Lunula - a symbol of feminine power

Lunula as a symbol of feminine strength and fertility is present in many cultures. It was depicted as a crescent moon and was worn by medieval women as a pendant made of steel or silver. Its lunar symbolism was associated with the likeness of the moon to the female reproductive organs. Just as the Moon reached different phases, the woman strives to achieve complete femininity, and the individual phases of the Moon have always been associated with the menstrual cycle. Lunula, as a symbol of female power, was supposed to provide its owners with fertility and a happy marriage.
