Book Overview
Travel back to an era when the moon was our only calendar, and explore all the timekeeping systems that have been held sacred ever since by peoples all over the world. From the Egyptian feast of Thoth to the Celtic fire festivals, from the Chinese lunisolar year to the lunar-based calendar of the Muslim world, Dance of the Moon will take you on a cross-cultural tour of traditions, pagan rituals, and practices throughout history that honor life's cycles. Discover the Mayan calendar as a soul evolution tool and see what it foretells about 2012. Explore the spiritual underpinnings of the Pagan Wheel of the Year alongside holy days from communities spanning several generations and thousands of miles. Learn about a wide array of deities, symbols, plants, and elements that are sacred to each month of the year. Just as the rhythms of the moon and the earth resonated long ago for our ancestors, these life-affirming cycles persist today in the rituals and festivals of the Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Taoists, Christians, and the indigenous peoples of Africa and the Americas. Reconnect with nature and dance along with life's sacred rhythms.

Study the past if you would define the future. ~Confucius Take a journey back to the past where the earth stood still. There you will find the moon was your only guide that showed you the way. It served as the first calendar that was known to mankind. Dan Furst's Dance of the Moon: Celebrating The Sacred Cycles of the Earth is an evaluation of how past practices have traveled with us to the present time. It allows us to see how events that occurred centuries ago have shaped the world in which we live in today. Dance of the Moon: Celebrating The Sacred Cycles of the Earth educates the reader to learn what rituals and festival our ancestors celebrated. It reveals fascinating in-depth details like how the Mayan calendar can be used to predict facts relevant to the year 2012. Dan Furst should be commended in writing such an informative book that unlocks secrets that can be used to predict what the future holds. Very highly recommended.
