Harvest moon

 Soon there will be a full moon and this means werewolves in folklore traditions. The full moon in September is called a Harvest Moon, which is magical and full of mystery. It has an orange colour and represents the time of agriculture. Fruits, vegetables, crops, gathering and making food storage and preparing herbs, spices, onions, garlic, peppers and salt to preserve meat. Making breads, ginger, cake, soups, brewing teas, medicines to take for the coming cold and flu viruses. 

September is dark and cool, with colourful warm leaves and falling fruits, collected by humans and wild animals. It's also a time where schools, churches and villages prepare harvests, charities at food markets, a number of fairs, fetes, festivals. Summer is fading, and the fallen crisp leaves bring in signs of Autumn. We all expect this and enjoy the season every year, but more and more people are forgetting the scary creepy stories, the superstitions and the eerie sensations of the paranormal that grows this time of year. 

The Harvest Moon is a time when werewolves are believed to be more active. As this time nears the Autumn equinox, a period where the veil lowers, there's going to be more strange and paranormal activities, because of the strength of moonlight, and nights getting longer. The Harvest Moon appears larger and more luminous, increasing the powers of the otherworldly. Most of the time werewolves hunted in isolated woodlands and forests but the Harvest Moon causes them to hunt in wider areas, appearing in open fields and on hills. Increased sightings of creatures (phantoms, spirits and cryptids, mainly werewolves or "dogmen") during September's moon and often seen. Usually these sightings occur in the open such as near main roads and behind houses. Farmers were always on the alert at night, because they worked in the fields and were likely to get attacked by werewolves. Harvest moon werewolves would be extremely dangerous and therefore folklore tales and warnings about them kept people indoors.
