    About this ebook

    Divided into four parts, Reverand Timothy Harley investigates Moon spots: 'it is mythological and mirthsome', Moon Worship: 'to show that anthropomorphism and sexuality have been the principle factors in that idolatry which in all ages has paid homage to the hosts of heaven', Moon Superstitions: lunar fancies, eclipses and influences, and Moon Inhabitation: a literary essay 'presenting in nuce the present state of the enigma of "the plurality of worlds".
    With eight line illustrations interspersed throughout the chapters, this ebook provides readers with fascinating lunar lore.
    The Paranormal, the new ebook series from F&W Media International Ltd, resurrecting rare titles, classic publications and out-of-print texts, as well as new ebook titles on the supernatural - other-worldly books for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts and witchcraft.
