solar holy days, the Goddess in Her many forms and images of earth-art. One lovely piece is by Leah Jeannesdaughter:
“May your spiritual gestation be complete and may you, like the great mother herself, birth your own sun to illuminate your journey.”We’Moon ’03 is a loving gift of womyn’s spirituality. It is available in spiral bound, lay flat and unbound formats. For those of you who prefer wall calendars, there is the We’Moon on the Wall 2003, now in its third year of production. This calendar is a truly special creation. review by~ Lisa Mc Sherryby Mother Tongue Ink, 2002pp. 240, $15.95www.wemoon.ws
