Summary of demetra george's mysteries of the dark moon

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The secret of the moon's dark phase is to be found in the mythical, psychological, and spiritual symbolism of the lunar darkness. The moon, with its repeating cycles of waxing and waning, reflects the same fluctuations of increase and decrease that take place in the human body and in the psyche. #2 The dark phase of a cycle is when it transitions from the death of the old to the birth of the new. It is a time of retreat, healing, and dreaming the future. However, we have many negative associations with the concept of the dark, which leads us to fear it and its contents. #3 The dark phase of the cyclical process is a phase of healing and renewal, not fear and unknowing. It is a time of mystery, wisdom, and healing power, all gifts of the Dark Moon Goddess. #4 The moon revolves around the earth every twenty-nine days. Each month, the moon unfolds from the sliver of the waxing crescent moon, increasing in light until it is totally illuminated at the full moon. Then, as the moon wanes, she decreases in light until she becomes invisible.
