FuLL mOOn ~ August ~ Sturgeon or Red mOOn

he thought she looked sexy and sultry in that dress...



Or maybe it's just the Heat.
Here We are, the last FuLL moOn of Summer.
The Sturgeon mOon.

Named by the Fishing Tribes, since Sturgeon,
were most abundant and readily caught 
during this time.









Some knew it as the FuLL Red moOn.
Because as the moOn rises, 
it appears Reddish through
the sultry haze.

August's FuLL moOn is sometimes also called
The Green Corn moOn or Grain moOn.
Late August/September is the time of the last harvests,
and when the Green Corn is ready.



The Energies around this moOn are ones of Abundance, Agriculture, and Marriage.
We are encouraged to begin Harvesting and CoLLeCting the Herbs that We will use 
over the next year.
Magic and Spiritual work can be done for the Self; to reap the benefits of hard 
work done.




Burn an Orange candle, 
Drizzled with a bit of Honey,
Light some Cinnamon incense...
and allow Your Self to accept 
the great rewards of hard work.


Make some PoPcorn, 
head out to the Lake, 
light some {citronella} candles, 
and harvest that LoVe from Your Honey!!!

CeleBraTe!!!

cause Autumn is almost here!
which we all know, leads to such Merriment!
