blood-relations-copy”Imagine a time when women lived together, worked together, sang and danced together, and our lives, work rhythms, songs and dance rhythms were all governed by the cycles of the moon. Imagine a time when all our skins were dark, Europeans having newly arrived from Africa. Imagine a time when women had the power and solidarity to make men leave their warm hearth-sides, go out into the howling wastes of Ice Age Europe to hunt giant and ferocious mammoths and then transport their kills proudly back to the women’s camp.

How long has it been since you looked at the sky for as much as five minutes? If you are like most people living in the Western World, you have not done so for a long time. Most of us stop looking at the sky, except to see if it is going to rain, about the time we enter grade ten in school. If parents have allowed one unlimited access to television or computers one may never have spent any time at all looking at the sky. Yet, when you do look at the sky you will notice an amazing thing. The sky is larger than the earth. It seems infinite. One may look into the sky forever and never find a place where it stops. It is not surprising that our ancestors of the dawn times saw the sky as a place of endless wonder and mystery. The greatest wonder is that we do not.

Imagine a breathtaking sculpture that combines cutting edge design and technology with an ancient knowledge of the Earth’s natural rhythms.
A monumental timepiece for the planet, a beacon for a sustainable future, reconnecting people with the Moon and tides.
Aluna is a unique proposal for the world’s first tidal powered Moon Clock. It will change the way we consider time and understand our planet.

Your Place in the Universe – How the World Relates to You and How You Relate to the World
When it comes to human reproduction there is some confusion as to the specific processes that take place and why such processes occur. In order to clear a few things up, Illinois State University graduate and one of our correspondents, Ariele Jones discusses with Professor Tak Cheung the phenomenon of the menstrual cycle, the estrous cycle, and how these cycles relate to the youngest mother in medical history.

Through the ages, the moon has intrigued cultures all over the world, giving rise to numerous forms of folklore about its nature and its functions. It wasn’t until 400 years ago, through Galileo and his telescopes, that we began to get descriptions based on actual observations of its surface. Last Monday, July 20, we marked the 40th anniversary of the first time humans reached the moon for a first hand look at the moon, or at least a tiny portion of it.
“A small step for man, a giant leap for mankind,” intoned American astronaut Neil Armstrong as he set foot on the moon. Alas, that trip had been spurred more by the Cold War and the Americans’ need to beat Russia in space explorations, rather than by science itself. China has set its sight on putting men (maybe even women) on the moon, but again it will be more of a political statement than for science.

Moon Calendar, Moon Cycles and Known Effects on Earth
By Carole Somerville
May 14, 2009
It is a fact that the moon moves the tides through its gravitational pull and also that women’s menstrual cycles are often in alignment with the moon. How else can lunar effects be seen on earth?
Observations throughout the ages have helped man live by the moon and recognise how the moon’s cycles effect the earth, lives and personality.
Moon and Tides
Perhaps the most noticeable effect the moon has on the earth is its gravitational pull which is responsible for the tides. The relationship between moon and tides was observed by the ancients and is lost in antiquity. It was observed that whenever tidal levels rose, the moon was visible and thus the relationship between the two became part of folklore.

All of life is governed by natural cycles – take a look at this fascinating data – and yes the menstrual cycle is considered to be a natural cycle – that has been my point all along.

We all know the Sun radiates heat to the ground and causes extensive evaporation from the oceans and rain forests to the puddles, yet there is no way the Sun can cause the evaporation to fall back to the Earth. Moreover, it can rain [...]
