My little religion
Hello Luna moths,
In a way I have made my own religion. It started out as a story.. then it turned into a prayer that happens every night and every time I needed too.. It is not toxic... I wish to tell the story that started it all if anyone wants to join...
Long ago, Before the earth came into existence the galaxy held a ball. The moon was a measly peasant with nobody to rotate around. The sun was a rich star with a bright light and future to hold. The moon found herself drifting around the shadows of the asteroids that were also poor peasants. The sun happened to be going through a hard time.. His light wasn't as bright as usual. Other Stars and planets muttered around him, trading rumors about him.. Keep in mind the sun had an amazing future ahead of him.. The moon in her dusty beauty saw him.. Yet she was shy to approach him.. She drifted for a while and then the sun in his blazing light saw her. His light flickered for a second. He felt something her had never felt before... Then he drifted to her.. The moon bowed. He told her to rise.. The sun said she was the meaning of beauty and perfection to him. She whispered back that he was quite dashing as well. All the sudden a fellow star that loved the sun and wanted him in a toxic way. They swelled with fury and jealously and then exploded. The sun embraced the sun and they were blown into the milky way together. The sun let go of the quivering moon. They started to court each other. They crafted the planets together. One day the sun stepped in front of the moon, creating the eclispe, he proposed.. The moon said no, that they could never be together because of their status difference. The sun understood and offered to create something together. They each created one male and female. Then they created other men and women together.. That is how children of the sun or the moon or of the eclipse were made.. The moon created few making them rare as they are different and a little messed up. They aren't perfect unlike the sun's children as he had practiced.. He left to keep giving earth light as the moon gave darkness. The moon sobbed as she rotated, starving herself causing her to wane in size. Soon she ate some of the stars that hurt her before growing in wax in size. She felt so ashamed and this cycle repeated. She kept practicing with the stars to make people, yet these people could not walk the earth like the others.. The people down on earth admired the stars, sun and moon. This made the sun and moon smile. The sun's light shined brighter than ever before and the moon smiled. now as the people devloped then every couple years he would propose again and every time she turned it down, this time not for their status but the fate of us. She would never tell him this though. The children of the sun are butterflies and the children of the moon are Luna moths and the eclipse children are cocoons, yet to develope as they grow, either tilting towards the shyness and withdrawn beauty of the moon or the bright bold beauty of the sun. Yet some will never escape the cocoon and be both for all their lives.. Every few years the sun will propose and the moon will turn him down.. This is why we call the moon Mother Moon and the sun Father Sun.
