Weather By The Moon the Virgin Mary and the Moon were based on the Moon’s physical perfection. Finding, by means of telescopes, that there were craters, mountains and other irregularities implied an unacceptable insult to the Mother of the Church. Fertility and growth had always been a mystery to early thinkers and writers, hence the Moon, also mysterious, was always thought to be the king of mystery and magic. The catalogue of its lunar powers developed by the Egyptians, had been spread by the Greeks, and then by the Romans throughout the Western world through their military expansionism. When the Roman Empire declined, the ancient writings had been saved by the Arabs, who then in turn provided the principle sources of magic for the European Renaiisance and hence for modern witchcraft. By now, the believed ability of witches to control the fate of other individuals was feared by ordinary people. They and their Moon-based knowledge were rooted out in vicious inquisitions and the proponents rounded up and tortured or drowned. Moon worship went underground, as did much old wisdom as regards the powers of human thought and emotion, climate predicting, and planting knowledge. Much remains still suppressed today. Yet two traditions centred around fertility persist. One is about childhood. A child born upon a Full Moon, it is said, will be strong, and long life will come to those born when the Moon is one day old. However, the dark of the Moon is the most unlucky time for birth. The other tradition is success in harvesting. 42
Early Moon Watchers Diana...Diana...Diana I am summoning Forty-five spirits from the west! I am summoning forty-five sprits from the east! Rains, rains, rains, Give from your wide skies, burst water upon ius! Behold our wine in your chalice, Accept our offerings to you! Send the dark clouds over us, Surround our fields with stormy rains, You who wield the thunderbolts, We call upon thee! Blessed be! Blessings be! -From the Dianic Tradition and the Rites of Life by Zsuzsanna Budapest They were the earliest of our modern astronomers and they set the foundations in place for modern science. Without Newton we would have no written physics for gravity. Without Franklin we would not have realised the electrical nature of storms. Nevertheless, Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and those who came subsequent, like Benjamin Franklin, Sir Isaac Newton, Laplace and Lamarck all called themselves astrologers. 43
