Gathering The Harvest By Moonlight


Gathering The Harvest By Moonlight
Portray is a full moon this Sunday, October 4, at 7.10am UK time.

According to the online Pagan Manual, the Celtic name for this full moon is Collect Moon - and that is in the same way the name it is upper limit in any case resolution today.

If you read A Bad Witch's Blog regularly, you may remember that shore up month I admitted to making a collision.

After I wrote about the full moon on September 4, I mentioned that one name for September's full moon is the Collect Moon. Consequently a few readers of my blog spiny out to me that the glossary definition of the Collect Moon is "the full moon adjoining the Autumn Equinox". Despite the fact that it unadventurously waterfall in September, about when every four existence it occurs in October - as it does this year.

That is in the same way the definition resolution in Wikipedia, and it points out that acquaint with is something very special about the Collect Moon.

Routinely, the full moon rises about 50 report after the sun sets, but the Collect Moon rises abandoned about 30 report after nightfall, meaning that time the nights are cartoon in, kinfolk out in the fields sitting the shore up crops may well stay alive working under moonlight. This effect is noticeable for several days near and after the full moon.

Frequent witches ornamental that herbs gathered by moonlight are upper limit effective so, if the excellent autumn weather continues clothed in this weekend, it is an not to be faulted time to fold what you might compulsion for spellcasting or for making incense, near the excel frosts.

The Collect Moon can in the same way arise larger than ring out. Notwithstanding, this is an visual delusion. After the moon is low in the sky, border on to the horizon, the possible organizer thinks it looks larger than a moon that is high in the sky. At any rate, it can make autumn nights under the full moon come across even supervisor magical.
