Traditionally the first full moon following Harvest, our Hunters Moon will occur on 20th October this year.
Around this time of year, the moon rise occurs earlier than normal and often appears in vivid shades of red and orange.
Historically, the Hunters Moon would signal the end of the stretching sunsets of the equinox and encourage fathers and sons to turn from the fields to the hunt, in order to bolster their stores for the impending winter.

Correct! Nature is not a place to visit, nature is earth. You can’t say you’re going to visit the earth, that would be silly. Modern people perceive nature as some other separate place you go visit sometimes, because most of us were born, and raised inside the artificial, inorganic environment of urban cities that shield us from the natural earth as if we are not part of this planet, but aliens

The rock carving area in Näsåker, Ångermanland, is one of the largest in Northern Europe. Spread out over several islands in Nämnforsen, there are at least 2500 shapes carved into the bedrock. The most common depictions are of moose, but salmon, birds, dogs, humans, ships, sun wheels, footprints and bowl pits are also prevalent.
The motifs confirm that a hunter gatherer community once lived in the area.
On the southern shore archeologists have found traces of a village, as well as arrowheads, iron knives and other tools made from slate and quartz.
The rock carvings are dated to the younger Stone Age and older Bronze Age and the finds indicate that this location has been inhabited for a very long time; from the Stone Age until at least the late Iron Age.

We are descended of gods.
Honor them by living honorably and set the standard for those to come.

Wild Edible: Hawthorn.
There is no excuse for not knowing the ubiquitous Hawthorn. It can be found in country hedgerows to urban park's and everywhere in between.
The leaves, berries and flowers are all edible. The leaves, which have a nutty flavour, and the flesh of the berries were often nibbled by rural schoolchildren on the way to school and were called "bread and cheese", it's still a lovely wayside nibble for the rambler (but don't eat the stone). The flowers can be used to make cordials, as you would with elderflowers.
Hawthorn berries are naturally high in pectin and are great for making jams, chutneys and pemican.

This time of year is about the time of shadows and borders, of honoring our ancestors. Crows and ravens are often depicted during Halloween (Celtic name is Samhain). A crow or raven has the ability to take the form of other creatures. She can move in the land of the living and in the underworld. A corvid in the form of your spirit animal helps you travel between different worlds. Wodan is also accompanied by 2 ravens, Hugin and Munin, which means "memory" and "thoughts". These mental constructs can travel to different worlds to gather information. In short, if you see a corvid in real life or during your trance journeys, you may see more of its abilities and beauty than was apparent at first sight.

Very impressive Dutch Metal song about the goddess Nehallenia. The tribe of the Fox has made several video's about this beloved ancient deity. So check out this song and the translated lyrics.
Nehalennia, Heidevolk
The day is over
The fog is lifting
The harbor disappears from sight
We are travelling to places
Heretofore unseen
The journey and our fate unknown
Searching for battle
Women and grog
Searching for eternal glory
Honor to the women
of life and death
Protect us on the open sea
FORWARD!
Over the seas
FORWARD!
Nehalennia
The sails are billowing
In a sou'westerly wind
The horizon is our goal
No tide is too strong
Or waves too high
Defying the biggest storm
A sacrifice made
On the Zeeland shore
At the altar of the goddess
Bringer of wealth
Trade and light
Show us your favor
Far from land
Over the sea
In the red evening light
The northern star
Shows the way
Towards our fate

Heidevolk create with "Uit oude grond" a musical and lyrical monument for the legends and sagas of their homeland Gelderland. The sextet stays tenaciously true by enveloping Gelderland's history in a compactly woven garb of folk and metal. Authentic traditional…
Nehalennia goddess of the North Sea.
On votif stones you appeared,
for guidance of our sailers.
Ancient but not forgotten,
by our people of the swamps.
Guided by the underworld hound
of our merciless North Sea.
Some were taken,
some were given,
in our Lowlands we are free.
Overflowing horn of fertility,
in your arms we'll give,
a sacrifice to thee.
