This comprehensive approach provides unique insights into the deep-seated connections between humanity and the natural world, making it a valuable resource for those interested in history, religion, and cultural studies.

The study culminates by tracing the moon’s influence on literature and storytelling, analyzing lunar motifs in folklore, poetry, and prose across different cultures and time periods. By presenting a synthesis of scientific, historical, and cultural perspectives, Moon Rituals offers a holistic understanding of the moon's pervasive role in the development of human societies.
