For thousands of years, people have observed the world around them, with the night sky and the Moon being an integral part of their reality. Through these observations, they noticed that the phases of the Moon and its position in the sky influence various aspects of life. Over time, these insights led to the creation of the first lunar calendar. While its exact origin remains unknown, evidence of lunar calendar usage has been discovered in ancient Mesopotamia, China, India, and even in a remote island settlement in modern-day Malaysia.

Some aspects of the Moon’s influence on Earth, such as tides, have been extensively studied and documented in scientific research. However, other effects, often referred to as the Moon’s energy or energetic influence, remain difficult to study using current scientific methods. As a result, the full extent of the Moon’s impact on human life has yet to be fully explained.

Lunar calendars represent knowledge passed down through generations for thousands of years. Today, they are gaining renewed interest as people seek to understand themselves and the world around them more deeply.
