Moon Moon, Mother Moon

Lunar Lore

The Egyptians worshiped 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” *** Cut or prune trees in March or April when moon is in Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn. ~ “Old Farmer’s Almanac”, circa 1745.
