A rising and descending moon are signs of life and destruction. The moon is one of the central elements of solar symbolism in almost all ancient civilizations. In Latvia the moon sign has been known since the late Neolithic. The Moon sign is most often used in conjunction with the Sun and Star signs. The moon's job is to care for the stars as the father of the children. As sweet as the Sun, Mother Moon is not, but it is also highly respected.
Our ancestors have used the lunar calendar to plan their daily routines. The Moon symbol has the closest link to the cult of agriculture. The peasant knew that the moon influences and promotes growth, so he worshiped the moon. The Moon is also considered the guardian of the soldiers and the Moon signs are more ornate for men, especially soldier clothing and jewelry.
The simplest sign of the moon is a semicircle, which for technical reasons is often shown as an equilateral 90o angle - part of a needle. The moon sign may have folded ends or a broken middle. Often, there are also more generous derivatives of the Moon sign, the most popular of which is a sign made up of two 90o-connected signs. Paired signs usually indicate a symbolic relationship to the cult of fertility.
True, in the writings of the daughters, the signs of the moon have been little used, since the sun is the predominant handicraft of light. Ancient pattern-making traditions indicate that the symbols associated with the celestial sphere were decorations of honor and took on a higher rank in the pattern hierarchy. One of the most complex derivatives of the Moon sign is also considered to be the symbol of Uzsi - the god of spring fertility.
Among Latvian ornaments there is also t.s. Lunar Cross - Four Moon signs placed symmetrically around a circle or rectangle. This sign could represent the four phases of the moon. The moon's cross has the power of a guard.
