Lunar Lore

When the moon rises red and appears large, with clouds,

expect rain in twelve hours.

~ Collected in R. Inwards, “Weather Lore”.

Peas and Beans Sowed upon a new Moon, and she

in good Aspect of Jupiter or Venus, from aery or

watery Signs, they never leave blooming till they

begin to wither.

~Leovitius.

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”
