| September Full Moon Ceremony | |
One of the names given to this month's moon is, Full Harvest Moon.
This is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox. In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by the light of this Moon. Usually the full Moon rises an average of 50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of Canada and Europe. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering.
There will be a Full Moon Ceremony held in the Blessing Circle at the SAGE Guildhouse & Library on Tuesday, September 8th at 6:30 pm PT. (in the event that this conflicts with the release of SA and people would rather, an alternate date can be selected).
Gating will begin just prior to 6:30 pm from Britain Moongate.
