tinhuvielThe intro to the still unfinished Moon Myths. I just found it. Why all this stuff is scattered everywhere is beyond me. I'm so ashamed of my fool self.
Moon Myths
Traditionally each full moon possesses a name that distinguishes it and its patron month from all the others. Herein lie the Tarmian tales of how each moon got its name.
As will be mentioned in the Tale of the Storm Moon, the Tarmi were once our teachers, being Elders of the Earth. From all indications, they predated Humanity and probably the dinosaurs as well, and are the source of many of today's Faerie myths and traditions, being themselves of definite Elven appearance, yet drastically different from our modern perception of the Faerie Folk.
Typically the Tarmian beings would grow from about 5 to 9 feet in height and weigh 60 to 150 pounds. Apparently, they had hollow, birdlike bones, making them extremely light. Their eyes were quite large, being their prominent feature, and they shone like the stars that the Tarmi once travelled. Their ears drew up to soft points and their mouths, noses, and chins were small, making their faces triangular in shape. They were a beautiful and graceful people.
At one time the Tarmi lived all over the world and had five major centers of population. These nations were Khemheth in the East, Thessalonika in the South, El'Tour'Adhoa in the West, Omanola in the North, and the Veiled Island of Meybhelahn.
Today only Meybhelahn exists under Tarmian sovereignty. It guards the old tales, such as the thirteen told here, for those who would listen to them and remember our ancient alliances with the Tarmi. Meybhelahn is a Holy Island inhabited by Holy Beings who often haunt our dreams and waking fancies with the promise that, one day, when we are ready, Meybhelahn's veil will draw away and the Tarmi will return to the world of Humanity.
Enjoy the Moon Myths. Pass them on to your loved ones. Keep the promise and the magick alive in your hearts, and the Gods and Teachers will bless you.
