The Blood Moon

The Blood Moon rose over Rochester, NY at 6:26pm Eastern Daylight Time on October 6th. It became full at 11:12 pm Eastern Daylight Time, and set on October 7th at 7:49 am Eastern Daylight time.

Over Farmington, NM it rose at 6:35pm Mountain Daylight time and set at 7:50am on the following day. It became full at 9:12 pm Mountain Daylight time.

The Blood Moon is so named in reference to the fact that this is the time of year where one would begin to thin the herd in order to allow the rest to survive through the coming winter months. It is one of the ones that some of our detractors love to point to because it sounds ominous and seems to speak of sacrifice, but the truth is it has a practical, and non-religious oriented name just like most of the rest of them.

The next Sabatt will be Samhain, on October 31.
The next New Moon will be on October 22nd at 1:15am Eastern Daylight Time
The next Full moon (the Mourning Moon) will be November 5th at 7:58am Eastern Standard time.

There is the lunar and the spiritual data for this month of this life, or something close to it.
