CARVED IVORY OR BONE CRESENT MOON TOP AND CARVED IVORY OR BONE POINT The crescent shape represents the moon, the prime symbol of the Mother goddess. Ancient societies used lunar timing for planting, sowing, reaping, and weeding. Gardeners still refer to the Old Farmers Almanac for their gardens, and the lunar rules can be applied to many aspects of life in general, such as weddings, animal management, and magical operations. The moon's timing of 28 days was generally compared to women's cycles, and the three phases of a woman's life; maiden, mother, crone. Primitive societies were usually matriarchal, and the primary deity was usually female, and their worship was usually lunar. Early Christian European women baked crescent shaped lunar cakes as offerings to the moon goddess. The French changed the names of these cakes from “crescents” to “croissants.” In the Elysian Mysteries, the moon represented the alter man. In the Druidic Mysteries, the moon was symbolized by a boat, which floating upon the waters of eternity, preserved the seeds of living creatures within its crescent like boat. |
