Hm..! An interesting read, more adding to the history of why there is a taboo regarding moontime. Anyone heard of any of these superstitions, or have any new ones to share? ...menstruating women should not try to bake bread, preserve meat, sow seeds, reap fruit and so on – and, in a charming modern twist, shouldn’t have a perm, because it wouldn’t ‘take’. Or... Maybe there was simply a male fear of women’s hidden powers. ...Hmmm, now THAT could be it!
