Have you ever heard of a Moth-er? Yes, it is the moth equivalent of a birder – someone who loves and follows and studies the incredible diversity of moths.
Creatures whose lives benefit ours and yet take place primarily under the cover of the dark of night.
In this week of the Summer Solstice, in our seasonal period of longest days and shortest nights in the Northern Hemisphere, we pause to consider and revel in the importance—the life-nurturing, life-giving, and restorative magic of the dark.

Leigh Ann Henion is the author of Night Magic, Adventures among Glowworms, Moon Gardens and other Marvels of the Dark – a beautiful road map for all of us in better knowing and appreciating the greater fullness of the lives of our places – especially those lives that bloom, grow, and come out at night. Listen in and enjoy!
