She’s been our light in the dark for millennia, but where did the Moon come from and who, if anyone, put her there? This episode of the LilWeird Podcast explores myths and legends of the Moon, from Philippine folktales to cosmic stories from around the world. We’ll wander through ancient sky lore, supernatural moon-eaters, and even strange modern theories searching for meaning in her eternal glow.

From ancient lunar goddesses and cosmic coincidences to strange scientific facts and secret symbolism, we explore:
☽ Why the Moon seems almost “perfectly placed” to affect tides, eclipses, and even myths
☽ Why cultures across the globe still follow lunar calendars for rituals, love, and loss
☽ How modern stories—like The Truman Show—echo the Moon’s role as an all-seeing eye
☽ And the question at the heart of it all: Who put the Moon there?

Whether you're here for science, superstition, or soft moonlit storytelling, this episode is for you.

For fans of: moon myths, Philippine folklore, celestial legends, ancient astronomy, cultural myths.
