About

The moon is a powerful force of nature. Just step outside in the middle of the night when the sky is clear and the moon is full and look at it for a moment. You won’t be able to deny that it feels magical and intense and amazing. And people over time haven’t been able to deny that either. In fact, the moon has been a central part of many myths and legends across different cultures precisely because of how powerful this part of the sky is. Subscribe to Dark Pens and see the moon in ways you never thought you could.
