PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FLOWER MOON – THE THIRTEEN TEACHINGS FROM GRANDMOTHER MOON – 2018 $3 1/4 oz Fine Silver Coin – Royal Canadian Mint

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.

DESIGN

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.
