Mythology Summary
Sin is the Akkadian moon god of the desert and the calendar, whose crescent lights the caravans and whose temple at Harran outlived the others by centuries. He is the measure of the month and the light that makes night travel possible.
Modern Practice
Sin is called on at the new crescent, before a journey in the dark, and in the keeping of a herd. His practice is the month counted and the light used well.
