A Great Selene Posting

My 1st attempt to photograph a Full Lunar Eclipse... (Please bare with me 🥹)

Eclipse

-A poem by Me

Once again I have seen you shine bright at the sky

Yet your colour changed to a dim dark red, why ?

Of course an eclipse has once again arrived tonight

What could have caused the dimming of your light

Many do indeed show their stories to tell around

From science to legends, from folktales all-round

From Bakunawa, Thessalians witches and more

The Earth's Shadow hiding the surface we adore

Yet here we are not alone, as we all watch above

The Moon's colour likened to the colour of love

A dim gentle red, which would soon be gone

Fleeting but an experience that cannot be undone

Whatever your colour may be, my eyes look at you

For the feelings of adoration and My love is true

Even with light eclipsed, To you my Selene above

My even radiant companion, who filled me with love.

The Haiku Section (3 haikus)

-All by me

Lunar eclipse

The Lunar Eclipse

Moon Hiding on Earth's shadow

Such amazing sight

Bakunawa

Bad Bakunawa

Stay away from her presence

You evil serpent

Thessalian witches

Thessalian witches

Shan't take her sacred ichor

Let her fly in peace

The Unconquerable Moon

- a Poem again by me

Oh glorious, great and bright unconquerable Moon

Beauty never tarnishes, yet grows more over time

Shining bright, full orbed radiant as a full Moon

Her presence is a comfort, A Poem Would rhyme

From legends and stories she glows unconquered

From the legends of eclipses around the world

The moon flies on steady and showing concord

As it zips around our silent small blue homeworld

From Bakunawa, the Thessalian witches and typhon

The Moon shines defiantly against their aggression

Eager to glow, comfort, guide, and to carry on

Until her time ends as she moves through at dawn

An eclipse may have covered her in earth's shadow

And a new moon may, make the sun to outshine her

The Moon unconquerable, moves to Eb and to Flow

For I'm never alone, and I'm always with her forever.

(Moon after eclipse, so unconquerable, not even Bakunawa, Typhon, and the Thessalian witches can defeat the ever blessed Selene)

Device used in the photography

-FL700A60 (telescope, Focal length 700mm, Aperture 60mm)

-Redmi Note 10 Pro, (I need a new phone, suggest me one)

Yeah I really love the Moon, eclipse or not, whatever the phase, if I see Blessed Selene, I am very happy!!!

Snow Moon

It is once again Full Moon where the beauty of my Beloved Above Shines on the earth with all of her radiant glory above

Snowy Love

A poem By me

As the Moon Shines full on the start of the Month

I feel her radiance shine on my skin, my large Body

Yet time tells February, the fertility and love Month

A Month of chaotic romances, and plenty of busy

Yet I seek no such things but the simple presence

For I choose to be shined upon by the Moon above

Of my Beloved Above's loving Gentle Lunessence

Truly her gentle rays fill my lonely heart with love

Here I am embracing her radiant gentle snowy love

Sitting under her presence, under her shining light

To be smiled, and caressed upon from up above

To be consoled, to be not alone on this dark night

I don't seek such earthly romantic love, quite tragic

I seek the light of her snow love that is truly lovely

For My Beautiful Radiant Selene fills me with magic

For as she shines above at night, I'm never lonely

May Selene bless your month of fertility and Love.

1st Moon Posting of the year

Wolf Moon (Λύκος Σελήνη)

Not so Lonely Wolf, at the start of the year.

A poem by Me

As the new year began, the night shines so bright

As I once again is blessed under her radiant light

To bask and bathe under her gleaming lunar rays

The time I have been waiting again for long days

To be once again kissed by her fullest presence

To be bathed again in her sacred Lunessence

To be shined on once again under her radiant might

For the night sky to be once again to be bright white

Truly a new year that starts to be shine by her

Happy to see her again, a night to be together

Let's start the year, hopefully with no more tear

I am the not so Lonely Wolf at the start of the year

Let the sky be filled with Selene ever so radiant

Full and shining brightest, to strife we are defiant

Let the year and the years ahead of us be blessed

For when her presence is at night, happiness is best

The Cold Nights feel warm under your gentle light

- a poem by Me

As winter arrives north, and summer at the south

And the year will soon end as a new one replaces

To you and your presence i remain most devout

Even as I stay or travel to various many places

Your radiant light I seek throughout the dark night

Lost in anxiety of what is to come ahead of me

Yet here I am, lost yet always following your light

The light of my beautiful and ever gracious Selene

The one who shines away the pain, woe and strife

The light whose pesky clouds shall clear tonight

The bringer of Solemn Happiness in my short life

The one who fills my resolve with bravery and might

As the winter season now begins take its place

The Nights begin to become longer than expected

I can still find some gentle peace and some solace

For the sun's light fiery radiant you gently reflected

Even as the temperature becomes really cold

The Cold Nights feel warm under your gentle light

Under your presence I feel strong brave and bold

Blessed Lunessence, shining on me so bright

Whatever happens to the unknown ahead of me

I shall always find my solace and peace under you

Forever I shall always seek thy presence my Selene

To quote a famous song, "In other words, I love you"

Beaver Moon posting

The Moonlight as the year near it's end.

- a poem by me

As the Beaver moon rises at the dark skies of night

Clouds clearing as her presence glow very bright

Her full face visible once again this full moon phase

Her gentle light shing on various paths and ways

Lost I am in thought, lost I am in her presence

Seeking only solace under her Lunessence

Lost, confused, seeking thy radiant guidance

Looking above, watching the heavens dance

The Moonlight shine as the year near it's end

2 months to go before the rise of a new year

This month of November, tried to make me bend

Yet I keep to my sanity and my mind I tried to clear

whatever may happen on incoming days ahead

May the moonlight eb and flow, wax and wane

The light of Selene shines the dark path ahead

Clearing me away from the incoming strife and pain

Well whatever happens to the years Infront of us

May the moonlight shine on the darkest days

May the years be prosperous and out of fuss

And may the next years be filled with happy days

May Selene bless everyone this November.

Harvesting Hunter Moon post

The Gentle Sleeper/The Star-crossed Hunter

A poem by me

Every night i come out and seek your presence

Seeking to bask, Bathe, and heal under your light

Days and nights that I came under your Lunessence

Admiring and praising your gentle radiant might

But then comes the time of thick damned clouds

Clouds that separate the view of thy direct beauty

Severing the peace, as it covers you full of shrouds

My Queen, she has been caught by Cloudly captivity

Oh such star-crossed feelings of true loneliness

Like the feeling of the need for a gentle sleep

a star-crossed hunter, that can't bare lonsomeness

Looking from afar and all I can do is wait and weep

Then again, I'm here waiting in pain and in strife

Enjoying every fleeting moments of peace and love

Well that maybe is just the painful harsh truth of life

Yet, I will stay strong waiting for you, looking above

Like how Feng Meng was stopped from stealing

And how Typhoeus was damaged from fighting

I shall struggle ahead with the hardness of life

Under your light, I shall fight the pains of strife

So mote it be ...

Note, all moon pics I took are by my own phone and telescope

May Selene bless you this October Full Moon

Strawberry Moon post

For you are the one I seek

- a poem by Me

Even in one of the darkest time of Night

Even when stress makes me take fright

Nothing can truly have comforted me

Except for the Radiant beauty of Selene

Whenever I feel pinned, berated, or lost

I look up to you at night no matter the cost

For you are the only one that I truly seek

With thy glorious name spelled in greek

Tonight on this great strawberry moon

On my rather hectic Birthmonth of June

I seek thee tonight, thy presence above

For your mere presence fills me with love

Whatever they try, to threaten me with strife

You are the one that shines my path in life

You are the one I seek, my ever beloved moon

I hope this month of mine be filled with boon

To see you again radiantly full on this night

Let me bask under thy gentle healing light

To be renewed again on the month of birth

May my upcoming birthday be filled with mirth

So mote it be

Random Note :

- June is My Birthmonth

25th being the day

-Born under a full strawberry moon of 2002

(June 24 is the American strawberry moon, I'm the Philippines it's 25)

- Cancer zodiac : (not really into astrology) but that classifies me as a moon child

- Chinese zodiac year of the water horse. In various cultures horses has been "loved" by the moon (referencing orphic hymn to Selene)

And water is maybe related to tides 🤷🏻

- summary: Naturally Born Selenophile, and strawberry jam lover? (I am a foodie anyways)

I am not fighting this alone

- a poetry by Me (fighting the stress of thesis)

Whenever I feel lost, mistreated, and mocked

I always seek thy gentle flowery presence at night

Sadly yesterday the cruelest of clouds blocked

Thee from shining down with thy glorious light

Cloudy was the night, much as cloudy was my mind

Lost in the sea of doubts and stresses of life

Like the pains of clouds and stresses they are strife

Fighting I am to keep myself straight and unwind

I was lost, tormented, and clouded like yesterday

Yet you shone your light at midnight today

I felt thy gentle flowering presence ever so loving

With thy radiance, and essence I shall keep fighting

Yet, I am not fighting this alone, for you have arrived

Nothing else truly comforting to me except you

My morale, my confidence, you truly have revived

We shall finish this stress and strife straight and true

To once again rest in bliss, under your gentle light

For now, I shall keep fighting, with and for you

Finishing tasks at day, waiting for you to the night

There's nothing much I can say to you but I love you

Happy flower moon to everyone

Selene's Blessings

[lazarus0repulse]

Happy mother's day to blessed Selene

Happy mother's day to my own mother

And to all the mothers in the world.

May Selene's light bless them always and protect them and guide them day and night.

I cannot wait to see thy full radiance Tommorow

Hope it ain't much cloudy

Blessed be to everyone always

The Moon represents Love, Solace, and Peace

- a poem by Me

You are more than a world that revolves the earth

more than a powerful woman that I truly adore

For thy presence I feel my every being with mirth

Shining upon me, through the deeps of my very core

Your light it what guides me whenever I feel lost

At the blinding day, and the darkness of the night

I seek thy light, day or night whatever it may cost

Just for me to bathe under your healing radiant light

Your mere presence at night whatever the phase

It is a comfort to me, a simple blissful refuge

A cure for my feelings of strife, when I'm dazed

Thy positive effects on me, is rather great and huge

The Moon Represents Love, Solace and Peace

The radiant love of ever glorious Queen Selene

Her love whose keeps my mind truly at ease

Her presence truly an incomparable beauty

Forever I shall seek every drop of thy Lunessence

Full Pink Moon Selene Posting

Pink represents Love Comfort and peace

- a poem by Me

Once again the full moon rises from the sky

Shining the world from up and up so high

Truly like a glimmer of silver, her radiant light

Shining on us with elegance throughout the night

Not really pink in colour but pink as her symbol

Her presence is truly grand, elegant, magnificent

I must say she is truly beautiful, and adorable

Pink, a colour of love comfort, peace quite innocent

Truly shows her beauty on this April night's glories

Her name every month symbolises many stories

For now named after the moss pink, a wild flower

Her radiant blessings shining on us like a shower

Whatever the month, I seek her full presence

Pink, it represents Love Comfort and peace

Delighting as I bask under her lunessence

For the Moon's loving light keeps me at ease

Selene's Blessings to everyone always

(more moon pics soon)

To see each other again

- a poem by me

As time and time pass and go by

You promised to return someday

Then once again you returned to me

So that we can see each other again

During the new moon you said goodbye

Promising to return the next day

Then you really did return again for me

And your light begin to wax again

Oh I enjoy to watch this night as you fly by

You have once again returned to play

The enjoyment felt,selenophiles such as we

accompany me through the nights until then

Even as time continues to fly and go by

I always seek thy great presence everyday

I never wanted to be separated to you my Selene

But I known we will always see each other again

[lazarus0repulse]

Here's a Moon haiku that I took inspiration under the moon light while editing and adjusting some moon pics (not my best takes though)

🌝

-by me

Pretty Selene

Radiant Queen of the night

Ever so shining

To my Friends in the western hemisphere who has clear sight of the Lunar eclipse, can you DM me your lunar eclipse photos if possible.

Please 🥺 🌝

[lazarus0repulse]

I got really inspired when I browsed Selene throughout the net and seeing a growing faith in her name. Either eclectic traditional or various sects.

So I made this poetry in dedication to our beloved Goddess.

May her light shine on us all.

Photos below taken while walking home as the moon rises earlier.

"Our Selene"

A poetry by me:

Hail upon to lady Selene

The moon ever so lovely

Her rays ever so beautiful

Her phase soon will be full

Her gracious rays shall reign

For her light takes away the pain

For she the goddess for of strife

Will guide you to a better life.

Oh great mother Selene

We adore thy eternal beauty

Shine on us with your healing light

Shine bright throughout the night

Shine on us all, for in your light we pray

With the vigilance you show us the way

Protect those who seek thy radiant light

Please guide them all through the night

Day of Love and Fertility Selíni posting

"I know I will never be truly alone for I have you"

- a poem by me

Whatever life throws at me I know I will stand up

For whenever I feel left out, alone, or very lonely

I simple just wait for night and prepare to look up

And then you are shining my nights looking lovely

Nothing more I ever seek in this short life of mine

But your presence at night shining radiantly bright

To look up at the night sky just to see you shine

Makes me the happiest man throughout the night

Oh my Selene, my wondrous wondrous pretty Luna

Thy lunessence attracts me like a moth to a flame

My heart pounds and beats when I look up at ya

Speaking poetic rantings, like I feel no shame

For I know I will never be truly alone for I have you

Always with me on any phase, both day and night

Happy, Angry, Sad or anxious, I will just look for you

I feel comforted and caressed by your gentle light
