Another theme running through the book is that of vocation, a personal calling instilled in us by a higher power, or by our higher self. Althea referred to it as the thing we’re meant to do in the world. Do you believe we each have a personal calling?
In the last line of the book, Lizzy tells her unborn daughter that she is not coming into the world to work magick, but to be the magick. What do you think she meant? What does everyday magick look like?
In one of Althea’s journal entries, she tells Lizzy that hate is always rooted in fear. Do you believe this is true? Can you give examples?
In our patriarchal society, legacy is often thought of in masculine terms. Property passed from father to son. Lineage followed through the male bloodline. But the Moon legacy is passed from mother to daughter, its traditions traced through story and the written word. In your own family, would you say it’s the men or the women who are the true guardians of your family legacy and traditions? In what ways does this manifest?
There are references throughout the book about being invisible, making ourselves small, and not bothering anyone. Can you identify with these kinds of thoughts, and if so, how and why do you think we manifest these feelings in our everyday lives?
