Be sure to put up any pics of the moon you take Paul?

Am I guessing right your a Pagan? I love the moon, its very magical. My Pagan days got me into an interest of the moon. I have a book called Moon Mysteries by Jan Brodie, its a great read.

Im also hoping for clear sky tomorrow to get a few pic's if possible .
Ive been interested in the moon and the influence it has within our lives.
Ive noticed over the years that there is a connection between the moon calendar within the month and my behaviour.


From tomorrow this is also a great time for carrying out any positive magic .

This is known as the Waning period in the Moon calendar.

Hi Julie

You probably already know this, but for those who don’t.

The moon obviously effects the water on the earth, such as the tides, our brains are mostly made up of water, so its not hard to see why madness is associated with full moons. the word ‘Lunatic’ comes from the word ‘Luna’ meaning moon. Its why the police and ambulance drivers often say people are more violent on the full moon and that they are busier because the full moon effects the waters in our brain causing people to do more erratic things. Its why werewolves are also associated with the full moon also, because many mad men and killers in the past would be more likely to strike on a full moon, giving the belief that men turned into wild animals on such nights.

The 12 monthly cycles of the moon each year are also connected to the 12 monthly womanly menstrual cycles of the year. Many Pagan fertility goddesses are symbolic of the moon, which is why they are called moon mothers, or moon goddesses, so its believed that more women get pregnant on a full moon than at any other time of the month.

There are actually 13 Lunar cycles in the year.

Actually the 13th leads you over to the new year, there are 12 and a half. I was talking about how the Pagan wheel of the year is connected and rolls over to the conjoining year from 12th month to the 1st again. But in a sense your right.

Here are the names of the 12 Pagan moons........

• January – Wolf Moon
• February – Snow Moon
• March – Worm Moon
• April – Pink Moon
• May – Flower Moon
• June – Strawberry Moon
• July – Buck or Sturgeon Moon
• August – Fruit or Barley Moon
• September – Harvest Moon
• October – Hunters Moon or Blood Moon
• November – Beaver Moon
• December – Cold or Long Nights Moon

These may differ slightly depending on what pagan tradition you are.

Are you a follower of the moon and if so what calendar do you go by.

I observe the moon and pay attention to its waxing and waning, but I don’t really follow any particular calendar, as I no longer consider myself a Pagan, as I have now turned away from labels, but I used to follow the more Celtic traditions. I am just someone who likes to study all sides of nature type spiritual beliefs.

The main reason I take notice of the moon phases, is avoiding getting a smack in the mouth from my better half at the wrong time of the month Annoy a women on her period on a full moon and you might just end up with a black eye, I learnt that the hard way

Sounds like your other half is effected the same way as myself..

Funny you should mention about your interest in the Celtic tradition
Ive spent a great deal of time reading about the Celts and their beliefs which is all around us in everyday nature ...and especially their uses of Tree and Herbs medicines..

I found it and still do quite an uplifting spiritual experience..

Its nice to know that there are others with nature type spiritual beliefs out there..
