Statement:
Throughout recorded history, the rhythm of lunar cycles has been a key guidepost for humankind. Whether new, waxing, waning, or full, the Moon's presence has profound effects upon the Earth and its inhabitants. Whether we choose to honor her or not, she quietly influences our tides, moods, and sleep patterns.
