Flower Moon puts nature’s life-giving energy on full display, and reminds us that we too, are part of this sacred web of life. It’s the fifth teaching from Grandmother Moon who makes 13 appearances throughout the year as she watches over Mother Earth’s children and lights their paths with her gentle wisdom.
In May, fresh new plants emerge from the ground, and buds appear on branches that seemed barren just days before. This hidden force is one of the most powerful healing medicines on Earth—a realm that cannot be seen, but is certainly there. It animates all things, and breathes life into us. Once we recognize our spiritual essence, we begin to treat ourselves and all of our relations with the same reverence as the one Source where all life originates. 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. Indigenous people of Canada 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 Anishinaabe 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!
Algonquin artist Frank Polson has created a captivating image of a full moon filling the sky as it sits low on the horizon behind a tree whose bare branches are dotted with the vivid green of new growth. A detail of a springtime flower is on the left, its vibrant colours showcasing the life-giving powers that animate all of nature. The use of bold lines, and the insertion of vivid colour within black areas as if to reveal what lies within, is a signature design element in woodland art.
