The Wisdom of Moonlight

Diana, the virgin huntress, is the goddess of the moon, which is my favorite celestial orb.  The moon rules much of our existence, from farming to romance, from tidal activity to mental activity, cycles both internal and external.  That is one powerful reflective device.  The moon is not a star which is why it does not create its own light, it merely reflects the light of our sun which is the "star" of our solar system.  Are you confused yet?  Not to worry,  Apollo is the god of the sun and rides across the daytime sky in a chariot driven by Phaeton.  They chase Diana round and round, which is another story.  People "dance" by the light of the moon, embrace and kiss, "moon-bathe".  They eat, sleep, dream and make love by her celestial magic.  Like candle-light, moon-light is flattering, frosting everything with silver, softening lines and wrinkles, and imbuing everything it touches with its ethereal illumination and primal power.  The wisdom of moonlight is ancient and eternal and endlessly renewing.
