内容説明
The moon has been an object of mystery and fascination ever since early man gazed into the night sky. It has been observed, measured, mapped, photographed and explored, but has never not lost its power to strike awe. It is associated with the tides and the weather, and with people's moods and mental states, ranging from romantic rapture to deepest insanity. Throughout the ages it has been propitiated for luck, fertility, love and prosperity, and also connected with religious rites, myth and legend. This almanac contains lunar lore, facts and information, covering such topics as lunar science and history, myths and legends, the moon's control on the rhythms of life, religious rites and traditions, moon magic - including an investigation of the moon in astrology, palmistry and Tarot - spirits, people and creatures influenced by the moon, and man's successful moon landings. The author's other books include "The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft" and "The Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experiences".
