From ancient times to present-day the moon was covered in mystery. Scientists and philosophers tell us that it’s all about energy and how we interact with the moon. But is this sufficient?

From history we know about many religions that use the moon cycles as something sacred. They seem to know something that we today don’t really understand.

We know that the energy of the moon comes from the Sun. It is then altered and it seems that all its properties are different.

The full moon is associated with crimes and evil activity. Many people thinks that it somehow makes people feel and become less responsible. Some claim that the police department’s crime records increase during the full moon, although it isn’t fully proven. Even the folklore tells us stories about sleep walkers and vampires that are dependent on the moon.

To see if this full moon stuff is true I’ll take you back to the ancient times to look in one religion that is alive even today. It’s called Wicca. Wiccans say that phases of the moon are important for our activity. When it’s in new moon phase we have to begin thinking and acting on our ideas and bringing them slowly to our mental level. Seeing how they can become reality.

Wiccans make rituals of creation in harmony with the moon’s cycles. They bring the new in their lives as the Goddess (linked to the moon) is born. The full moon they say is its full power. They charge themselves with that energy to help them work on every level of their being.

It is very important to know about the moon phases and what they can bring us. Vampires or new dreams, lycanthropy or brilliant ideas - it’s all energy and it’s up to us.
