Full Moon Dreams

Before Lunaea Weatherstone observed real cats into the Mystical Cats Tarot elsewhere in this catalog, she self-published Full Moon Dreams: lunar themes and dreamlike imagery in a mystical feminine register, the moon as the deck's presiding intelligence. Self-published work from authors who later reach wide audiences carries a particular interest, the voice already formed, the distribution not yet, and Weatherstone's blend of warmth and craft is recognizably present. The full moon specifically, not the cycle, is the deck's genius loci: maximum light in darkness, the night of clarity and strangeness together, which suits a deck pitched at dreams. It reads naturally in lunar practice, full-moon rituals, dream journaling, the feminine-mystical current the era's self-publishing wave carried. It suits moon practitioners, Weatherstone's readership tracing her earlier work, collectors of self-published decks by authors who arrived, and dreamers. Cycle-completists who need all the phases have the Moon Oracle's fuller machinery nearby.
