Moon Seasons

We divide the day into morning, afternoon, evening and night. 

We divide the year into spring, summer, autumn, and winter. 

 And our life also consists of 4 periods – childhood, youth, maturity, old age. 

Isn't it amazing? Everywhere we can find this number 4.

And there are 4 stages of the lunar cycle, which are also called moon seasons.

Since ancient times, people have noticed the connection of all life on earth with the Moon.

The Moon phases alternate cyclically, regularly and are clearly visible to the naked eye, so our ancestors counted time, focusing on it. 

The first calendars, created by humans, were lunar calendars.

And this was great wisdom, because people could live in harmony with the moon, plan their chores according to the peculiarities of the lunar phases.
