These days, many of us look up at the night sky in quiet awe. To some, it may prompt them to wonder the meaning of life itself, while others find comfort in the endlessness of it all.

But it hasn’t always been this way.

Here’s three of the strangest and most dramatic moments when the stars kicked humanity into chaos and exponential terror.

To celebrate the beginning of Sagittarius season, we’re going to explore all there is to know about the star sign’s constellation. Sagittarius is one of the largest constellations and is made up of many bright stars which form the shape of a teapot

If mythology is famous for anything, it’s for its tales of betrayal, spiteful gods and tragedy. Most of us are familiar with the story of Orion, killed by the Earth goddess Gaia for boasting too loudly of his hunting skills, or poor Andromeda, chained to a rock by her own parents as a sacrifice to the sea monster Cetus. But perhaps the most tragic of them all is that of the gorgon Medusa. Throughout popular culture, Medusa was mostly portrayed as nothing more than a black-hearted monster, intent on destroying any living soul that entered her domain. Yet if we were to look at the why behind her terrible circumstances, we might see her as the greatest victim of all.

There’s something beautiful about giving a gift steeped in stories and history. A gift picked carefully for a loved one for a reason, not just another panic-bought jumper or supermarket candle. This year, I’ve curated my favourite pieces from my Myths & Legends and Star Sign collections, to make gift buying not only easy, but deeply thoughtful and personal too.

To celebrate the beginning of Scorpio season, we’re going to explore all there is to know about the star sign’s constellation. Scorpius is a large constellation made up of many bright stars which form the shape of a scorpion.

Spooky season is officially here. So what better time to tell the tale of one of the most chilling – and some might say ‘hysterical’ – celestial events in history: the Blood-Red Comet of 1528.

To celebrate the beginning of Libra season, we’re going to explore all there is to know about the star sign’s constellation. One of the larger constellations in our skies, Libra is best seen between late June and September from almost everywhere on Earth.

To celebrate the beginning of Virgo season, we’re going to explore all there is to know about the star sign’s constellation. The second-largest constellation in the night sky, Virgo is best seen between late March and June from almost everywhere on Earth, located between the constellations of Libra and Leo.

If you’re looking for a gift that’s unique, sentimental and doesn’t break the bank, Leo & Luna could have just the thing.

From constellation prints and personalised star maps to zodiac gifts and celestial greeting cards, there’s plenty of choice for all budgets.
