From Connie Kaplan:

Your research and information are invaluable and beautifully presented.

From Beth Polito:

The 13 New Moons Journal has proved to be an incredible tool for my growth! The energy of the moon combined with the focused attention of the journal seems to accelerate whatever I seed for intention, and one lunation feels like an entire year's worth of learning! It's as if as soon as I plant the seed, the universe answers, often with opportunities or challenges that allow me to learn about myself, my patterns, and what I am aligning with. I feel like I am operating at hyper-speed, yet feel held and supported the entire time! I absolutely love this journal, and I can't thank you enough, Jennifer,  for helping me to deepen my love and appreciation for myself, others, and our beloved moon. Thank you for this beautiful tool!

From Aleia O'Reilly:

The 13 New Moons Journal has provided me with such a powerful, organic way to be with my own creative process. The flexibility of writing when I am guided and able is a real 'plus' given the busy schedule I keep. Beyond the fact that I have used the journal to dig deeper into my own essence, it has helped me to launch a project that has been on the books since 2004. Another amazing feature for me is that since I began the journaling process, it feels as if time has slowed down; each cycle offering what feels to be a myriad of infinite moments of insight and joy. I now have more time for simply being. Jennifer, I can't thank you enough!

From VTara Ruscher:

Since starting to journal with 13 New Moons there have been so many connections and insights. I am grateful my friend Aleia recommended it. As a new crone the journal seems to help me feel more connected to the moon cycles since I am not bleeding any longer. Also, in the past I would have been frustrated with things not going my way or difficulties in manifesting my dreams. Now I follow the journal suggestions and timings, realizing how important it is to not only set intentions but also that some things need to be let go and composted, some acted upon, and others deepened and refined. Thus, a stronger commitment unfolds and I can now review my desires and refine my visions as well as listen, cooperate and share. This journal is a powerful tool for transformation.

From Stephanie R:

I want to let you know how helpful I've been finding 13 New Moons lunar journal. I never really had any idea how to work with the phases of the moon other than a very general conception of what the full and new moon represent, so this is very exciting and new to me. My life has been spinning so quickly for so long—I would go through great periods of activity, then long periods where I couldn't respond to anything. This system of following the moon makes so much sense. It makes me wonder how many of our personal / collective problems could be solved if everyone began honoring these cycles.

From Julie C:

I'm enjoying the 13 New Moons journal very much. It keeps me focused on what is happening in the cosmos and how I can relate to it. You have done a beautiful job presenting this to us—I am very grateful for all your efforts and for making it affordable. I am excited about following and journaling and feeling it. I feel that it is a lot of small steps and that by the end of the [current] 13 moons [cycle] I will realize just how big it is. Thank you so much.

From Tobey Crockett, PhD:

I am very fortunate to have some very special community connections that nourish my soul here on the central coast. I love that I can share this with others and I am delighted to now endorse my dear, dear friend's wonderful new venture - 13 New Moons - by Jennifer Star. It is both poetic and pragmatic and that's a rare combination.

 

Even though the website is new, the journal itself is not. I have been doing this with her for well over a year now and it is one of the greatest spiritual/creative visioning practices I have ever done - I really recommend it to you.  What I like is that it is simple, yet information rich. It connects me to a larger sense of nature in general, and certainly makes me much more aware of the cycles of the moon in particular, an awareness which is very grounding and soul satisfying. I would not give up my lunar journaling for anything and I have tried a number of methods over the years (Artist's Way, etc). This one rocks!

 

It is also a very practical method of advancing your goals to a greater arc than that which the day to day work week generally allows. This method takes you out of the mundane narrative and reminds you that you have bigger plans and aids you in advancing slowly but steadily towards where you really want to be in your life. It helps you to focus. On the spiritual side, Jennifer's lunar journal is a great way to manageably connect, every few days, with that larger cosmos which we, as children of the universe, long to be embraced by and know that we are part of, to feel our bonds to the greater cyclical rhythms of time and to relate to our own special quadrant of our precious spaceship Earth. To paraphrase Clarissa Pinkola Estes (Women Who Run With the Wolves), this is soul satisfying, creative work that touches us deeply because it operates on the level of symbolic language, and we need that in our lives. 

 

Add to this that Jennifer has also put in considerable research into really good resources, methods and added touches that come from real questing into the best of the web and the best of today's paradigm shift and I really think you have an incomparable value. I recommend this to you as one seeker to another and as a person who cares about building a better tomorrow for us all.
