October Full Moon - Blood Moon

October's Full Moon is called the Blood Moon, Harvest Moon, Shedding Moon, Falling Leaf Moon, Winterfelleth (Winter Coming) Windermanoth (Vintage Month), Falling Leaf Moon, Ten Colds Moon, or Moon of the Changing Season.

It is a time when the veil between our world and the spirit world is the thinnest and we can feel the energy around us.  This is a good time for spiritual growth, contacting a deceased ancestor, a séance, and divination.  The messages you receive in their dream this month should be something you pay attention to.
