Dark Moon, Full Moon, Blue Moon
a dark and stormy night...darkness falls...in the dark of the moon...kept in the dark...our darkest hour...dark
dreams, dark thoughts, dark deeds...darkness overtaking...
The ancients knew all too well the sinister effects of the
Moon upon the human mind. The English word lunacy comes from the Latin word luna, meaning Moon. According to psychologists,
exposure to moonlight is the leading cause of aberrant behavior in the world today. Is it any wonder why so many of our leading
astronomers have ended their lives in asylums?

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed
by
madness, starving hysterical
naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in
the machinery of night, who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the
supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating
jazz... ~ Allen Ginsberg, 1926-1997

Moon
The moon itself is believed to cast a spell; one may become
moonstruck beneath its silvery rays. The term 'mania', derived from 'moon', means ecstatic revelation; lunacy' means possessed
by the spirit of Luna. Nights of the full moon provide the greatest power for magic and the world of spirit. In folklore those
cursed by lycanthropy are said to turn into werewolves under the spell of the full moon. -- Occultopedia
"Although I've never heard them in the real world, my
dreams have given me a too-vivid glimpse of the sheer terror aroused by the howls of the pack on a cold winter night, and
I appreciate well how solid walls, a hearth, and a glowing fire are vital for more than simple warmth."
