A good hunting time, with fewer leaves on the trees and a bright moon in the sky. Time to prepare the larder for the coming long winter.
Famous hunters include Diana, Goddess of the Moon and Goddess of the Hunt.
When I was a kid I imagined her, fierce and mysterious. Self-reliant. Splitting her time between living on earth and somewhere on the moon. More mystical than mythical, and more real to me than the Man on the Moon, or a moon made of cheese.
When I delved into the mythology to learn she trained an army of women, and had a strange power over animals, how could I not be impressed?
She made me think my name less ordinary and turned my gaze up into the night sky.
Native tribes also called October moons Blood Moon, Sanguine Moon.
