The Harvest Moon appears at the end of September.

The Harvest Moon is bigger and more colorful than other full moons. The science-y people will tell you that’s because of the tilt of the earth and the reflection of the atmosphere.

That’s okay, I suppose. But I like the magic of a Harvest Moon.

Norse myths call the Harvest Moon the most powerful moon of the year and associate it with the god Loki .

The Celts called it Samhain and it marked the end of summer and the beginning of the quiet of winter.

I think it’s beautiful and I hope you enjoy it.

PS — this a much representation of Loki, don’t you agree?

Not sure how this post got away from me, but there you have it.  Blame the magic of the Harvest Moon.
