Last night the moon hardly rose at all, just skimming the horizon, which because of its very low declination is known as a lunar standstill. This phenomenon occurs evert 18.6 years which might well be connected with the Babylonian etc., lunar cycle of 19 years (12 years of 12 lunar months, 7 years of 13).
I went out abut 11pm to take a look - it took a while to find a good vantage point. Being so low in the sky - there were wispy clouds in an otherwise clear sky with moderate light pollution. The moon appeared bigger than usual, very cheesy with a horizontal band passing directly through its midpoint - a lunar omina?
Sunday I was in Bath for the Omphalos moot and met Storm Constantine for the first time ever. The topic was truth in magick - are all systems ultimately contrived or are some more 'authentic' than others?
