Steve Moore: SELENE Limited Edition
1st 2019 365pp Strange Attractor. Black boards with design and titling foiled in silver. Near fine in near fine dustwrapper.
Ltd. ed. 300 copies. The Moon goddess and the cave oracle.
A deeply erudite and meticulously researched survey, this book explores the perennial curiosity our closest orbital neighbor continues to instill, providing at once an unprecedented body of historical research and a critical armature for the author’s lauded prose reverie Somnium. Despite the importance of the Moon to recent developments in esoteric scholarship and mythography, Selene doesn’t attempt to present a “Moon-Goddess for the twenty-first century,” but rather looks at the myths of one specific Moon goddess and how she appeared to the original creators of those myths in the literature of ancient Greece. With a foreword by Bob Rickard and an afterword by Alan Moore.
