BLOOD MOON: October 6th, 2025
For centuries, people have followed the cycles of the moon, using its phases to guide planting seasons, celebrations, and religious observances. Full moon names were a significant part of ancient cultures worldwide, reflecting their connection to nature and the rhythms of life. These names held deep meaning and were closely tied to the natural world.
 
While “Hunter’s Moon” is the most common name for the October full Moon (owing to the opening of hunting season for game animals), it's the start of spooky season and that means it's the witching season, of course! The Pagan tradition often names the October full moon the Blood Moon (or Sanguine moon), which is tangentially related to hunting as well.  This particlar October moon is a super moon, meaning that it appears larger than a typical full Moon because it is closer to Earth (the first of three supermoons in a row!). Technically, though, a blood moon generally refers to a total lunar eclipse.
 
So while the October moon isn't actually a blood moon as there isn't an eclipse, this full moon occurs in the sign of Aries (the opposite of the Libra sun sign on the Zodiac wheel). And if you've been following us all year, you know that Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of war, action, and well....bloodthirsty battles. So we think Blood Moon is a more than appropos name for this moon!
 
This moon also falls just weeks before Samhain (Halloween), aka the Witch’s New Year. Spiritually, this is a threshold moment - one foot in the harvest, one in the descent. It invites you to release fear and dead weight, and prepare your spirit for transformation.
 
In keeping with the fiery energy of this full moon, our Blood Moon bar is a virtual reality trip to Mars with a blood-red moon rising over the rocky, crater-pocked surface of the red planet. We've given this bar a seasonally-appropriate aromatic palette with spicy cinnamon notes dominating the nose. Zesty orange peel and notes of resinous fir are wrapped in the warm embrace of peppercorn, clove, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom. Invigorating and sophisticated!
