I've recently taken an interest in Earth religions such as Celtic paganism and Wicca. I don't believe in any kind of god but I do be live in the wonder and power of nature.
It got me thinking about different things. I've heard before that menstrual cycles are controlled by lunar activity. The 28 day month was established by the phases of the moon, I think, so a logical link would be that it can't just be coincidence that that is the same for menstrual cycle.
I read a few articles and journals and was surprised to see that there seems to be a lot of doubt as to whether or not this phenomenon actually exists. I just took it for granted from my own experience that it does exist.
Craig gave me an interesting book that I'm going to be looking at over the holidays. Its about Celtic traditions and explains a lot of the pagan routes of our christian festivals.
I don't really like Christmas. Not being a christian , I kinda felt a bit of a fraud celebrating Christmas. I got it as a purely consumerist event, encouraging us to spend spend spend on more crap we don't really need.
However, looking into the routes of Christmas from a pagan perspective I'm beginning to get it a bit more. Mother Nature Rules OK.
More to come on my journey of discovery into the true meaning of Yule.
