In times before, when a solar eclipse took place it must have been scary and grim. Darkness during daylight would occur and so folk would stop there usual activities and may have engaged in meditation to offset any bad influence of the event. The folk's lives were ruled by the light and dark over which they had no power to change and with which they could sometimes not cope. Wisely folk refrained from actions that were dangerous or injurious giving another opportunity for people to remember restraint and caution.
