• 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.
