Welcome to my Living Library. I’m so happy you’re here.
The Library contains artistic expressions that inspire reconnection to the feminine intelligence of the world: the part of us that feels, listens, surrenders, all while portraying layered, authentic beauty. This collection is a living archive of works that illustrate how transformation is both aesthetic and archetypal. Each artist embodies the act of alchemizing their personal life into a sacred site of evolution.
Below you’ll find curated lists of literary works, films and documentaries, and art exhibitions spanning the modern age, along with gentle suggestions for sourcing these works sustainably, whether through your local library, kindle, thriftbooks.com, and online links.
In order to inspire a deeper understanding of the historical context and themes discussed within the works, this Edition’s Living Library lists are grouped mindfully into two series: Rivers of Becoming and Portals of Transformation. Within each of the series are three subsets, divided by medium: The Oracle’s Bookshelf, Moonlight Cinema, and A Room of One’s Vision:
The Oracle’s Bookshelf is a curated collection of books by and about women who have shaped cultural consciousness through their insight, creativity, and defiance of convention. These works span biography, memoir, feminist theory, and personal reflection—offering a window into lives lived with radical self-inquiry, artistic vision, and uncompromising truth. This shelf is for the seeker who wants to listen more deeply: to the voices of foremothers, to the cycles of inner wisdom, and to the call of a life that is wholly one’s own. It's both a resource and a ritual—meant to be returned to whenever guidance is needed.
Moonlight Cinema is a curated film series designed for introspective evenings and soulful storytelling. Each selection—whether a narrative film, documentary, or biographical portrait—offers more than entertainment; it’s an invitation to slow down, witness truth, and feel deeply. The films often center artists, visionaries, and changemakers whose lives echo themes of transformation, longing, and liberation. Like watching under a quiet night sky, Moonlight Cinema is meant to be a gentle ritual—an experience that lingers, provokes reflection, and opens new windows of understanding.
A Room of One’s Vision is a living gallery of exhibitions, visual archives, and artistic legacies centered on women who reimagined space, identity, and expression through their work. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s idea that a woman needs “a room of her own” to create, this collection expands the room into a whole realm—where artists, designers, and revolutionaries claimed space not just physically, but symbolically. Whether through painting, protest, interior design, or curatorial boldness, each entry invites us to witness the ways women have shaped culture by daring to see—and be seen—differently. The list includes articles which explain the exhibitions in more detail, as well as online photos of the artworks for at-home viewing and interpreting. This collection is a visual testament to feminine legacy, reconnection to self and nature, and designing myth.
To be honest, I haven’t read every book, watched every film, or explored every exhibition in the Living Library—part of its beauty is that we get to discover many of these works together. I am always influenced by works of the past, and I love feeling connected to history. It felt only right to share my current tugs of inspiration with you, a warm and quiet reading room we can share.
There are also a few works that I am revisiting, such as a personal favorite, The Bell Jar, a book so brimming with wit that upon my first read, I wanted to jump inside of it and take a long bath. I recently watched At Eternity’s Gate and felt compelled to share its beauty with anyone who will listen. A gorgeous display of the latter portion of Van Gogh’s life so lovely that I reveled in the mysticism of the film for quite a while as the credits rolled and the background music played. I also feel compelled to share Inner Worlds Outer Worlds, as this film deeply connects to the ethos of Tiger Moon and could even stand as a required introduction to our entire mythos. I am excited to explore The Tarot Garden by Niki de Saint Phalle in greater detail, both through the thrifted textbook I purchased and the online resources listed.
I hope the Living Library is a place that you revisit throughout this season when seeking inspiration for reconnection and owning your own oracle story. I hope these works allow you to explore the interconnected qualities of the beautiful universe we have found ourselves in.
Sincerely,
Tiger Moon
