Oh, good grief. I'll post some moon FET stuff. I'm scared because its going to open up hundreds of moon-fear threads.

FET has lots of quirks. The power of the moon is one of them.
Etymology is good. Check the meaning of moonstruck or lunatic for example.

Moonstone provides more clues.

The Romans, from about 100 A.D, used moonstone in jewelry. They believed that the stone was formed from the light of the moon.

Moonstone was very popular with the Romans, who thought it was formed out of moonlight, also used in Roman jewelry since 100 AD.



The Romans were very worried about moonlight and its harmful effects on men, believing it solidified to form ethereal rocks.

Regarding sickness, the best results are had like this.

Conclusion: Emergency urological admissions were higher on full moon days. The new moon had a calming effect

Crime is also effected by the moon.

There is a specific disease caused by moonlight

But most importantly there is much research done by FErs on this subject. If you haven't read about Ichi's moonlight experiments on plants, please follow this link.

What the Romans did or did not believe is entirely irrelevant, as I doubt even the most ardent Society members think moonstone is made from moonlight.

The "Transylvania Effect" study - interesting that you should quote this one when you don't believe in gravity, as the abstract suggests it is the gravitational pull of the moon which is the root cause, not its light.

Crime affected by the moon: yes, but again no evidence at all that it's the light level which is responsible. You'd need to compare data from cloudy full moon nights and clear full moon nights, or from the waxing and waning phases (waxing moon should show more crime than waning moon, as more people will be exposed to it due to the earlier time of night it rises in the sky.)

Moonlight disease: not caused or even triggered by moonlight, according to your link. I would also request evidence that scarring and lycanthropy can be caused by moonlight, because that's kinda unlikely in my view.

I hope this is on-topic - but I can attest personally to the validity of the warnings regarding the moon's adverse affects.

The last full moon I spent outdoors I was overcome with emotion and began ringing up old girlfriends and making an awful fool of myself.

Absent the moons harmful rays I am the pinnacle of emotional stoicism.

And when the sun came up, did you turn to stone?  ;)

So you're saying that you're more likely to pee your pants during a full moon?  ???

That's as close as I'm going to let you get to low-content posting on these fora Marko. Heed my warning.

You don't have to get so testy.  I was just trying to get your thoughts on a link that you provided concerning lunar cycles and urological distress.

The moon phases are cause by their migration.

This has yet to be proven brother Beorn.
