   My latest global new age onset mystic activation attempt   
   is as mentioned on the thread “Raven and the First Men, revisited”   
   on alt.religion.druid , in which I relate Raven to the dark moon   
   that just passed and the Clamshell to the following full moon.   
      
   My attempt beginning exactly at dark moon failed, but I am   
   trying again beginning at earliest waxing crescent, which is   
   auspicious for new beginnings in paganism and some   
   other religions. However I cannot sight the moon here   
   this evening since it is still only at 0.5% and since it   
   is cloudy here. So I might have to try again on September 5,   
   which is the three-sunspot-cycle anniversary of my sun stare.   
   But I always cite the moon. :-)   
      
   Anyway, has anyone on here sighted the early waxing crescent   
   of early September, 2024 yet? If not, post a followup when   
   you do.   
      
   Also I wonder how past primary ootws (Openers of the Way,   
   who I previously called avatar types) would have been   
   able to sight the earliest waxing crescent, since like me   
   they would have been extremely nearsighted but without   
   glasses (which I discarded before my sun stare, so the   
   focus formed off my retina, plus it was brief). Maybe   
   they relied on other(s) to do the sighting?
