Just what it says. Enjoy!
~ in the bible, the moon was made like this: Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
~in the 18th century, the Chinese believed there were 12 moons, that they were made of water, and either a liyebre or toad lived inside of it
~in Roman mythology, Selene, the moon godess, fell in pag-ibig with a mortal man, Endymion, and so she cast him in a deep sleep forever without aging, and she comes down to earth each night to halik Endymion who is sinabi to lie at Endymion on Mt. Latmus in Asia Minor
~ the word Lunatic comes from the words luna which means moon( duh, you knew that,) and tic, or struck because if you sleep under a fool moon at aperently makes you crazy
~in Cyano de Begerac, Cyrano (yeah, the dude with the big nose) is launched towards the moon with fireworks
~it's good luck to jangle change in your pockets, look at the moon, and make a wish
~Selene, Cynthia, Phoebe, Hectate and Artemis or Diana are greek/roman names for moon dietys
~it's good luck to cut you're hair/ nails during a new moon
~Artemis was in pag-ibig with Orion but killed him in a jealous rage because Aurora, goddess of the dawn was also in pag-ibig with him. She felt very guilty as soon as she did that, though, and gave him eternal life in the stars
~bow three times when you first see a new moon for luck
~look at a new moon and make a wish and it will come true in a year
~don't dig a grave during a new moon, that's bad luck
~if you have an annoying wart, blow on it nine times during a full moon and it will go away
~Beethoven wrote a song called the Moonlight Sonatalink
~the first anti-realism film ever created is called Le voyage dans la Lune directed sa pamamagitan ng George Melies link
~sailor moon-no explanation necessary
~the book Many Moons sa pamamagitan ng james Thurber is about a princess Leore who wants, the moon, and general antics ensue
~Here's a poem sa pamamagitan ng Sir Philip Sidney
"Astrophel and Stella
Sonnet XXXI
With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climb'st the skies !
How silently, and with how wan a face !
What, may it be that even in heavenly place
That busy archer his sharp arrows tries?
Sure, if that long with love-acquainted eyes
Can judge of love, thou feel'st a lover's case;
I read it in thy looks; thy languisht grace
To me that feel the like, thy state descries.
Then, even of fellowship, O Moon, tell me,
Is constant pag-ibig deemed there but want of wit?
Are beauties there as proud as here they be?
Do they above pag-ibig to be loved, and yet
Those mga manliligaw scorn whom that pag-ibig doth possess?
Do they call virtue there, ungratefulness?"
YAY!!
