Hello There! Happy Autumn!
I enjoyed the latest Full Moon and beautiful orange hue this past week. The October Full Moon is known as the Full Hunter's Moon and Harvest Moon. Imagine if you will that you are camping at the edge of a forest; the leaves are falling, a crisp chill is in the evening air, and the pumpkins are ripe for picking. The wonderful smell of wood smoke enfolds the surrounding air. I get an inkling for the seasonal brews, especially pumpkin ales.
Many early campers and trappers, as well as Native Americans, found this the time to hunt and store for winter. The crops were gleaned, therefore game like fox and small creatures that were after the left-overs were easier to see and capture. Deer and game are fattening for winter. Because of winter looming, this moon was given great significance within the Native American tribes and European civilizations.
I enjoyed celebrating my 33rd birthday on the swing in the backyard last weekend; a fire burning down to ash and hot embers and a chill in the air made for a nice nap. I awoke to the beautiful clear night sky above, and was filled with awe and gratefulness for another year and reflected over the last year's challenges and blessings.
Be well Friends! Enjoy the upcoming fall months! Also, I have added to the Spirit Stories Tab, so head on over there next!
