"'Iris: Goddess of the Rainbow and Messenger of the Godds" from Irisanya Moon is a valuable tool on how to develop a relationship with the Goddess of Rainbows, Iris. With historic sources, how to work the colors of the rainbow, and how to create rituals in her mighty name, this book will open your eyes and soul to this Messenger of the Gods." -Jennifer Teixeira - Author of "Pagan Portals: Temple of the Bones; Rituals to the Goddess Hekate"

"Welcome to the beautiful world of rainbows. Irisanya leads the reader through a kaleidoscope of information to this beautiful goddess, it is a captivating read."-
Rachel Patterson - author of The Cailleach, Witchcraft into the Wilds and the Kitchen Witchcraft series

Irisanya Moon shines a bright light on the Greek goddess Iris, revealing her multi-faceted nature and importance in the world today. This book has many valuable aspects, including interpretations of her myths, a powerful meditation to encounter her, enlightening journaling activities, and a magical rainbow practice to experience the spectrum of Iris' energy. Moon's personal gnosis and accounts of her heartfelt, modern devotion are particularly illuminating, as there are few known ancient cultural practices related to Iris. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper relationship with Iris.-
Astrea Taylor, author of Intuitive Witchcraft and Air Magic

Irisanya Moon calls attention to this beautiful, oft-overlooked goddess with loving devotion, excellent research, and with step by step guidance in developing a divine relationships. Finally, the storm-swift rainbow goddess is getting the attention and honor she deserves.-
Diana Rajchel, author of Urban Magick: a Guide for the City Witch and Hex Twisting: Counter Magick Spells for the Irritated Witch

"Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow and Messenger of the Godds," is a heartfelt, insightful exploration of how this ethereal goddess can infuse your life with happiness and healing. Author Irisanya Moon guides readers to "work the rainbow," and travels through each color of Iris' prism, with activities for body and mind. Relatively little is known about this essential Greek goddess, but the author fills those gaps with her own personal experience, practices, and relationship with this swift, colorful deity of communication, color, and light.-
Debra DeAngelo, author of "The Elements of Horse Spirit--The Magical Bond Between Humans and Horses," and "Pagan Curious--A Beginner's Guide to Nature, Magic and Spirituality."

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2024
I think I’ve always had a relationship with this Goddess. Who doesn't marvel at rainbows or get giddy about spotting double rainbows? The way they pop up in my life has always brought me joy. But I didn't have much knowledge about Iris until I was deep-diving into Astrology and realized there is an asteroid named for her. Naturally, it's in my 12th house and I haven't been able to find much information about Her.

This book connected so many dots for me! Her connection to Somnos and her work as a messenger were things I was happy to get more context about. Then we get lovely journeys, rituals, and dedications to work with Iris from a high priestess! These are all excellent and I’m excited to intentionally deepen my relationship with Iris. I'm so happy I found this book! I know I will return to it often.

Highly Recommend!
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2022
The historical/mythological information covered in this book was apt. Irisanya touched on most every relevant classical source on Iris. There were the usuals like Homer, Hesiod, Ovid, et al. and contemporary classicists like Edith Hamilton. The author did her homework and it shows. All this was presented with enough depth to lend an academic legitimacy to the text yet it was balanced and accessible enough so as not to bore the reader or convolute the message. Well done.
I appreciate that the author was sincere enough to acknowledge that no on really knows how Iris would have been honored in antiquity. There is relatively little record left of how even the major Olympians would have been worshipped, much less of a “minor” character like Iris. So, most of the exercises, reflections, meditations, and such are based on the authors experiences of building her relationship with Iris. However, I found that Irisanya’s interpretation of her lived experience resonated with me in the way phenomenological truths tend to.
That isn’t to say that the suggested practices aren’t well structured (and poetic) - rather that it would be best to approach them with imagination and a sense of wonder (That’s pretty much the case with any ritual though!). While there are a few lists of correspondences and offering suggestions to help the reader get a feel for working with Iris, the author frequently includes gentle reminders to not get caught up in lists or the idea of doing it “right”.
The practices are based on attributes of the Goddess such as her speed, integrity, service, diplomacy, and her ability to travel throughout different realms and within liminal spaces. There’s a lovely framework for devotional practice based on the colors of the rainbow that I have enjoyed working with in particular.
My takeaway from working with this book has been more awareness of how I communicate with myself and others. I preordered the book when it was released last year and have read through it several times since. As a grad student, I can say that it’s been helpful to me in managing the imposter syndrome and writers block that seems to come standard with a career in academia. Working with Iris has helped me to see myself as someone with something worth saying, to understand communicating as a form of service, and to deliver my messages thoughtfully and with confidence.

A great book for Pagans and Polytheists if you are interested in learning more and working with the Goddess Iris. Highly recommended.
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022
After reading Reclaiming Witchcraft and loving it, then reading Aphrodite and loving it even more, I had to obtain a copy of Iris directly from the author as soon as it was released. I wasn't familiar with Iris, but after reading this I feel much more knowledgable and comfortable with looking more into the practices this book recommends. As always, the author's writing is clear, organized, and flowing. Highly recommend! -S
