From Sunday 25th the full moon is the Hunters Moon (if it doesn't get blown away by Storm Boleo!)
It signaled the time to go hunting in preparation for the winter ahead
I prefer the Cree name Migrating Moon in reference to the time when birds begin to fly south to warmer climes

BECOMING A VAMPIRE does not always involve being a victim of bloodsucking. The myriad ways one can become a #vampire according to Romanian folklore include: dying unmarried, dying a suicide, dying unforgiven, having the shadow of a person fall on your corpse #31DaysofHalloween

The legendary Beat writer Jack Kerouac died on this day, October 21st, 1969. Here’s a short write-up on his final days, along with one of my favorite Kerouac passages from his book – Big Sur. Check it out.
“By the time Jack Kerouac died at 47 in 1969, he’d exiled himself from the 1960s youth culture he’d partly inspired with the likes of ‘On the Road’ and ‘The Dharma Bums.’
Bloated by booze and reactionary politics, he bore little resemblance to that matinee-idol handsome ‘King of the Beats’. In death, though, Kerouac’s star has risen with each succeeding generation.”

Venus passes between Earth and the Sun 5 times every 8 years, and those 5 points trace a near-perfect pentagram.
8 Earth years ≈ 13 Venus years. 5, 8, 13: consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
The pentagram is built on the golden ratio. The Maya tracked this cycle in the Dresden Codex.
The planet of beauty draws the proportion of beauty.

#Hecate, Queen of Witches, Goddess of the Crossroads, is closely associated with her sacred dogs which herald her arrival at the crossroads by barking or howling.
They are depicted as black, and belonging to the Ancient Greek #Molossus breed.
The dogs are symbols of loyalty and protecters for those traveling at night or those seeking guidance in liminal spaces.

A great way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting.
