Mother

Hara Karamichali

Mother, nature, sun, and moon.
The Moon symbolizes our mother, the person to whom we owe our existence, the mother who 'selflessly offers' without any hesitation and with complete selflessness, the mother who generously spends care, her love, and her warm embrace.
There is a myth that says the 13th moon was given as a gift from the Gods to the people who live an unfulfilled love... For some others, the Moon symbolizes the dark side of nature that controls major natural disasters like floods, tides...
The full moon, on the other hand, symbolizes completion, strength, and spiritual power.
The August full moon is the brightest and most magnificent, and it's my favorite. Shortly after its rise, we all notice its special warm, almost reddish color. So bright, luminous, majestic, and at the same time, warm and cozy like a mother's embrace.
Thirteen moons, then thirteen discs with the dominant 13th, the largest, the brightest, and warmest, almost golden, like a mother's embrace...
