Description: | Kookoom La Leun is a prayer song for Grandmother Moon. It came to Andrea as an outpouring of love to the Full Moon one night. It is her way to honour and thank Grandmother Moon for her many blessings. It was written to hold medicine for all of Grandmother Moon’s phases, but is especially powerful on New Moon and Full Moon nights. Sing it as a gratitude song.
