It's hard to believe it but autumn is in full swing! The leaves are turning, at least here in the Midwest, and the nights are cool and crisp. On October 29, we'll see the full moon that folks call the Blood Moon, although some Native Americans called it the Falling Leaf Moon. This month's moon phase is a time to turn the focus inward and work on spiritual growth - after all, Samhain is here, and 'tis the season to get spiritual!
Color correspondences this month are all about darkness -- black, deep purples, and dark blue. The theme carries over into gemstones, with obsidian and amethyst being strongly connected to the Blood Moon. Deities to honor in October include the wilder aspects of the gods -- Herne and Cernunnos, Mercury, and Apollo. Take some time this month to connect with the moon, and feel its energy in your spirit. Do an autumn full moon rite, or consider holding a seance, or just celebrating the end of the harvest.

Hello, i was curious to know as to why there was a red glowing ring around the moon… this surely is a bad omen?
there are so many ways to say hello in pagan i will like to know what is the best way antoniojose
I am very pleased that our Samhain event got such great press coverage in the Torontoist-
We had a dance collective (Isoprox) build a tree in the heart of the city, we also did a Samhain ritual, and had the Dragon Ritual Drummers perform along with much much more-
here is the link to the article:

On the night when the veil between the worlds is thinnest,
come and dance the magic circle ’round
in the heart of the city
in Toronto’s biggest square
we will invite the dead and dearly departed to come and dance with us for one night of the year –
THIS is the REAL Hallowe’en
I am proud to announce that the WHEEL will be happening in Dundas Square on November 3rd featuring the Dragon Ritual Drummers and much much more!
This will be the first time in Toronto’s history that a pagan themed event will be held in such a public, central, downtown location.
