Traditionally, the each of the first ten days after the New Moon has it's own attributes and qualities. Here's the folklore on each of those days:
First Day: A good day for new beginnings. To fall ill on this day means the illness might last a long while. A child born at this time will be happy, prosperous, and live long.
Second Day: A good day for buying and selling and for starting a sea voyage. Also a good time for hoeing and sowing.
Third Day: Crimes committed on this day are certain to be found out....

Hey TwoFeathers do you know of a site that would allow you to find the phase of the moon on a certain day in the past?
ReplyDeleteI found a site that will give you the moon phase if you're born in the US ... here it is, moon phase images, I'll check around for something that is a little more definitive in terms of WHERE you are, because that does make a difference.
ReplyDeleteOk... here's another one... from briancasey.org.
