The Hunter’s Moon gets its name from the role it plays in our ancient connection to the seasons of nature. With its appearance in the sky, it marks a time when the wilderness wakes up, and the hunt for food becomes essential. Nestled in the heart of autumn, the Hunter Moon casts its light upon the world, helping hunters at night and guiding their way through the darkened forests. In the embrace of this moon, we’re invited to consider the delicate balance of life and death. And to honor the beautiful dance of nature’s cycles. October’s full moon serves as a gentle reminder to pause and pay attention to the changes happening around us. Its beautiful glow, akin to the warm glow of a campfire, offers an opportunity for connection. Whether it’s through quiet moonlit strolls or gatherings that celebrate the season, this moon invites us to enjoy ourselves in its silvery light.
 
The October full moon is known as the Hunter’s Moon, or Blood Moon. It’s believed to be a time of great power, when the veil between the spiritual world and the mundane world is very thin. This moon is associated with courage and strength, as it is believed to aid hunters in the successful hunt. October is also a time to honor the ancestors and those who have passed on, as it is believed to be a time of spiritual connection. For us it’s also a good time to do spiritual and physical house cleaning, getting rid of what doesn’t serve you in the coming year, be that bad habits or clutter in your home.
