Last night, October 17th saw the sky filled with the full Hunter's Moon which also happened to be one of four supermoons in 2024.
The name Hunter's Moon is applied to the full moon that falls during the month of October and was so named because the month of October was generally spent hunting meat and preserving it for the coming months of winter that lay ahead. Hunter's Moon originates from the Anglo Saxons but prevails in other cultures under different names such as Freezing Moon, Falling Leaves Moon, or Seed Fall Moon.
Last night's full moon was also a supermoon meaning the moon was in very close proximity to Earth and appeared up to 30% bigger and brighter in the sky. It coincides with the high Spring Tides and storm force winds of up to 75mph or greater anticipated, so there is bound to be localized flooding and damage with the ensuing tidal surges.
Thank you everyone for your wishes over my finger which is healing well, and I've been able to start doing a little crocheting again, with care.
Until next time,
Stay safe, stay well
