Introduction
Following on from the previous posts this post will look at
the influence of the Moon on the raising and falling levels of sap within
trees. It became a custom of old that trees to be used in the construction of
houses and barns were felled during a new moon, avoiding the full moon.
Sap Levels in Trees and the Moon
It has been known for centuries that the sap in trees rises
when it is a full moon and drops when it is a new moon. This ancient observation
is well inline what we have come to know about the effect of the Moon, which is
that the Moon has a special influence on the waters of the Earth , whether it
be on the surface of the Earth or locked within living creatures.
It seems from all accounts that the Moon draws or pulls on
the liquids of the Earth attempting to draw them ever so closer to it. This
effect of the Moon on the liquids of the Earth reaches it maximum during the
full moon and reaches its minimum during new moon.
Hard Wood or Soft Wood
Whether a log of timber turns out be hard or soft in greatly
dependent on the level of sap in the tree when it was cut. If there was a lot
of sap in the tree’s branches the resulting wood will turn out soft and if
there was little sap in the capillaries of the tree the wood will turn out
hard.
Had wood for construction is much better and so trees that
were going to be used for heavy construction type work were cut on a full moon’s
night and day.
Softwood may be used for other purposes but definitely not
for construction.
Conclusion
This is another proof or example of the Moon’s influence of
the waters of the Earth.
