Throughout most of history, all major civilizations had lunar months and weeks, entire societies regulated their behaviors according to the phases of the moon. The idea of a "moonth" came from the measuring time from "new moon" to "new moon". Modern time-keeping has destroyed that system, although we kept old elements, perhaps just for nostalgic purposes, but it's all completely divorced from that regulating light in the night sky.

Our family observes the Holy days based on a lunar calendar, so our behavior is directly effected by the phases of the moon. While not "moon struck" or “Wild or recklessly foolish”, observing "new moons" and Holy days, might put us in a category close to "lunatic". I think everyone was (and would be) much better off, regulated by the phases of the moon. We were made to operate this way.

If only everyone were lunatics.
