Just a note: I'm no physicist. However, I was told that the tidal effect (i.e. how big a change there is in the mean sea level) is inversely proportional to the third power of the distance. So if the second moon is both smaller and further than the first, it would have a relatively tiny effect on tides.
That said, having two obvious, moving, celestial figures would (IMO) have a strong effect on the importance of mathematics and astronomy. As well as the perceived structure of any 'heavenly' pantheon. And thus elemental magics...
