Blood Moon or Hunter’s Moon - October
This is the Moon where the last of the harvest is brought in so it is a time of thanksgiving. The leaves are beginning to fall from the trees and the fields have been gleaned. We can feel a change coming as the nights grow longer and cooler. With the vegetation thinning, this is the best time for hunting. It is a time to honor the spirits of the animals who have died to give us life and to honor the Lord as Hunter and Lady as Huntress. It is a time to celebrate our innate wildness.
This Moon falls between Mabon and Samhain; therefore, the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. This is a good time to contact ancestors and spirit guides and to work on divination. It is also a good time for women to work on women’s health issues.

The moon here last night was awsome! I'm glad it wasnt cloudy so we had a great view of it
-
It rained here, so we didn't really get to see this one, just feel it.
-
Rained here, too. =( Supposed to rain all week. Maybe it's time to take up raindancing?

I think this entire time has strong energy, many of the odd things that I see or experience are around the full moon in October. I count three days before and after the full moon as having the full moon energy.

I use the 3 day before/after too. Its just such a powerful time it seems. Expecially this time of year
