See No Evil
September I marks the occasion of a partial eclipse of
the Sun, but like the total eclipse of the Moon later
this month (Sept. 16), it will not be visible in the
United States or Canada. In some cultures, eclipses of
either the Sun or the Moon were believed to portend
evil omens and considered unsuitable times for begin
ning new projects, sowing seeds, or making major deci
sions. Some people thought the Sun and Moon were at
war with each other and that the obscured vision of
either meant a battle was in progress. In China, a dragon
was credited with devouring the heavenly body. Native
Americans might shoot burning arrows at an eclipsed
Sun, hoping to relight the flame.
