SUMMARY:Cultural Considerations WG webinar - Moon: Religion and Ritual
DESCRIPTION:Since the dawn of time\, the Moon has attracted the devoted attention of Earth’s inhabitants. It has been attributed divine powers\, magical abilities\, and significant influences on our daily lives\, from bottling wine to sowing seeds to cutting hair. With this webinar\, we intend to explore how primitive beliefs led to the Moon being seen as the first step toward the conquest of space. \n\n\n\nFree registration on Zoom\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\nRemo Rapetti: Introduction\n\n\n\nDeana Weibel: “The Once-Distant Moon: From a Sacred Light to a Human Domain”\n\n\n\nCarolyn Kennett: “Moonlit Monuments”\n\n\n\nLisa Pettibone: Comments and Questions.\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nDr. Deana L.
