September Full Moon - Harvest Moon

September's Full Moon is called the Harvest Moon, Wine Moon, Singing Moon, Sturgeon Moon, Haligmonath (Holy Month), Witumanoth (Wood Month), or Moon When Deer Paw the Earth.

It is a time of preparation for the upcoming chilly months.  It is a good time to set up an hearth or kitchen alter and clear out clutter.
