Lunar Legends

Myths and tales whispered by the moon.

Bahloo's Gradual Growth

A tale from Aboriginal Australian (Narran People) folklore.

The Moon's Journey to Fullness

In the Dreamtime, Bahloo, the moon, was a young man, lean and eager. He noticed that all the animals had grown big with food from the land. The kangaroo had a large pouch, the emu was plump, and the lizards were fat. Bahloo wanted to be big and strong, like them, but he didn't know how.

He asked Biame, the creator spirit, for help. Biame told Bahloo that he must grow slowly, taking in a little food each day. He should watch the kangaroo, the emu, and the lizards, and learn from them. So, Bahloo began to eat a little each day, and slowly he started to grow bigger.

As Bahloo grew, he became brighter in the night sky. People watched him, noting his progress, and they began to celebrate his growing brightness. They knew that his increasing fullness meant the land was growing richer too. This is why Bahloo, the moon, grows slowly, and why we celebrate his journey to fullness.
