Lunar Lore

Dian’s Worshippers: Midnight revellers; so called because they return home by moonlight. Dian means the moon. – Brewer’s “Dictionary of Phrase and Fable.”

*** When the moon passes through the signs of the Zodiac Which are most peculiar to the Earth, if you then plant trees, They will be strongly rooted in the Earth; If you plant them when she passes through the signs of the Air, Then the tree so planted, will be plentiful in branches and leaves, And increases more upward then downward. ~ John Baptista Porta, “Natural Magick”, book I. • • • •

The Moon is in the Lunar Mansion Alkalb, The Scorpion’s Heart, also known as Cor Scorpionis, The Heart of the Scorpion. Marked by the fix’d Star: Antares, in Scorpius. *** … that cold animal Which with its tail doth smite amain the nations. ~Longfellow’s translation of Dante’s “Purgatorio”.”
