October’s Full Moon continues the Harvest Moon cycle, this one being known as the Hunter’s Moon or Blood Moon, which is pretty self-explanatory. Since the bright moon rises shortly after sunset and remains visible pretty much all night on this night in the Northern Hemisphere, it assisted nocturnal hunters in finding prey. Sacrifices of thanks for the growing season were not uncommon.  It is also traditionally a time of feasting and bonfires.....

Because of the Bonfires and Campfires connection with this full moon, energies of the element of fire abound – which of course is the Southern realm of Satan himself. Remember to honor Satan and his attributes of Lust, Truth, the fire of Lifeforce and Inspiration.....

Other ways of enhancing your ceremony this time around is the Feasting, the abundance of Autumn’s offerings – pumpkin pie immediately comes to mind, as does corn on the cob,  apples (maybe sliced and served with caramel dip) and cider, or cakes or cupcakes made with a cinnamon-y Spice flavor. ....

The Harvest Moon rises shortly after Sunset near the autumnal equinox. It also notoriously appears larger than other full moons, and has a hint of yellow color. In more pastoral times, farmers would use this added light to harvest crops. It was also a time when the beginning of thinning the herds (hence “Blood Moon”), some of which were sacrifices of Thanks for a successful growing season.....

(In the Southern hemisphere, the opposite is true – on this night, there will be an extra long time between sunset and moonrise)....

Some suggestions for enhancing this Full Moon experience could be as simple as adding beer (barley) and some form of corn – perhaps cornbread or popcorn – to the after-ceremony feasting, and/or spinning Blue Oyster Cult’s chilling song “Harvest Moon” from either their http://www. amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000061RB/crowgrrl-20 Heaven Forbid ....

Or deeper and more profound additions. This is a great time - since it’s close to the Equinox - to ponder the Eleusinian Mysteries, secrets of life/death/rebirth and the Demeter/Persephone connections. Maybe even re-watch “The Wicker Man” (Personally I prefer the original Sir Christopher Lee version). ....
