R. R. Ritters The Moon Goddess: Last of the Drakensberg Bushmen is a historical and cultural exploration of the final remnants of the indigenous Bushmen communities in South Africas Drakensberg region. Drawing from oral traditions, personal encounters, and anthropological insight, Ritter documents the lives, beliefs, and fading legacy of a people whose connection to nature and spiritual symbolismparticularly the moon goddess figureformed the core of their identity. The book reflects on the impact of colonial expansion, displacement, and cultural erosion, while preserving stories and rituals that might otherwise be lost. It serves as both a tribute and a lament, capturing the tension between historical record and myth, and offering readers a glimpse into a vanishing worldview rooted in harmony with the land.
