DebDandelion Posted August 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hello all. I am posting this on behalf of a friend. If I did it in the wrong section...mods please help then. Background info: Long nasty divorce between this friend's brother and his (ex) wife. She ended up with all three kiddos. So the eldest came to visit and told her aunt (my friend) that mom made them moon water. She didn't like it cause there were bugs in the water. So friend googled the concept, and she tells that is magic related.( freaked out...) I don't know enough about the possible explanations... So I am asking for help. So what am I asking? *Possibilities /probabilities of what it could be. *Should there be bugs in? * what is the purpose? Would highly appreciate some thoughts . Regards Deb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted August 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2018 To my understanding.. moon water is pretty much water that has been left to sit to soak up the moon's light. It's supposed to charge the water with moon-power, like how some people charge crystals by the moon. Some folks also do this sort of thing with sunlight too. What the purpose is kind of depends on the practitioner and what their view is on what the moons light is supposed to do or not. So in and of itself, pretty harmless even if it is a bit spooky in nature. It is just water after all. However, I'm also aware that some folks put stuff into their water to enhance particular properties- that could potentially be a problem. Not sure if the bugs are accidental, and just get caught in the water and the gal isn't straining them out, or if the bugs are on purpose, but bugs are IMO an icky thing to be consuming. Sometimes people like to collect water that may not necessarily be of a potable nature, and that can be a problem if people are consuming the water. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xYlvax Posted August 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2018 There is also a belief in alchemy that moon water is used to help make the elixir of healing and longevity. It has healing qualities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way, yep. Just different styles of imbuing the water with whatever. Pretty harmless in and of itself. If the water is physically contaminated, that could be a problem in and of itself. Honestly, I'm not too concerned with the woo factor here so far. The bugs are grossing me out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiXilver Posted August 20, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Bugs are full of protein. Moon is full of shine. Water is full of life... not to mention millions of critters so small we just can't see them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There I am more liberal than most. As long as you don't hurt others...go for gold (with beliefs). I am pretty sure that the shine itself cannot influence the water. I dunno. For other people it is what they believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiXilver Posted August 20, 2018 #21 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I know religious Daoists (not the philosophical variety), will charge water for various intents, using moonlight, sunlight and energy from various constellations and elements in their talisman work. Pagans also charg water through intention and the use of various elemental influences. I'm inclined to agree with Deb here and if folks are not hurting anyone, who's to care? I'm curious if the kids drank the bugs? For myself, I've eaten many varieties of insects over the years and enjoyed it. Kind of an adventerous eater that way. I love crickets seasoned three ways and some ants have a truly wonderful and utterly unique flavor similar to anise without any seasoning at all... in fact in many recipes, ants are the seasoning. As for charged water... As part of my regular meditation/energy cultivation routine, I flood my body with negative ions by hanging out near, or under waterfalls or hanging out along the beach where the water is crashing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is if they are selling these 'blessed' waters to sick people it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
