Full Hunter’s Moon in Aries

As you may know, the Full Moon phase is the BEST time to practice Therian Rituals.

Such a phase begins today.

The most-widely used American Full Moon name for this month of October is the Full Hunter’s Moon.

This was the time to hunt in preparation for winter.

This full Moon is also called the Travel Moon and the Dying Grass Moon.

To those who follow the zodiac & astrology, this is a Full Moon in Aries.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is believed to rule new beginnings.

This is believed to  be the Full Moon of the child:

a celebration of innocence, adventurousness, and starting anew.

Aries and Libra both have a lot to do with the balance of light and dark.

When Aries begins in March at the Spring Equinox, the Earth reaches the balance point when now there begins to be more light in our day than darkness.

When Libra begins at the Fall Equinox, the Earth reaches the balance point when darkness begins to grow greater than the light.

TODAY    14

The Book of Were-Wolves New Edition

Members of the The Therian Temple’s Ordo vir Bestia have just published a book version of the 19th-century were-wolf text, “The Book of Were-Wolves”, in both paperback and hardcover editions.

Written in 1865 by a British Theologian and Hymn-composer (he composed the well-known hymn “Onward Christian Soldiers”), this text delves into the history of beliefs and traditions surrounding human-animal transformations and related ideas.

Far from being a “factual document”, “The Book of Were-wolves” is a look into the mystical and magical esoteric ideas and lore about man’s “Inner Beast” that were prevalent in the world of the late 1800s.

One can clearly see the basis for the myriad Hollywood Film-versions of the “Wolf-Man” in the details of folkloric poems and traditions.

The research compiled in Rev. Baring-Gould’s text paint a unique picture of a mystical 19th-century world where monsters are very real and believed-in.

Luckily, the helpful hymn-composer turned literary Good Samaritan is there to guide you through this archaic and frightening world of wolf-men, vampires, cannibals and murderers.

“The Book of Were-Wolves” is a must-read for anyone interested in human-animal transformations, folklore, or even just monster movies.
