There is no darkside of the moon really...matter of fact it's all dark

And why did they place parson's peak on the dark side anyways??

So, here we are once again with yet another card to analyze.This project has gone slower than anticipated, I apollogize, but who new armageddon would begin now??

So...THE MOON.
What does it mean to you,besides nightmares,hallucinations and insanity??

Glad your still here...

The magic mirror! Illusions make truths manifest. The crystal of creativity, whole and unshattered. Trouble; suspicion. Nothing is what it seems. The things you hide from yourself. The depths you daren't plumb.

This card always gives me the creeps- but in a good way.

I'm in bed but I can't sleep. I can see the moon through my window, full, shining. It wants me to get up. It wants me to run amok. Night is no time for sleeping. All the dogs are awake, howling.

So I go outside. The world is bathed in moonlight. It is alien, its not sleeping either. Strange magic is in the air, breathing through the trees.

Get me to a party, feed me weird drugs before I go insane. Lunacy. Loon. It doesn't make any sense but its a lot of fun. Run amok.

I second the Magic Mirror, as a matter of fact, in the Voodoo Tarot that's the name of the 18th major: "Magick Mirror".

Magic, the presence of multiple worlds, connections with others through the moon, truth reflected on the moon's surface. Illumination by darkness, agent of divine justice. Mental, emotional, and spiritual shapeshifting.

Face your reflection.

The Moon: OK, wise guy... I'll show you mine. You ready?

(This is spoken, of course, by the High Priestess, who is in some way before the gates of the Moon, guarding those two towers.)

The Moon makes a sound that's so quiet,only certain animals can hear it.It's gravity pulls minutely at every particle on the surface of The Earth.At the lowest frequencies,among resonant forms,like a quantum tuning fork,The Whole World Howls.
It brings strange dreams,because on a subconscious level,we too can detect the gravitational forces of the Moon.The Song of the Spheres,The buddhist's 'gong',The ringing in your ears.The impermanent nightlight.The sound unheard.Earths guardian Angel.Two fighting forms,and the illusion of permanence.One day,all Moons must fall,a new Ice Age forms,the last streams flow from the Wolves that cry for ten thousand years.
Strange events,travelling at night.The doorway into Faery.The Woods.The Watcher.
From Ask Jeeves.com:
'Fact:Wolves don't howl at the
moon. Since a night with
a full moon is favorable
for hunting and other
activities, wolves are
more likely to be heard
howling.'
And the band played,'believe it if you like'

What's so funny???
The milky way?
The cow jumped over the moon?
Consider: The genesis story. God curses the serpent above all cattle.During the first destruction of earth(?), humanity was saved by being placed in a block of salt (the salt of the earth?) and then consumed by a cow(ahudamma or sumthin).The first letter of the rune system is F which means cow.Atom heart mother. What if a cow had wings??Why is the cow sacred? Why drink milk?
Oh wait...this is about the moon card.
Wrong forum. er disregard that last rant...

Ever notice though, since we are on the genesis topic (er) that the story of cain and abel could be (cain+abel) cannibal???

Now laugh...
...i guess it is funny.

BTW...
I am thinking of adding to the tarot threads a little something unique that I hope you all will like.
Idea:How about a song dedicated to each card to help achieve the gnosis for the trump?i.e. Running with the devil for the devil card... you know what I mean?
So...if you people can think of a song to go with each card, and then go back to the thread and post it, it would be verrrrrry cool.
I know you want to.
Always thinking.

Maybe it's just me but I get a London/ Princess Diana vibe off this card when casually looked upon. Not that I obsess on her, but if I notice the moon card it pos into my head.I also get that 666 vibe.
Ah...the rantings of a lunatic...
on the grass.

size is obsolete. Perspective defines importance. There's always another alternative to here... deny- move on. deny- move on. deny- move on. accept. This is right, but stars in the heavens it took a long time to get here.
The keyhole is more important than the door. Access is through the permiable.

This card makes me tired.

Hello.

Luan Duhn (sp?), O Zenly one.

Actually I knew all that city of the moon shite B4 I'd even heard of the Invisibles.

And I claim my five pounds.

Distant gravity that can be felt, but is often ignored.

It's time to pull your thoughts out of yourself and pay attention. There are powerful forces that play a great role in your life, yet have no personal knowledge or interest in you. There's a man in the moon who will never know who you are.

Light in the night, the shadows of trees and houses dimly light as the ground glows beneath you. Fear diminishes and we can see farther in the dark. A better time to travel on dangerous roads.

Madness may come as the pull of the tides grabs your brain. Is it high tide or low tide for your sanity? Which is better for you?
