About the author
Hearth Moon Rising is the author of two Moon Books titles centered on animal-focused pagan practice, Invoking Animal Magic and Divining with Animal Guides: Answers from the World at Hand. Rather than offering generic lists of animal symbolism, both books work through individual animals in depth, drawing on folklore, mythology, and observed animal behavior to build a modern pagan approach to working with animal allies and reading animal encounters as signs. Divining with Animal Guides gives extended treatment to nine animals while touching on many more, and pairs written material with imagery drawn from cave art and archaeological artifacts. Hearth Moon Rising writes for practitioners already engaged with nature-based paganism who want a more grounded, behavior-informed alternative to conventional 'spirit animal' guidebooks, treating animal divination as a practice learned through observation rather than memorized meanings.
