The Origin of Lunar Legends
Throughout the ages, the moon has captivated the hearts and imaginations of many. Its glowing presence in the night sky inspired numerous legends and myths, tales of romance, transformation, and enchantment. But where did these legends begin?
Ancient civilizations, such as the Sumerians and Mayans, were among the first to document lunar movements, attributing its phases with mystical powers. In their folklore, the moon was often depicted as a goddess, watching over earth and its creatures.
