• Full Corn Moon or Full Harvest Moon – September This full
moon’s name is attributed to Native Americans because it marked when corn was
supposed to be harvested. Most often, the September full moon is actually the
Harvest Moon, which is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox.
In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some
years it occurs in October. At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into
the night by the light of this Moon. Usually the full Moon rises an average of
50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon,
the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30
minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of
Canada and Europe. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the chief
Indian staples are now ready for gathering.- Farmer's Almanac
We will celebrate with a full moon invocation and an autumn feast complete with Mexican Cornbread.

ReplyDeleteHi Brian. I have not been able to keep up with my SL blog due to my real life commitments. To answer your question, since this is blog is based on a role playing game, I generally incorporate my postings which reflect that aspect. We role play vampires and werewolves, so I like to post when the full moon is occurring to incorporate that in our role play. On Thursdays I post something to do with the game itself. Otherwise, I post when I feel I have inspiration to do so. Have a blessed day!
