The Origin Of The Moon

The world is going through an ascension process, but independently of that, the god of the moon has risen to become the ruler over the current era. The god of the moon is insane and all the mythology associated with him is unpopular and considered nonsense or insane ramblings by those who read it without understanding his character.

Biachar was one of the most powerful magicians in the city of the gods. He was even better at magic than the king of Theocra, but he was able to conceive ideas outside of the light of its existence and for that reason was not satisfied with an existence of nothing but light. He had visions of the future where multiple planets and worlds existed, and he was always drawn to celestial bodies that gave off unique energy that nothing else could match. Biachar began searching the library of Theocra and he even experimented with forbidden rituals that had effects that were not well understood. The magic spells all had interesting results, but they began taking a toll on his psyche, and the other gods of Theocra began wondering if he was still capable as a magician for allowing himself to lose his sanity in pursuit of knowledge.

Biachar started acting in ways that were considered Taboo in Theocraese culture. He ran naked through the streets, he left the safety of the city and went into the dark void outside of the city. He even flirted with married gods of Theocra in front of their wives, which caused laughter in some and anger in others. Eventually he was shunned in the city, but he stole a book from the library of Theocra that contained a forbidden ritual that was explicitly banned by every law of existence.

He studied the rituals done in Theocra in order to be closer to the magic of the city. They would stand on the platform with stones that reacted to the energy core of the city, and this would cause them to be infused with certain energies of rest, sleep, and hypnosis. Biachar grabbed an entire bag of ritual stones before guards could stop him, and went over to the platform with them. He was infused with so much energy that he was launched out of the city and the rocks fused to him, making him fly around the endless void like a meteor. He flew around like this until the creation of the physical world, where he fell into the cosmos. His body became one with the magic stones, and the cosmos caused him to grow and grow over time until he became the moon we see in the sky now.

I don't see anything in the OP that promotes any discussion, so I'll address the thread's title.

One of the most predominant theories of the origin of the moon is this: While the Earth was quite young, a planet the size of Mars had a glancing collision with it, decimating the smaller planet and sending debris from Earth into space. For quite some time the Earth had a ring similar to that of Saturn or Uranus, which eventually coalesced into what we now know as the moon.

Alternatively, it may be some kind of space cheese.

Giant impact hypothesis of lunar origin

Eventually means at an unspecified later time,so it's not confirmed.

Nope. Never implied that it was. If you have a point, please make it.

Correction: I misspoke when I stated this was a theory. It is a hypothesis (yet still the most favored among scientists).

Many tales of Moon and deifications of Moon don't involve painting Moon as insane. Truly, I can't recall any of the tales I've read casting Moon in such a tone though I'm not going to pretend my memory is particularly sharp on these things. There's a small tome of Moon lore I sometimes recite a tale from during Full Moon rituals? The tales are quite diverse, as is how cultures understood Moon in a mythological or relational sense.

That's weird. I'm sure some group of people somewhere might have a mythology like that. I have the energies of the moon right now and they are hard to handle. I notice myself acting in strange ways during this lunar era.

The gods touch different persons in different ways. Well, perhaps not gods to you - something else? However it is you experience it. Most of the time, my interactions with Moon on my moonthly rituals are not like what you describe. But there have been a few times where a word like insanity wouldn't be entirely inaccurate... just not quite the word I would put to it. Lunar Mysteries can be powerful. They can often deal with hidden things that do not want to be seen. When they are seen, it can be confusing or overwhelming? When that happens, I just let it flow like water through a sieve. I don't try to hold onto it or capture it. Then it passes, leaving impressions that words are a poor carrier for. Sometimes it's okay to just let things be and not try to rationalize or intellectualize everything. That's one of Moon's lessons in my experience.

The term "lunatic" is derived from diseases that were thought to be caused by the moon, so logic follows that the moon would have associations for some with insanity and madness.

The term "lunatic" derives from the Latin word lunaticus, which originally referred mainly to epilepsy and madness, as diseases thought to be caused by the moon.[7][8][9][10] The King James Version of the Bible records "lunatick" in the Gospel of Matthew, which has been interpreted as a reference to epilepsy.[7] By the fourth and fifth centuries[clarification needed], astrologers were commonly using the term to refer to neurological and psychiatric diseases.[7][11] Pliny the Elder argued that the full moon induced individuals to lunacy and epilepsy by effects on the brain analogous to the nocturnal dew.[12] Until at least 1700, it was also a common belief that the moon influenced fevers, rheumatism, episodes of epilepsy and other diseases.[13]

The moon is the brightest light in the night sky. While the full moon is the brightest phase of the moon. This impacts the brain, via the added light level, into the brain at night.

The light of day; sun, wakes us up to face the new day. We are more energetic during the day because of the bright light entering the brain as neural signals. As the sun sets and the bright light dims and it gets dark, less and less light enters the brain, and we get tired and ready for bed. Watching TV can add light and keep you up

The full moon causes the light level to stay higher longer, at night, so the brain transitions differently between conscious and unconscious; lunacy.

There is a condition called seasonal depression, where many people get depressed in the winter, due to the sun being low in the sky, and the days being short; less solar light intensity and duration. The average daily low light level and duration has a neural impact that differs from the summer maximum. Neuron firing from the optic nerves into the brain, is less. With sleep this input shuts off, differently each season; times of the year.

The full moon in the winter, especially with the clear winter air, and a snow pack on the ground, places the moon at its relative brightest, with light also reflected off the snow. Night is almost like the dim days, at that time of year. It has a unique neural signal pattern, that people may experience, as they visit for winter holiday parties.

The word Allah has been used by Arabic people of different religions since pre-Islamic times. The pre-Islamic Arabs worshipped a supreme deity whom they called Allah, alongside other lesser deities. Muhammad used the word Allah to indicate the Islamic conception of God.Arab polytheism, the dominant belief system, was based on the belief in deities and other supernatural beings such as djinn. Gods and goddesses were worshipped at local shrines, such as the Kaaba in Mecca.
