 There’s a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse looming that culminates tomorrow at 2:09 pm ET!

Before you take that Moon Bath, consider what the ancients thought about eclipses.

The Maya viewed eclipses as dangerous signs, often viewing them as indications of conflict or the death of the Sun god. They believed that rituals such as bloodletting, drumming, and dancing were necessary to restore balance and awaken the Sun from its cosmic struggle against a jaguar or monster. During eclipses, the Maya would close their windows and stay indoors.

 

Similarly, many Hindu temples close during solar or lunar eclipses due to ancient beliefs that these events are inauspicious. It is thought that an eclipse disrupts the natural order and brings an influx of negative energies, potentially harming the sanctity of the sacred space and its deities. Temples typically reopen after the eclipse, followed by a traditional purification ritual.
