There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” It is a sad fact that there are both genetic and developmental factors that underly the condition of mestoselenophobia (fear of the full moon).
Culturally, a rejection of the moon is a patriarchal denunciation of the female spirit and the cyclical forces of nature, menstruation (ultimately from the Greek moon) being a reason for purdah in many male-controlled societies/religions. The linking of lunacy and lycanthropy to the moon, an extrapolation of period induced mood swings is another technique of female denigration.
Further to this, our divorce from nature, mother earth and her sister is compounded when babies are born under electric lighting and kept this way. Who among you has been exposed to the first full moon after your birth to release the epigenic genetic potential of our forebears? None I would guess, no instead we have witch trials and legions of basement dwelling computer troglodytes whose nocturnal cycles are wedded to artificial light instead of the beauty of sister moon.
Break these debilitating civilised chains, come dance with us under the Hunger moon and call in the spring.
