The Hunter's Moon

October's moon is known as the Hunter's Moon or the Blood Moon. The harvest has been collected and it is time to rely on the hunt to make it through the cold winter months. It is a Moon of new goals, protection, resolution, and spirituality. The night of the Blood Moon is a great time for divination of any kind. At this time of the year, all of nature is making ready for winter. Animals that hibernate are gathering the last scraps of food. Birds are heading south. It is a time to reflect on what you did during the year and evaluate your accomplishments. 

I didn't do ritual per-say, instead I spent some time with the moon, see below;

The Beautiful Hunter's Moon and Jupiter, just above the mountains by my house.

The shine on this picture just shows how the moons divine power shines within all of us.

This picture was taken at an f-stop of 5.6 with an exposure time of 10 secs (for all you photo-heads out there) It just means it allowed a lot of light in, so it seems like day time. But that is the Moon at 9:30pm with the planets and star shining brightly along side.

I couldn't get the focus just right with an object that far away, but the picture is still beautiful.

This picture was take to the south of me. The center of the picture is looking at the Center of the Milky Way. When the moon is not in the sky, you can see the bright streak of the Milky Way across the sky. I will have to take a picture of that, for it is truly stunning.

All done from the comfort of my back porch. The Divine really is everywhere.

Go enjoy the beauty in your back yard.

Blessed Be
