Today is the first day of the 7-day Feast of Tabernacles, the last of the Feasts of the LORD (not Feast of Israel and not Feast of the Jews). God said in Leviticus 23, “These are MY Feasts!” Feast in Hebrew is moedim, “fixed appointed times on God’s calendar‘.
Today (last night) moon. The 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles is always a full moon. Some years there is a Blood Moon on this day, as in 2014 & 2015 Blood Moon Tetrads. https://mbostrom2.com/tag/tetrad/ Passover and Day 1 of the Feast of Tabernacles are the only Feasts of the Lord that can have a Blood Moon. Blood Moons happen on a ‘full moon’ and Solar Eclipses happen when there is no light on the moon, right before the start of a Hebraic month.
The October Moon has come to be called a “Hunter’s Moon” in North America. It comes from the Native American Indians who lived in the north east area of the United States and they name each full moon after the cycle of what happens on the land that month.
January – Wolf Moon, named for the hungry wolves who would howl at the full moon
February – Snow Moon or Hunger Moon, when the food is so scarce from the cold and snow
March – Worm Moon, when the earth worms begin to move again as the ground begins to warm
April – Pink Moon, named after the pink flower that would bloom this month, phlox, first blooming in the Spring in the Northeast.
May – Flower Moon, when the wild flowers would be in full bloom
June – Strawberry Moon, when the strawberry fields would be ready to be picked

August – Sturgeon Moon, known for the large number of fish in the Northeastern Lakes where the Algonquin tribes fished.
September – Harvest Moon (also full Corn Moon), when the farmer would work around the clock to get the fields harvested before the snow would fall.
October – Hunter’s Moon, when the animals are fattened and the hunters would find game to last through the long winter months
November – Beaver Moon, when the beavers are most active building their dams and setting in for the cold
