During the night time we see the moon. We have been instructed to address her as our Grandmother. In her cycle, she makes her face new in harmony with other female life. Our Grandmother Moon still follows the instructions of the Creator. Within these are the natural cycles of women. She determines the arrival of children, causes the tides of the oceans and she helps us measure time. Our Grandmother Moon continues to lead us. We are grateful and express our thanksgiving.
