Moon Magic

HOW TO USE THE MOON'S PHASES TO INSPIRE & INFLUENCE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS HOME LIFE & BUSINESS When do people prefer to make love? When do crimes of violence soar? When in the month are births more common, attempted suicides peak? The answer to all these questions is around the time of the full Moon. Throughout history people have been fascinated by our nearest neighbour in the solar system. It is the very mystique of the Moon with her dominance of the night skies, her changing aspects, her mysterious comings and goings, sometimes brilliant and sometimes dark, that has touched man's soul, inspired him to compose words and music, moved him to passion, exalted him to religious worship. And it is because of this continuing romance with the Moon that generations have interwoven a tapestry rich in myth and symbolism, in folklore and superstition which, transcending time, still underpins many customs that form part of the traditions of our day. Moon Magic investigates this moon phenomenon from early beliefs to the present day and parallels the old knowledge with the latest scientific findings which now prove that many of the beliefs held by our ancient ancestors have indeed a strong basis in fact. In short, this book proposes literally to throw new light on old superstitions and folklore and shows that there's a great deal more to the Moon than at first meets the eye.
