Spirit Moon

1st coin of the series The Thirteen Teachings From Grandmother Moon.

Grandmother Moon is always ready to share her loving wisdom, and this captivating coin series brings you her life teachings with 13 original woodland designs. Canada’s Indigenous people view every aspect of nature as a living relation that plays an active role in their lives. And although variations do exist due to geography and climate, Grandmother Moon is a central figure, her kind and gentle ways always a common thread.

For the Anishnabe people, the woodland cultures that extend from the eastern seaboard to the Great Lakes, and the headwaters of the Mackenzie River, Grandmother Moon is ever-present, making 13 appearances throughout the year as she watches over Mother Earth’s children and lights up their paths. Every moon brings a new teaching that is illustrated in each coin design to foster understanding and respect for all of Earth’s creatures—a stunning work of art with a unique insight into Indigenous life!
Every moon brings a new teaching, and this coin illustrates how Spirit Moon is a time to honour the stillness and reflect upon our place within creation. Our thoughts turn to the eagle, the messenger that carries our prayers to the Creator. As our spirituality grows, so does our respect for this powerful bird. Those who have earned the honour may wear a headdress as they pray, and we give thanks whenever the eagle shows itself—healing and support are on the way!

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