: "Henna Moon"There's more to this one than you'd think! I've found some lovely
bits of poetry, from ancient Greece and Persia both, that mention the
moon as having "rose-colored fingers" (hennaed imho) and houris
compared to a rose-colored moon. My hunch? The harvest/fertility
festivals that women hennaed for were during the full moons in the
late summer/autumn that have those beautiful henna colors! So
perhaps the "henna moon" was a time of abundance, harvest and
sexuality.......
Good one!
