Wet moon hand painted cabachon pendant.

The terms Wet moon and Dry moon originate from Hawaiian mythology, where it was thought that the moon appeared as a bowl which would fill up with rain. The period where this is most common, January 20 - February 18, corresponds with Kaelo the Water Bearer in Hawaiian astrology and makes the moon known as the Dripping wet moon. As the year passes into summer, the crescent shape shifts, pouring out the water and causing the summer rains. After the bowl empties, it dries out and rights itself, creating the dry moon.


Each painting is 2.5 inches/ 6.35cm across and comes with a 19.6 inch/ 50cm silver plated, stainless steel chain finished with a lobster clasp, in its own Tinky Tidge gift box.
