Support MoonCadence

MoonCadence is built to be genuinely useful — computed astronomy, honestly-labeled folklore, no invented claims. If that's worth something to you, a small donation ($5 minimum) helps keep it independent and ad-light.

Why Donations Instead of Just Ads

Ad revenue on a site like this scales with pageviews, which quietly pushes toward publishing more pages faster rather than researching each one properly. Direct donations aren't tied to traffic at all, so they fund exactly the opposite incentive: taking the time to verify a full moon's traditional name against a real source instead of guessing at one to fill a page.

Where the Money Actually Goes

Every donation goes directly toward hosting costs and the time spent keeping the astronomy and folklore on this site accurate — no ad-network dependency required to keep the lights on. There is no team to fund and no investor to satisfy; it's a one-person project, so a $5 donation has a real, direct effect on how much time gets spent fact-checking the next batch of pages rather than disappearing into overhead.

Other Ways to Support the Site

If a donation isn't the right fit, buying the personalized lunar calendar PDF funds the site the same way while giving you something back, and pointing out a factual error through the contact page costs nothing but genuinely improves the site for every reader after you.

What a Donation Doesn't Buy

Donating doesn't remove ads, unlock hidden content, or come with a subscription — every page on MoonCadence stays free and identical for donors and non-donors alike. It's closer to tipping a jar than buying a product; the only thing that changes is how much time gets put into the next round of fact-checking.
