I’m always inspired and find I create my best work under the full moon. The only “madness” I associate it with is creative. Do you know where the word “lunatic” comes from?

“Madness or Mysticism” was the name of my thesis in college. There are usually 13 full moons in a year. In days of yore when we lived by nature’s moonlight and sunlight rather than electricity, women had 13 mensus in a year – all at the same time during the full moon.

Indian women, for example, would spend this “sacred” time together on the mountain, under the full moon. They were said to be in their highest psychic power. Then…they would guide the men as to what was needed for the weather, hunts, medicines etc.

Later, patriarchy said “No!” and forbid these psychic gatherings. In fact what had been an intuitive sacred service became known as “witchcraft!” Women would be burned at the stake. And, as you have undoubtedly noticed….13 became the unlucky number. Thirteen lunar cycles, thirteen periods were equated with werewolves and spells. Mental institutions were actually called Looney Bins.

Imagine anything as beautiful as the moon, as stars, being considered dangerous. Boo!
And boo hoo.

I would like to honor women who remain undaunted, loving, and giving. Each Full Moon I am presenting a Full Moon Award. The creation will honor a woman I consider to be a moonful of Love in the world, sharing light.

Here is the first to Oprah Winfrey:

Prosperity

The night ocean is filled with stars
That only the moon can display.

We cannot put them in our savings account
Or patent them, or buy them, or own them.

Yet they are ours–always.

…from my book Prosperity Is Free.

Everything is beautiful, under the full moon!
