One day, the sun will start shrinking. That’s because the curse the moon lay on the sun, thousands and thousands of years ago. This is The moon cursed the sun-clans beliefs.
Sunday morning was a bright day, and warm, even before the sun came up. At 5 p.m. we were walking to meet the spokesman for the little known clan. All we know is that their beliefs are unique, and that they have five hundred members, here in northern Scotland. We are not allowed to say where, since the clan does not like too much attention.
We arrived at the nice little café where we were to meet the spokesman. When he came, a couple of minutes later, we noticed him at once. He had big, round glasses, and his hair hung well bellow his waist. He looked nice, if not a little weird.
He didn’t seem to eager to talk about his clan at once, and bought us coffee. When he was sure we were comfortable, he began to tell us about his clan.
“Our beliefs,” he said, “is that thousands of year ago, the sun were much brighter than now, and the moon lived on the ground.
The moon was in love with the great beauty on the sky, the sun. But the sun would not answer his prayers of attention. Therefore, the moon went to an old witch on the highest mountain rising from the deepest wale. Here, the moon asked for revenge against the ignorant sun. The witch asked for a price, and the moon gave it. Then the moon raised to the sky, and where given the task to be ever more romantic and beautiful then the sun. But he could not see the sun, because the sun was nowhere to bee seen. And the price the witch took was seen, that the moon should shine in the day of the witch, the night. In rage, the moon cursed the witch, to never be able to touch water or see the sun. The witch got very sad, because she loved to be out in the day. Therefore she used her last powers to make the sun shrink. And the three of them now live in sadness, two in the sky, and one deep under the ground.
Our guide tells us that this is where the clan comes in. The clans’ beliefs are to cleanse the curse on the witch, so that she can stop the shrinking. To cleanse the curse, they need to be performing a ritual three hundred times in three hundred years, in three hundred different holy places. Then they need to revive the powers of the moon. Before that, they have to ensure that the moon should heal the witch from the curse, to save the people of earth from the freezing death they will have, if they don’t have a sun as big as before.
Except from the meetings, people of the clan live as every other people where they live. They cannot eat round things without ensuring the moon that eating a round thing doesn’t mean that the have an intension of turning the moon to cheese, and eat her. They have clan meetings sometimes, but since they don’t have any special texts they believe in, they mostly use the time to practise the rituals and sing songs. They prefer ABBA, since that’s supposed to be the favourite of the moon. Besides that, they are normal.
We leave the town with a sense of fascination. The moon and the sun clan is something special.
