The night has always had a strong seduction for me. Practically, I am allergic to sunlight so the night is relief from the sun. Emotionally, the allure is much stronger. The darkness is enveloping, mysterious, romantic. It is secretive, safe and dangerous at the same time. It allows the belief in the mystical that the sun keeps at bay. Since ancient times, the night has been the stage of whispered secrets, hidden rituals and beings. The night is female to the masculine sun, emotional rather than logical. The stars and moon across the darkened sky are coldly silent witnesses to all that the night conceals. The moon, our closest celestial body, has been worshipped, feared, loved and speculated about as long as beings have been sentient. It rules the tides and emotions. Over the years, I have collected fact, fiction, and folklore about the moon and will be posting it as time permits as a resource for all others who love the moon.
