Night has always been in the minds of people is connected with the mysterious rituals and events.Many ancient rituals carried out only at night.And the evil only at dusk creeps out of their shelters.
many magical rituals were performed and conducted at midnight.It is believed that at this time lifted the veil between the worlds and otherworldly forces are particularly strong.Another companion of the magic of the night is the moon.Some ceremonies are held solely on decreasing or growing moon, some - only the full moon.
now scientifically proven that the moon has no magical power.It's just a reflection of the sunlight.But the rituals associated with the moon, still very popular.And not only ceremonies.Some people are cut, the plants are transplanted, only consulting the lunar calendar.
can really moonlight brings something magical and incomprehensible to us?The moon does affect the life of living organisms and natural phenomena.Example - the tide.The position of the satellite relative to the earth leaves quite understandable from a scientific point of view of the track.
But why not look at the moon?This seemingly silly question to ask not stop until now.The explanations are varied.Sometimes it is so ridiculous that hair stand on end.
Some attribute this omen with werewolves and vampires.Although it is very foolish.After all, the moon is associated with werewolves only turning, but the vampires she did not have anything.Unless you gape, watching the night star, and you will attack one of these mythical creatures.
Talking about why you can not look at the moon, the children probably remember the scene from the animated film "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole."There with the help of the small moon zombie sovyat, causing them to forget about the past.They will be closer to the truth than adults with the legends about werewolves.After all, the moon really acts on living beings, not only in fairy tales.
It just so happened that all the omens and superstition often have a very interesting history of the origin.Man has always been closely connected with the nature, but to some, many phenomena were explained only by magic.In most times and lies the answer to the question of why we can not look at the moon.
fact that the lunar cycle greatly affects the vital activity of organisms, including, and the mental state of a person.At full moon, for example, more and more cases of exacerbation of mental illness.However, our ancestors did not know what caused the strangeness of this or that position of the moon in orbit.Therefore, it was thought that you can not look at the moon, or go mad.
There are, of course, in our time contraindications.I do not advise a long look at the moon through a telescope (not that you can get a small burn of the cornea, there may be a small defocusing).But the mind is not threatened, but the eyes.
Just like that dissipates legend, why not look at the moon.So enjoy the night star, it is very interesting and even useful.Within reasonable limits, of course.
