Festival Of Luna August 24th

Tweet

"ON THIS DAY THE ROMAN FESTIVAL OF LUNA" WAS CELEBRATED. EARLY PEOPLE AROUND THE EARTH BELIEVED THE MOON WAS A GOD OR GODDESS. THE ROMANS WORSHIPPED THE FULL MOON GODDESS, "LUNA, "THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD LUNAR. HER NAME SIMPLY MEANS MOON. SHE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF "HYPERION" AND "THEIA. "

AS THE "GODDESS" OF THE MOON, "LUNA "IS ASSOCIATED WITH WITCHES WITH MOON MAGICK, TRANSFORMATIONS, THE PSYCHIC AND ALL THINGS FEMININE. SHE

REPRESENTS GROWING AWARENESS, THE FULFILLMENT OF LOVE, AND THE MYSTERY OF ENCHANTMENT. SHE IS OFTEN PICTURED WITH A CRESCENT MOON ON HER HEAD. SINCE SHE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE BRINGER OF LIGHT, SHE IS SHOWN CARRYING A TORCH IN HER HAND.

TO LUNA

Sister, of the first-born light,
Type of sorrowing gentleness!
Quivering mists in silv'ry dress
Float around thy features bright;
When thy gentle foot is heard,
From the day-closed caverns then
Wake the mournful ghosts of men,
I, too, wake, and each night-bird.
O'er a field of boundless span
Looks thy gaze both far and wide.
Raise me upwards to thy side!
Grant this to a raving man!
And to heights of rapture raised,
Let the knight so crafty peep
At his maiden while asleep,
Through her lattice-window glazed.
Soon the bliss of this sweet view,
Pangs by distance caused allays;
And I gather all thy rays,
And my look I sharpen too.
Round her unveil'd limbs I see
Brighter still become the glow,
And she draws me down below,
As Endymion once drew thee.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
