Full Moon

[hope]

Full moon tonight 25th November

The full moon names date back to the American native Indians, the tribes from a few hundred years ago kept track
of the seasons by giving names to each of the 12 full moons of the year.. The November full moon was named
beaver,this was the time of the the year when beavers were most active & traps were set to catch them so to make warm clothing from the fur , for clothes for the winter months, it was also known as 'the frosty moon' ,
It is thought that around the time a full moon as effects people's mood, good or bad?
A place in Switzerland held a test to see if this was trial, they found that some peoples sleep was more disturbed around
this time,it could just be that the rooms were brighter, but some people showed signs of lunacy,
Moon 13-15-15-14/ 4-6-6-5 =3
Mono,one moon 13-15-14-15/4-6-5-6 =3. 333=9
Luna 12-21-14-1/ 3-3-5-1 =3

Greek goddess Hekate,often shown in triple form(3) holding 2 torches,was known as one of the gods of Wicca....
Moon worship is not only mentioned I Wicca though,it seems to be worshipped by nearly many cultures in parts
Of the world,religious celebrations are linked to her,India has an abundance of gods & dieties ,with festivals celebrated
At the time of the full moon, China has a spring festival 'moon festival' when the moon is at its brightest.
Luna,moon & Wicca are all number 3's.

In Greek mythology Selene goddess of the moon,the Roman equivalent was Luna.

The moon is an incredible & vital part of living,it regulates the tides,creates moisture in the soil for agriculture,farmers
Plan their planting times according to the moons cycle, but of course it's main purpose is the rotation of of the earth,
Without it we would have shorter days,less light & an effect to tides.

I hope everyone gets a good nights sleep & doesn't go mad tonight .

One irrefutable truth is the old adage, “Time and tide waits for no one”.

The relevance to this forum thread, “Good Afternoon Hope by the way,” is that the tides are ruled by the moon. That silvery orb represented by the goddess Elatha as far as our Irish forebears were concerned; for that being the site founder and I. Anyway, galloping right along on a swift-traded horse!

Also, another day another tangent, being born under the sign of Cancer the Crab, I too am equally governed by the moon. When it is full, while I don’t suffer the unnatural hair growth, my moods are definitely what one might term tidal.

Map of the Moon made by Johannes Hevelius in 1645

Turning tidal once more: There are two high tides and two low tides in every 24 hour period, with the lunar cycle taking 29.5 days to return to the point of origin on the celestial sphere when referenced to the Sun this is due to the motion of the Earth around the Sun; this is known a synodic month (Lunar phases when observed from Earth are equated to the synodic month).

Each day the tides, which also have an influence of mood I found, swell into action 50 minutes later than on the day immediately before.

Living by the sea “for some time”, as Captain Oates partly uttered when he left his Antarctic hut and stepped into a blizzard for the last time, I became well acquainted with the ever changing tides, indeed they and the wave height were listed in the daily newspaper. Therefore, by default I acquired a positive creel full of ancient mariner knowledge, these days I look the part. At the time I dwelt in a port city, 23.5 degrees north as the globe goes and 2,800 kilometres (1,740 miles) from the Equator. Consider this a mathematical/navigational question perhaps, whip out those charts, dividers and compasses (both types of the latter equipment should you care to)?

When the moon is full, then two weeks later as a new moon appears, the gravitational pull due to the moon, earth and sun all being aligned results in a much higher and much lower tide respectively. These especially strong tides are known as Spring tides are especially strong tides (the term does not have any connection with spring the season, but relates to the old English word ‘springan’ - to well up). If the sun and moon are not aligned, then the gravitational forces offset each other and tides are far less dramatic in terms of highs and lows; in this state they are referred to as neap tides.

The Bay of Fundy in Canada records the great range between its high and low spring tides at almost 16 metres (52.5 feet), while Avonmouth in the Bristol Channel, United Kingdom comes a close second with a spread of over 15 metres.

To what would you define Lunacy as?
