Ann Moura's Garden -- Official Website

Through the old wooden gate you enter my secret garden where you will be able to follow a red brick walkway and meander at your own pace among the beds of herbs, flowers, shrubs, and little hidden grottoes. The Spirits of Nature, kinfolk of the woodland, smile shyly at you from beneath the foliage of an abundance of herbs and other plants. Bay, borage, comfrey, chive, garlic, marjoram, thyme, oregano, and woodruff nestle together along with their taller kin of artemisia, mugwort, motherwort, rosemary, tansy, and yarrow. The golden light of the Sun urges growth, while the silvery light of the Moon calls the Fair Ones out to dance in a Circle by the birdbath, their shimmering reflections cast fleetingly upon the shining orb of the garden?s gazing globe. In this garden, the Elementals work together for the benefit of all as Earth offers nourishment to plants, Air brings gentle breezes to spread their seeds, Fire gives Solar warmth that they grow tall, and Water moistens their roots and washes their leaves.

The Spirit of the Garden is one of tranquility and growing life, of purposefulness and awareness of the value of root, stem, leaf, and flower, and of knowing that those who visit and tend the plants are at one with them. Those who walk the path are in union with the Lady and the Lord of Nature, whose pleasure it is to see Their children grow and bear fruit. Here the cycles of Nature repeat in the endless rhythm of the Wheel of the Year, carrying the nuance of each changing season with the gentle harmony and transition of energy through Gaia's cauldron of rebirth.

At the various sites along the path there are things to see and read about my writings, my family path, my activities, and how to contact me. I have been happy to present my Craft heritage in several books, and I am delighted that the duplicate of my personal grimoire in the book, "The Grimoire For The Green Witch," is a Coalition of Visionary Resources Award winner!

I hope you enjoy your stroll through the garden, and when you have seen all you choose, come share some herbal tea with me in the Gazebo before departing. I bid you welcome to my world in which everything is alive and everything contains a portion of the Divine Spirit. My path is animistic and pantheistic, so do not be surprised to see me speak to plants and stones, to animals and trees, to the seen and the unseen. To me, all is connected and sentient, and all that is needed for communication is taking the time to do so. May the Goddess and the God bless your feet which take you on your path.

Brightest Blessings,
Ann Moura [Aoumiel]

LUNA SOL ESOTERICA

Luna Sol Esoterica is in its 3rd year, located at 311 S. Park Avenue in Sanford, FL! The store is in a 2 two-story Queen Anne style house over a 100 years old, so we have room for retail, plus space for classes, healings, and readings. Open Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm, and 11am to 6pm on Sunday, we are closed on Monday and Tuesday. The store activities, classes, festivals, events, and Sabbat Schedule are posted on the store website at www.lunasolesoterica.com

For readings with me at the store, making an appointment is highly recommended to ensure my availability. For scheduling or other inquiries, please call the store at 321-363-4883. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A NEW PHONE NUMBER.

With a knowledgeable and experienced staff, the store offers a variety of metaphysical products including our hand selected array of crystals and minerals, spheres, polished stones, and rough stones, as well as books, statuary, wands, athames, chalices, candles, oils, herbs, and other items for your altar, shrine, craft, and spiritual needs. The large front porch is a great place to relax and it is also where the vendors set up for our festivals. We have Healers, Readers, and a variety of Vendors at the festivals, and often feature something special besides.

To get to the store from I-4, exit at SR 46 toward the Historic District of Sanford. Turn south onto S. Park Ave. and look for the old fashion two-story green house with cream trim on the left. Parking is available on both sides of the wide brick street, but not in the lot next to the store -- that is a tow zone.

Dropa Skulls Azka and Zaka

DROPA SKULLS VISIT LUNA SOL ESOTERICA SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR

The Dropa (pronounced Droh' pah) Skulls return often to Luna Sol Esoterica with Shaman Jeff, so keep an eye on the store website for when they will be at the store. Their next visit is for the Imbolc Festival and Sabbat Ritual on January 28, 2012, so we will begin and end the year with the Dropa Skulls! The topaz, life-size skulls from near Tibet are dated up to 12,000 years old and are believed to part of the Legendary Skulls of 2012. With the approaching galactic event of December 21, 2012, this year is the time of spiritual cleansing and preparation for the transitions that are coming. From previous visits to the store, people who meditated in private with the skulls all reported having amazing experiences and revelations that filled them with awe and brought them some kind of personal enlightenment. The skulls are male and female, named Za-Ka and Az-Ka, meaning Integrity and Purity, and each has a distinct personality. See www.lunasolesoterica.com for more details about them and upcoming visits to the store, including for Winter Solstice, December 21, 2012!

NEW BOOK-- MANSIONS OF THE MOON FOR THE GREEN WITCH!

My latest book from Llewellyn Publications, MANSIONS OF THE MOON FOR THE GREEN WITCH, was released December 2010. This book joins my GRIMOIRE FOR THE GREEN WITCH showing how to utilize the Grimoire material in spells, charms, and much more, while also drawing upon the specialized energies of the 28 Mansions of the Moon and their Rulers while remaining true to the Witches' Rede of "Harm None."

ANN MOURA'S NEW HISTORY OF WITCHCRAFT!

The New History of Witchcraft traces the roots of the Old Religion, today called Witchcraft. Included are recent archaeological discoveries and material on the Faerie Faith of European Paganism. I will autograph and ship free in the continental United States when ordered through my store at www.lunasolesoterica.com.
