Six Moon Phases

Moon celebrations that coincide with phases of moon are held where the witches perform magic to help make them spiritually developed and strong as well as protect them. The main tool used in this ritual is a knife known as “sacred blade” or “Athame” (world of Wicca, 2014).

The Moon was the wife of the Sun. It was believed that an eclipse was the result a great serpent or mountain lion trying to eat her. To frighten off the creatures, they would point their weapons at the moon and start screaming and shouting at it.

In the full moon phase the side of the moon that can be observed from earth becomes illuminated by the sun n its entirety. Lastly, the aforementioned illuminated portion begins to shrink or wane and thus the moon is considered to be in the waning gibbous phase, meaning that the illuminated portion is constricts in size or diameter every day.

The new moon is the first phase of the lunar cycle. It occurs when the Moon and Sun are lined up on the same side of the Earth so that the moon is not visible from Earth. Next, the waxing crescent moon phase is displayed whereby the Moon’s surface is less than half lit up. The word waxing means that the light side of the Moon is moving towards the full moon phase. A person viewing the Moon from the Northern Hemisphere will see a waxing moon if any portion of the left side of the Moon is dark and the right side is illuminated. If the Moon is observed on consecutive nights during the waxing phase, they will notice that the light section of the Moon is actually growing during this phase. The next phase is the first quarter moon, which is often referred to as a half-moon because half of the Moon, the right side, is illuminated. The phrase first quarter is not used to describe the shape of the Moon but is used to express that the Moon has completed a quarter of its orbit around the earth. At this point, the Sun and Moon are at a 90-degree angle in relation to the earth. Next in the moon cycle is the waxing gibbous which is characterized by more than half of the Moon being illuminated and the left portion of the Moon displaying a smaller shadow area.

The Dark Side Of The Moon is a very thematically interesting album. The album not only follows the story of a child growing into adult hood but half way through it changes into this narrative on where a person should place their values in society. In the song “Speak To Me/Breathe” there is a quote that says: “Breathe, breathe in the air. Don 't be afraid to care. Leave but don 't leave me.” From the song it seems as though an older man is talking to a child telling him to cherish his youthfulness. The part of the quote in which it says “Breath, breathe in the air,” seems as though the child has just been born into the world and the man talking is possibly his father. Then when he says “Don’t be afraid to care. Leave but don’t leave me,” makes one

There has been many anecdotes involving the lunar effect. A huge amount of anecdotes involve crimes ' that took place on the night of the full moon.

On the First Day of the Fifth Moon, denizens all around the castle were startled when the usually calm home was disrupted by loud noises and various colors of light within the sky.
