Hello dear Hive community, as always I wish you a good day and hope you are well and made some great experiences! Tonight the weather played along and I had a good opportunity to take pictures of the current Crescent Moon.
Next full moon is on 05. May and I will also use the opportunity to take new pictures. The coming full moon is also called flower moon and is associated with the growth of nature. Back to the crescent moon, I was also able to learn something interesting new about mythology and would also like to include this in my post.
In pretty much every culture there are their own moon deities and I have already wrote about it in my last posts about the moon. In a tribe of the native Americans Lakota, it is Hanwi who was revered as the moon goddess. For the ancient Aztecs, it was the goddess Coyolxauhqui and there is also a a male counterpart called Tecciztecatl.
There is also something interesting to know from the ancient teaching of the runes about the moon, it is the Rune Jera, which is connected to the moon phases. The Walpurgis Night, which is revered as the magical festival of witches, is also connected to the moon and it goes back to Celtic mythology and is connected to Beltane, which is considered the beginning of the new Celtic year.
Many thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my new post! I used my camera Sony Alpha 6000 and Sony SEL-55210 Telephoto Zoom Lens (55-210mm) to take these pictures.
