A Personal, Cultural and Symbolic Exploration of the Moon Landing
Why was the mission to the Moon named after the God of the Sun, and
not after a Moon Goddess or God? In this unconventional work, Philippe
Sibaud explores the symbolism behind the 1969 landing on the Moon.
More than fifty years after this seminal event, and whilst the Moon is
attracting renewed interest, the author offers a bold new
interpretation of the iconic Apollo mission. Was the Apollo landing
the ultimate triumph of solar consciousness over the ancient lunar
ways, a concrete enactment of the god Apollo mythically slaying the
mother dragon at Delphi, or can the whole venture be seen as the
sacred union of Sun and Moon, birthing a new vision at a time of great
need? By weaving his own personal story with a greater cultural and
symbolic narrative, Philippe Sibaud invites us to reflect on the
importance of myths and the power of the Imagination to unlock the
deeper meaning of our individual and collective experiences. You will
never look at the Moon with the same eyes again.
