On October 9th we welcome the Hunter’s Moon.
This Full Moon marks the end of the Harvest season and is rich in ancestral magick.
It is a time to start really connecting with your heritage, your ancestors and looking at what they have given you. It’s also a delicious time of releasing your own old stuff.
If you are new to working with Full Moon energy, there is fabulous information on all the aspects of it right here.
Remember that at Full Moon it is time to Release your energy, as the Full Moon marks the end of a cycle, and the Moon begins to grow dark, again.
The Hunter’s Moon derives its name from the hunting that takes place this time of year. Now is the season of the rut for Deer and Elk (mating season), and game are currently well-nourished.
October’s moon brings the season of the hunt, preservation, and preparation for the icy cold days and nights to come.
The Hunter’s Moon is focused on internal work and self-reflection. We now begin the dark half of the year; accept and welcome the darkness with open arms and spirit. It’s a time of transition, divination, and balance.
Take a moment to look back in history at your ancestors and the lessons they can teach you. Before industrialism, people focused on harvesting and preparing for the coming of Winter. Failure to do so meant facing one’s own death or mortality.
You can feel the magical energy in the air right now as we head toward Samhain, and the veil grows thin. This increases your ability to communicate with your ancestors or loved ones. It’s an opportunity for spiritual growth, goal setting, gratitude, and finding ways to slow down and enjoy the season of Autumn.
Could we please also have more infomation for the other side of the world…such as Australia which is now spring…..thank you Barbara Powell
