I have not read anything this informative on the subject. Thank you, It's a keeper!
I remember talking with someone in their 20's about moon phases, ways to work with them and how they can influence a person. He thought that lunar influence over anything can be nothing but fantasy.
Others accept a relationship between moon and tide but rather than explore further implications, it seems that most stop with whatever second hand knowledge is within close reach.
So if anyone thinks you're loony for understanding relationships within nat.. / the original environment, then we all need to be working to break industry dominance over education & commercial influences that shape (limit) our beliefs and possibilities before understandings like this, which may have taken generations to develop are colored dark, or lost altogether.
Thank you so very much for the meaningful feedback @dougbudlong, you're absolutely right about how our beliefs become limited by modern society! We need to keep our minds open, I also believe there's a lot we can learn from the older generation as I've often come to realize that many of the old practices actually works.
