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.
