Moon Cycles

Moon Cycles explores the deep connection between lunar phases and religious observances across diverse faiths, blending Earth Sciences, Geography, and Religion. It reveals how lunar calendars historically shape religious holidays, fasting periods, and daily prayers.

Intriguingly, the book highlights how different faiths interpret and respond to lunar cycles, offering insights into cultural and spiritual foundations; for example, many religious traditions use lunar cycles to determine the timing of their most sacred festivals, demonstrating the moon's pervasive influence.

The book uniquely combines scientific analysis of lunar movements with ethnographic studies of religious practices, maintaining a balanced perspective while offering a rigorous commitment to factual accuracy.

Structured to first introduce lunar astronomy and calendar development, Moon Cycles then explores lunar influences in Abrahamic, Eastern, and indigenous religions, culminating in a discussion of lunar-based traditions in today's globalized world.

This approach helps foster interfaith understanding by revealing the astronomical underpinnings of varied spiritual traditions.
