Moonflower: Erotic Dreaming with the Goddess

Moonflower is one of the best books I have ever read about Wicca and sensuality. My entire Wiccan family has read it and they all agree. I have several other books written by Sirona Knight and all of them are really good and worthwhile. Disregard the crazies that write reviews like silvfox (Robert Elkins)--he's a real crazy! I know about him and from what I've heard he's a real weirdo that was charging money for the information Sirona Knight put in her books. I guess business is down for him so he writes these nasty reviews that have nothing to do with Sirona Knight's books. ...so that explains why he's always putting down authors like Sirona Knight who actually write really good books. Buy this book if you can get a copy and read it. You won't be disappointed. Blessed be!

In conjunction with Greenfire is her book MoonFlower - Erotic Dreaming with the Goddess. This book follows a similar format but it explores the relationship between the Goddess and Her Consort and the esbats. Each full moon of the Wheel of the Year is defined, explained in relationship to the celtic traditions. She again chooses a Goddess and Her Consort to correspond to each full moon and explores the history and relationship between them. Again, this is a celebration of the union between the Goddess and Her Consort and we are to experience this spiritual union personally. She offers a guided journey for dreaming with each Goddess and Consort. As we immerse ourselves in this guided dream, we become part of this union, and create for ourselves a sacred joining of ourselves spiritually to the Goddess and Consort.This is well written. The guided dreaming is tastefully done and the history of the Goddess and Consort is well researched. The path of sacred sexuality is treated with respect and honor, as it should be. Well done on the part of Ms. Knight.

I love everything about this book. The cover is gorgeous, the dream journeys are sensuous, playful and erotic while being tasteful. The information included is interesting and usable and the illustrations are beautiful. A companion book to Knight's "Greenfire: Making Love With the Goddess," Moonflower stands perfectly well on its own. Using guided journeys and dreamwork, Knight takes you through the thirteen High Moons of the Gwyddonic Druid Tradition (this does not mean that this book can only be used by those on that path...). Each journey/story features a Goddess and God that ecompass the seasonal energies of that moon. Find the true meaning of "...all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals..." Pick up a copy of this book soon and allow your sensual self to manifest from dreams to reality.

"Moonflower" weaves together the spiritual, sexual, and your dreams. Flow with the Goddess and God whose seasonal energy enlivens each of the 13 lunar cycles. Within each of the guided journeys is a section on Practical Knowledge and Useful Information including; realms of dreaming and doubling out, healing, personal awareness, positive patterns, and more. Sirona Knight quotes Carl Jung, "Our unconscious existence is the real one and our conscious world is a kind of illusion, an apparent reality constructed for a specific purpose, like a dream which seems a reality as long as we are in it...Unconscious wholeness therefore seems to me the true spiritus rector of all biological and psychic events." Sirona Knight also understands the oneness of energy. "Moonflower" is a magical book that has great meaning not only for lovers but for everyone who longs to step from the illusion we call reality and into the real world of unconscious existence. It brings out the magician in you. (Reviewed by "The Tree of Life.")

Sirona Knight's "Moonflower: Erotic Dreaming with the Goddess" provides remarkable insights into the nature of nature religions. While masquerading as a lover's guide through the Moon's 13 cycles, it delivers much more than it promises. By book's end, you may discover you've not only become a better lover but a better person, since "Moonflower's" Merging and Dreaming techniques and insights are not only excellent ways to connect with your mate, but powerful techniques for connecting with the Other in whatever guise it presents itself-lover, friend, family, even the Goddess Herself. Based on Gwyddonic Druid Tradition, the book shows lovers how to connect with each other by deconditioning the habitual processes of the Mind. While no doubt effective for building a strong, sensual relationship, this process also happen to be the first step to all magical work. Sensually written and well-researched, Knight journeys through each of the thirteen cycles of the Moon. Her exploration of the erotic and magical significance of each cycle is broken down into three parts. First she introduces us to the Divine archetypes associated with the lunar month. The confusion of multiple gods and goddesses begins to dissove as Knight presents them, not as a pantheon, but as a looking glass into different aspects of a Divine duality. Just as you and your lover are different people in different circumstances, so is the Goddess and her consort, depending on whether you're looking at them from the prespective of the Wolf Moon, the Wort Moon, the Mead Mooon, etc. After introducing us to the archetypal imprints of the lunar month, a section called "Practical Knowledge and Useful Information" provides the real meat of the book, where magical beliefs and practices are discussed with rare lucidity. Along the way, Kight casually relates how Gwyddonic Druid Tradition dovetails with approaches as diverse as Jungian psychology, Native American and aboriginal belifs and even Neuro-Linguisitic Pro! gramming. Following the "Practical Knowledge and Useful Information" section, the reader intimately explores the sensual power of the thirteen Divine archetypal pairs in a "Guided Journey." Here the writing style shifts from communication to evocation as erotic story and symbolic imagery speak to the imagination rather than the intellect. I particularly liked this three-part approach. It provided continuity and a pace at which I could grasp the amazing amount of information contained in the book. But more than information, Knight offers a joyous celebration of life that is unabashedly spiritual: "The combined powers of female and male, joined together when making love, causes a vast surplus of light and energy. Making love implies you are making light. True sexual satisfaction comes as you freely give and receive this Divine light." (Reviewed by Jerry Snider, Editor of Magical Blend Magazine).
