| Man's worship of the Moon has been known since earliest recorded time - in the oldest literatures of Egypt, Babylonia, India, and China. Moon worship was founded on the belief that the phases of the moon and the growth and decline of plant, animal, and human life are related. The Egyptians, whose agriculture depended heavily on the annual overflowing of the Nile, initially used a lunar calendar. When they observed that the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, rose next to the sun every 365 days (about when the annual flooding of the Nile started) they devised a 365-day calendar that seems to have begun in 4236 B.C., the earliest recorded year in history. The moon is light in darkness, the expression of the divine in the void. It is a symbol of female/goddess energy. The star represents solar, or male energy. Together, they represent the Yin-Yang of the heavens - male and female, light and dark, chaos and order. Our Moons & Stars Band will focus your energy. Available in whole sizes from 6 to 9.
