[Gatesedge] All Hallows Eve

[Eadric Anstapa]

For those who are interested.

The moon will be full tonight.

This is the first time that there has been a full moon on Oct. 31 in 46
years.  The next Halloween full moon will occur in 2020.

The Seven Sisters constellation, which looks like a small cluster of grapes,
has long been a signal for the time of year to honor the dead -- such as All
Saints Day, November 1.   According to myth, the Seven Sisters constellation
is at its highest point in the sky during a great calamity, possibly the
biblical flood or the sinking of Atlantis. The Aztecs and Mayans believed it
would be overhead at midnight on the night the world comes to an end.

The Seven Sisters and the full moon will both be directly overhead at
midnight.


Sleep tight.
