In folklore, moonbeams are gathered by faeries during a full moon, or used as a means to ascend or descend to earth. The sacred bull of Memphis, Apis, was conceived from a moonbeam.
Although Webster 1913 doesn't mention it,
William Shakespeare was the first one to join the words "moon" and "beam" together to form this
compound word. See
A Midsummer Night's Dream: Act 3, Scene 1.
