Moon Moon, Mother Moon
Lunar Lore
In saffron-colored mantle, from the tides of ocean
rose the morning to bring light to gods and men.
– Homer (c. B.C. 700).
***
When changes of the moon occur in the morning, expect rain.
– Collected in R. Inwards, “Weather Lore”.
***
The Egyptians worshipped the cat as a symbol of the moon,
not only because it is more active after sunset,
but from the dilation and contraction of its pupil,
symbolical of the waxing and waning of the night-goddess.
~Brewer, “Dictionary of Phrase & Fable”.
