Tonight is the Full Moon and it's suppose to be a Super Moon. While I'm a fan of huge moons, I really believe that this moon is going to be just like all the others. The reason for this is that we were all told about the special 'moon' a couple of months ago. All blood red and everything. Well we got a white moon, nothing special happened.
That really made me feel disappointed but it also instilled me into this belief about why people get all excited, upset, about these moons. Moons, no matter who you are, play a very important role in the here and now. The Full Moon enabled hunters to hunt for food and the moon is important in Jewish tradition as the Sabbath falls on the Full Moon on Friday night. In ancient times the night was considered the beginning of the day and the daytime coming to a close was considered the end of the day.
The Jewish calender uses the moon to determine when a year begins. Christians, even though they are against moon worship, use the moon to determine when events in the Bible are going to happen. They look up to the moon as a sign of what will be happening. As a Celtic Pagan I look at the moon as separate from Celtic worship. There were no moon goddess in Celtic paganism and that was only introduced when the Romans came. I will honor the moon for the reasons that people in Africa look, and honor, the moon.
As an easy way to illuminate the darkness and help us all survive. Have a good Full Moon.
