The Oracle of Luna: Meditations with the Moon Goddess , by Bridget Engels, will resonate deeply with women. Engels, a Dianic Wiccan, has written these meditations for her own personal coven.

The imagery that Engels evokes in her meditations is marvelous and beautiful. Just reading them, even without actively meditating, you can still fully experience the places she creates through all the physical senses.

There are many meditations in which Engels dictates messages from the Goddess, which is perfect for beginners wanting to connect with the Moon. Anytime animals are communed with, the encounter is less structured and time is allowed for personal lessons, which is a great learning opportunity and helps those following ready themselves for moving on to less structured meditations.

The phase of the Moon and the Goddesses can be interchangeable depending on what phase of the moon you are holding ritual or meditating in. This is a great foundation for those who are utilizing these Meditations in ritual or solo practice and is meant to open up possibilities for deeper connection with the Goddess, the Moon, and your own inner healing.

There are many opportunities to make these meditations your own as well. The way these meditations are written are going to be worthwhile to readers with more projective energy signatures, but tweaking some of the wording can easily make it more versatile. Her standard recommended length of silence is 3 minutes. That is a long time to those beginning to learn to meditate (though it always varies person to person), but you can always change that depending on the group you are working with.

Overall, I think this is a wonderful set of meditations that could be useful to anyone in the craft. It lays a wonderful foundation for beginners, and brings new imagery and light for those who are advanced in meditation.
