In italy they cut firewood in relation to the lunar cycles?

The magnetic pull of the moon on the earth is so strong it affects our tides, and even our wellbeing, although many of us do not realise/ accept this. It is no different to an MRI scan, only billions of times stronger. So it makes perfect sense to me what they do. There willl be more or less sap in the timber according to the pull of the moon versus the pull of gravity.

Found another link about it

 

Trees with smooth, rounded leaves, such as beech and walnut, should be cut on a waning moon whereas trees with leaves with separate protruding fingers (for want of a more technical word) are better cut when the moon is waxing. This would include woods from oak, chestnut and ash trees for example. He continued by saying that if you cut beach during the wrong phase of the moon, you will find the wood more pinkish in colour and more humid, making far less effective firewood than the whiter, drier, version of beech wood that you get if you cut it at the right time.

Interesting that theese traditions still survive but i reckon they are about as effective as tying a toad round your neck to cure a soar throat.
