Moon from Many Perspectives

Some of the Many Perspectives

There are many perspectives from which we can view the Moon. There is the scientific perspective, there is the romantic, poetic, artistic perspective, there is the cultural perspective, there is the anthropological perspective, there is the perspective from folk lore (who has a special branch devoted to all things lunar called ‘moon lore’) and finally there is the esoteric perspective, which encompasses themes of an esoteric and psychological nature.

Many Moons

There are really many Moons, that is there are as many Moons as there are cultures, as each culture has their particular way of viewing the Moon.

To Study the Moon is in Some Way to Study Ourselves

There is an interesting point developing here, which is to say: that by studying the Moon we are studying ourselves. By studying the moon we are at the same time studying aspects of our cultures, myths, symbology’s, concepts, beliefs, knowledge and science.

A Note on the Esoteric Perspective

The esoteric perspective of the Moon is essentially the view of the Moon from the psychological, astrological, mystical and spiritual point of view.

The esoteric view also studies some of the aspects that are present in the conventional scientific viewpoint of the Moon and agrees with them as it must, according to the principle or axiom: “that was is not physical is not physical”.

Please note, the conventional scientific point of view essentially presents the study of the Moon from a very physical, mathematical and analytical perspective.
