2018 Canadian $3 Thirteen Teachings From Grandmother Moon: Falling Leaves Moon Fine Silver Coin

Falling Leaves Moon re-awakens our spiritual energies as it fills us with awe and wonder at autumn’s fiery landscape. It’s the tenth teaching from Grandmother Moon in Anishinaabe tradition that views the moon as a living relation who makes 13 appearances throughout the year to watch over Mother Earth’s children and light their paths with her gentle wisdom. In October, the leaves turn to breathtaking shades of red, orange, yellow, and gold before falling to the ground. It’s the grandest of spectacles to honour Mother Earth, and a powerful reminder of all the miracles in creation that sustain us and all our relations such as the animals and plants. Falling Leaves Moon is a time to honour, and give thanks.

An ideal coin for someone who enjoys Indigenous art.

Design

Algonquin artist Frank Polson has created a captivating image of a full moon behind an autumn tree with only a few leaves clinging to its branches while others fall to the ground. A woman kneels to the left, her head bowed in prayer. Plumes of tobacco smoke rise from the bowl in her hands. The vibrantly coloured shapes within the woman’s silhouette are a signature design element in Anishinaabe art and represent the universal life force that animates all things. The woman’s flowing hair is symbolic of her connection to the web of life as a sacred part of creation.
