Tonight is the Blood Moon- the full moon normally associated with the month October. For some reason (read because they don't do their homework and won't think outside the box) most people think this full moon is called Blood Moon because it is October's moon. (October playing host to such a delightful holiday as Halloween- it makes 'pop' sense... I guess.)But that is not exactly how it works. At least not for us witchy-folk... Here is where the sensical traditional-ness comes in. Blood Moon is called such because this is the time of year when (sorry to keep using the word) traditionally villages, towns, families, etc., began to slaughter their fattened animals for the winter meats; and to preserve meat you must first end the life of the creature. And so blood flows. And so this full moon becomes the Blood Moon.
It has so much to do with nature, with survival, with keeping life and light abounding during dark times.
It is a beautiful understanding.
To all, a Happy Blood Moon tonight.
