EDITORS COMMENTS
The Shepherds Kalendar is a fascinating woodblock engraving from the 18th century that delves into the mystical and symbolic associations of the moon. In this intricate illustration, we see how the moon was considered to be a female planet, characterized by its cold and moist nature. Those born under the Moon were said to have a love for geometry and related arts, with a phlegmatic temperament.
The Moon's metal was silver, its season Spring, and water among its elemental influences. It was friendly to Jupiter but hostile to Mars, with Friday being its designated day and night. The Moon had only one house - Cancer.
This print captures not just an astronomical phenomenon but also reveals the deep-seated beliefs and superstitions surrounding celestial bodies in centuries past. The detailed depiction of the moonlight shining down on a man and woman adds an element of mystery and intrigue to this historical artwork.
As we gaze upon this woodblock engraving from The Shepherds Kalendar, we are transported back in time to an era where astrology played a significant role in shaping people's lives and understanding of the world around them.
