Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween!

"A gypsy fire is on the hearth;

Sign of the carnival of mirth;

Through the dun fields and from the glade

Flash merry folk in masquerade, 

FOR THIS IS HALLOWEEN!"

 Have a very blessed Samhain to all our pagan friends!

• Full Hunter’s Moon or Full Harvest Moon – October 

This full Moon is often referred to as the Full Hunter’s Moon, Blood Moon, or Sanguine Moon. Many moons ago, Native Americans named this bright moon for obvious reasons. The leaves are falling from trees, the deer are fattened, and it’s time to begin storing up meat for the long winter ahead. Because the fields were traditionally reaped in late September or early October, hunters could easily see fox and other animals that come out to glean from the fallen grains. Probably because of the threat of winter looming close, the Hunter’s Moon is generally accorded with special honor, historically serving as an important feast day in both Western Europe and among many Native American tribes. - Farmer's Almanac

As Kumani and I thought of a name for our Bloodlines clan, we wanted something to represent us. (Well she created and I stood there and nodded my head). More than just vampires and lycans, we celebrate the moon in our real lives as well. Kumani is such a genius with words and writing and capturing the ideal phrase to describe something, her choice of the word "rapture" was perfect. Rapture means elated bliss, high emotion, joyous ecstasy or transporting a person from earth to heaven. Blood Moon Rapture. Most defintely, YES.
