A New Perspective

I always look at the moon. My mother's family was from Transylvania and my "Moon" sign is in Cancer. But, after reading the Moon, I will never look at the moon quite the same. Maryann Sachs has given me a new perspective on and appreciation for cultural mysticism and empiricism. The book is so artfully crafted it borders on the sacred.
