Lunar Lore

The Romans believed that the mind was affected by the moon,
and that “lunatics” were more and more frenzied
as the moon increased to its full.
– Brewer, “Dictionary of Phrase & Fable”.
***
… it happens that the moon appears
More swiftly to return to any sign
Along the Zodiac, than doth the sun …
~Lucretius, De rerum natura (On the Nature of Things).

Marked by the fix’d Stars: Regulus & the Sickle, in Leo.
***
My emblem is the Lion, and I breathe
The breath of Libyan deserts o’er the land;
My sickle as a sabre I unsheathe,
And bent before me the pale harvests stand.
~ Longfellow, “Poet’s Calendar” for July

Lunar Lore

The moon appearing larger at sunset, and not dim but
luminous, portends fair weather for several days.
~ Francis Bacon, “Historia Ventorum”.
***
From New Moon to the Full, the humidity and moisture
of bodies doth increase; but from the Full to the New Moon,
it descreaseth.
– Ptolemy.
***
But how many months be in the year?
There are thirteen, I say;
The midsummer moon is the merryest of all
Next to the merry month of May.
– “Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar.”
