Strawberry Moon

6th coin of the series The Thirteen Teachings From Grandmother Moon.

Strawberry Moon brings the first succulent berries of the year, and teaches us peace and reconciliation. It’s the sixth teaching from Grandmother Moon in Anishinaabe tradition that views the moon as a living relation who makes 13 appearances throughout the year as she watches over Mother Earth’s children and lights their paths with her gentle wisdom.

In June, strawberries are the focus of annual feasts in which people offer each other berries to eat, and symbolically resolve any differences they may have had during the winter. Often called the “heart berry,” the strawberry’s runners illustrate how the heart is connected to all parts of the body. The heart is essential to our spiritual balance, and guides us in making heartfelt decisions that honour all things and preserve the harmonious interdependence that is critical to life.

This coin is the sixth issue of Thirteen Teachings from Grandmother Moon collection. A total of 13 coins will be released, one each month in 2018 and two in December.
