In magic, different spells are done at different phases of the moon (or sun).
For example, if you wanted to INCREASE your wealth, you'd do your first spell
just after the New Moon and finish at the Full Moon. But if you wanted to
DECREASE or REMOVE the warts on your hand, you'd start just after the Full
Moon and finish at the New Moon. Maybe the same applies in business and other
fields of human endeavour!

It's not as unreasonable an idea as it might seem. Maybe human beings *are*
affected by the light and other energies pouring from the moon. In the days
when humans were hunter-gatherers, moonlight could sometimes be relevant,
even though humans are mainly daylight-oriented. Many women, and even some
men, say that moon phases affect their mood.

Of course, if you were in the military, New Moon would be the best time for
a night attack because the light would be minimum and the enemy would be less
likely to see you coming.

I hope that helps.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a programme to generate sunrise/sunset and moon phase
times for me to import into Outlook 2003. My timezone is GMT (London, UK)

Thanks.

There is a good program World Clock. Do not know about export but it
can even place the day/night wallpaper on your desktop.

Just curious. What do you use the Moon phases for? I know that many
people ask it but never understood what for.
Thanks.

Vadim.

Sorry, but the moon generates no energies. The light the moon "gives off"
is simply reflected sunlight and is insignificant when compared with the
energy received from the sun itself. The only effect that the moon can have
is due to the force of gravity (think "tides") and that, for a single human
being) is nearly incalculable, let along measurable.

sometimes be relevant, even though humans are mainly
daylight-oriented. Many women, and even some men, say that moon
phases affect their mood.

There's no scientific evidence of this.
