Comments on: Polluting the Moon http://www.llewellyn.com/blog/2009/10/polluting-the-moon/ Cultivating a community through the exploration of magical living and spiritual evolution.

As you probably already know, everything in the universe has gravity. In fact, our Earth is orbiting the moon just as the moon is orbiting Earth, thus creating a sort of wobble effect. Without the moon, we would be dead. Also, the moon is and has been moving a few inches further from Earth every year since its creation. This is due to the moon wanting to go straight and because of the lag from the tides. It used to completely fill up the sky millions of years ago. Going back to gravity, moving anything close to the moon, earth, or anything else will move it, however slightly. So will imapacts. The moon is gaining weight from everything we've crashed into it (which could be (amazingly) contributing to global warming) which is the Earth-Moon system' wobble more exagerated. And no, people like them never think about anything other than themselves. Why? Because they're the 'Man'. Pro:Con::Progress:Congress... need I say more? Religiously, I'm [mostly] Christian, so the moon isn't sacred (to my faith, I revere it). However, I personally love the moon and I would sooner die than have the 'Man' destroy yet another of Mother Nature's creations. NASA is seriously considering 'Terra-Forming' Mars - In other words, they're going to turn Mars into Earth #2. It'll most likely start circa 2040. Did I mention we're about to discover immortality? Man is too dependent on science and before long may no longer feel the need for a/any God(s)/Goddess(es). It is the same Egoistic outlook that is causing history to repeat itself. If you haven't already, go research Rome. The American Republic is parallelling Rome just before its fall in 410 so closely, so exactly, that I have no doubt in my mind that the contry will fail, and NASA along with it. Nature will have balance, and when man tips the scale, it is only too happy to right it once more. (sorry it's not organized and/or 100% on-topic. My mind has a tendency to wander) This is, without question, a pagan issue as well as an enviromental one. As you probably already know, everything in the universe has gravity.

As you said Elysia, the moon is tied up intrinsically with our way of life upon this blessed planet we call Earth. I can not believe that NASA, or any scientific organisation for that matter, feels that they have the right to do such negatively-charged things to this planet's moon. As a Pagan I find it spiritually immoral, as a human being I find it absolutely ridiculous. This is definitely a Pagan issue, and not just that – it’s also a human issue.

The total amount of junk sent to the moon over the years (by the US and USSR) is roughly 375,000 lbs. and only 842 lbs. has been brought back to Earth. It's the same story with Mars too, only nothings been returned from there. The littering of the moon began on September 12 1959, when the Soviets crashed their Luna II probe on the lunar surface.

Have we not made enough of a mess of our planet? Where do we have the right to start polluting any other planet, moon, sun etc. Will we start shooting crap into the sun to see if we can harness the energy? How about lassoing the rings around Saturn and see if we can pull it in closer to us? And what it continual "bombing" episodes knocks the moon off its orbital track? How will that affect our tides, etc? Do we ever think of consequences before we act? I agree as well. Have we not made enough of a mess of our planet?

And a hard one for me. When I think about the Moon...the beautiful, mysterious, goddess moon and how much she means to me spiritually, the things you mention break my heart. Sadly, there is another part of me that gets really interested and excited when we learn new things about the universe. So, part of me did wonder "what would they find" as a result of this. I'm very conflicted about the situation. This is such an important question, Elysia. And a hard one for me.

I think then we should ban any trace of civilization more advanced than anything from stone age on Earth too, I say Stone age because bronze age was kind of polluting, you know. Obnoxious materialist thinkers and it's silly harmful science... Earth is beautiful, sacred and powerful too.

The menstrual cycle is the phases of the moon. If the moon is manipulated in any way, it could change the seas and storm activity on Earth.

I do believe that this is environmental due to the fact that it has alot to do with the alignment of everything in our solar system. I watch the History Channel and in some programs, some scientists do believe that if we continue with this, this will create a "shift" of the planet. Big Companies, Little Minds, Lots of Greed! Blessed Be! I,too,agree. I do believe that this is environmental due to the fact that it has alot to do with the alignment of everything in our solar system.
