Sophie Bergman

The Moon and the Practice is a serious guide to lunar witchcraft for readers who want more than pretty moon language and recycled ritual advice. Sophie Bergman begins with the actual moon: phase, light, orbit, timing, visibility, tides, place, and observation. From there, she builds a grounded lunar practice that separates astronomy from symbolism, history from fantasy, and useful ritual from spiritual performance.
This book covers the full lunar cycle: new moon beginnings, waxing growth, first-quarter resistance, full moon visibility, waning release, dark moon rest, eclipses, moon water, dream work, lunar astrology, mansion timing, record keeping, and a full thirteen-lunation year of practice. It is not a book about letting the moon run your life. It is a book about learning to notice, choose, record, act, release, and return.
For practitioners who are tired of vague mysticism, The Moon and the Practice offers something steadier: lunar work with discipline, honesty, and a real sky above it.
