I know Sun worship has a prominent, long and storied history, but what about Moon worship?

Has it always occupied a subordinate position?

I think Islam considers moon worship to be superior.

>>1287945
How?

The Arab calendar is based on the phases, but all forms of paganism and idolatry are the ultimate sin

The sun comes to give light and it do away with the cold

The moon comes out when the creatures of the forest are awake and when darkness descends


This isn't rocket science or Neitzche anon

Also the symbol of the crescent in Islam.

Moon generally is a symbol of the feminine for some reason, so you're hard-pressed to find worship of goddesses/feminine principle. Diana/Artemis was a symbol of the moon and worshipped, I believe, in various guises. Robert Graves talks about shit like this in The White Goddess.

Probably you could find stories about witch cults doing shit like that, too; Hecate and the moon, you know.

Otherwise, idk.

Also this >>1288071

moon = darkness, cold, fear; not a likely thing to worship, psychologically speaking, unless you're outright embracing witchcraft/antimainstream religions in history.

>Moon generally is a symbol of the feminine for some reason

Only in warm climates, where the cool night associated with the Moon is pleasant, while the Sun is hard (and therefore masculine). That's why the Moon is female in Latin languages (la lune, la luna...) and the Sun is male (le soleil, el sol).

In colder climates it's the other way around, male Moon for the harsh cold (der Mond) and female Sun for the pleasant warmth (die Sonne). Unsurprisingly this also matches the genders of their corresponding gods in Norse mythology.
