October Hunter's Moon: The Full Moon of Focus, Action, and Letting Go

October brings crisp mornings, warm sweaters, and a landscape slowly turning gold and copper. On October 7th, the Hunter's Moon appears, a full moon that for centuries was seen as a time to prepare for the darker months. It's a moon about focus, action, and completing what remains to be done.

Why Hunting Month?

The Hunter's Moon usually follows the Harvest Moon. In the past, hunters would go out during this time to gather supplies for the winter. The strong moonlight made it easier to hunt longer and focus on what was necessary for survival. Today, we see the Hunter's Moon as a symbol of purpose and taking deliberate steps.
