Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
The Whims of the Ages: The Moon the Mother of All Things; the Day of Doom and the Flight of the Gods Authored by J. M. Woolsey: Superstitions are chronic complaints, deep rooted and die hard. The moon to the ancient world never ceased to be the land of mystery from which our religious whims and witchcraft have been drawn. Everything which occurred, every sight and sound was an omen for evil or good from the crowing of the cock to the muttering of fire upon the hearth, and all the antics of sun and moon were imitated and called divine mysteries, and all the trees, plants and fruits which had any likeness or affinity were dedicated to the moon for their virtues and healing properties. Astrology arose from the belief of a connection between the heavenly bodies and the life of man and the influence of the stars on human destiny, and in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the astrologers were still in high repute. And all magic names, words, formulas, talismans and amulets but represent the talisman of the new moon, the great magician, cheat and trickster. Lunacy in ancient belief was due to the influence of the moon.
