The ever-changing moon was an object of mystery and superstition in ancient Ireland. The old Celtic druids placed great emphasis on the moon and arranged their calendar by it.
It was believed that any work or business undertaken when the moon was growing (waxing) would be successful. Work begun when the moon was waning was considered less likely to succeed.
A child born when there was a new moon was thought to have good prospects for health and wealth.
In Irish, the moon is ‘an ghealach’ or, alternatively, ‘an ré’. ‘Gealach na gcoinnlíní’ is the Harvest Moon, ‘coinnlíní’ being the Irish for a stubble field with stalks left after reaping.
‘Fear Láir na gealaí’ is ‘the man in the moon’. ‘Seán na Gealaí’ is Jack of the Lantern. ‘Corrán gealaí’ is a crescent moon; ‘Ré nua’, the new moon; ‘ré lán’, full moon. ‘Tá an ré ina sui’ – the moon is up. ‘Rabharta lán na re’ – the full moon-flood tide. ‘Ré’ is an alternative word for the moon.
