Whom the Moon Remembers
mesopotamian lunar devotion in the lineage of Nanna-SÎN
The Offerings
The reflections collected here are shaped by long-standing study; shamanic practice on sacred land; and sustained engagement with the religious, cosmological and ritual traditions of early Mesopotamia.
All offerings are presented in fulfillment of the temple keeper's vow taken at Harran, as a free-will votaress of Nanna-Sîn, to host and tend a space dedicated to ancestral remembrance under the auspices of the great luminary and keeper of time and cycles.
I. Time, Memory & Ancestral Presence
Sacred time as a secure dwelling place and mode of companionship across generations
II. Land, Gods & Cosmic Diplomacy
Ecological spiritualities as a platform for cosmic geography and divine diplomacy
III. Feminine Power, Form & Embodiment
Ancient models of the Divine Feminine as the womb of structure and regulator of power
IV. Kings, Priestesses & Structural Reality
Respectful co-rulership between masculine and feminine principles, rooted in erotic interplay
V. Eros, Devotion & Embodied Knowing
Sexual potency as a cosmic currency for the flourishing of land, humans and animals
VI. Heterodoxy, Heresy & Multiple Registers of Truth
Alternative notions of "the real" and sacred semiotics that co-habit human experience
VII. The Moon, The Heavens & the Order of Things
Methods of following — rather than imposing — the design of the cosmos on the material plane
