The Harvest Moon is the full Moon that occurs nearest to the autumnal equinox date (September 22, 2024). This means that either September or October’s full Moon may take on the name “Harvest Moon” instead of its traditional name. Similarly, the Hunter’s Moon is the first full Moon to follow the Harvest Moon, meaning it can occur in either October or November.

The Harvest Moon & the Hunter’s Moon are unique in that they are not directly related to this folklore or restricted to a single month. Instead, they are tied to an astronomical event: the autumnal equinox!

• October’s full Hunter Moon orbits closer to Earth than any of the other full Moons this year, making one of the four supermoons of 2024!  As the Moon drifts over the horizon around sunset, it may appear larger & more orange—how perfect for the fall season!

It is believed that this name originates from the fact that it was a signal for hunters to prepare for the upcoming cold winter by going hunting. This is because animals were beginning to fatten up in preparation for the winter season. Moreover, since fields had recently been cleared out under the Harvest Moon, hunters could easily spot deer & other animals that had come out to search for remaining scraps. Additionally, foxes & wolves would also come out to prey on these animals.

Samhain is about halfway between the autumnal equinox & winter solstice. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals along with Imbolc, Beltane, & Lughnasa. Historically it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland, & the Isle of Man. 

Samhain is believed to have Celtic pagan origins &  some Neolithic passage tombs in Great Britain & Ireland are aligned with the sunrise at the time of Samhain. It is mentioned in the earliest Irish literature, from the 9th century & is associated with many important events in Irish mythology.

The early literature says great gatherings & feasts marked Samhain when the ancient burial mounds were open, which were seen as portals to the Otherworld. Some of the literature also associates Samhain with bonfires & sacrifices.

• According to Irish mythology, Samhain (like Beltane) was a time when the 'doorways' to the Otherworld opened, allowing supernatural beings and the souls of the dead to come into our world; while Beltane was a summer festival for the living, Samhain "was essentially a festival for the dead".

•The festival was not recorded in detail until the early modern era. It was when cattle were brought down from the summer pastures & livestock were slaughtered. Special bonfires were lit, which were deemed to have protective & cleansing powers.

At Samhain, the aos sí were appeased with offerings of food & drink to ensure the people & livestock survived the winter. The souls of dead kin were also thought to revisit their homes seeking hospitality & a place was set at the table for them during a meal. Divination was also a big part of the festival & often involved nuts & apples.

Mumming & guising were part of the festival from at least the early modern era, whereby people went door-to-door in costume, reciting verses in exchange for food. The costumes may have been a way of imitating & disguising oneself from the aos sí. 

• In the late 19th century, John Rhys and James Frazer suggested it had been the "Celtic New Year", but that is disputed.

Some believe it is the time of The Goddess' mourning the death of The God until his rebirth at Yule. The Goddess' sadness can be seen in the shortening, darkening days & the arrival or cold weather.

Related festivals:

• Halloween( October 31st)-

In popular culture, the day has become a celebration of horror, being associated with the macabre and supernatural.

•One theory holds that many Halloween traditions were influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, which are believed to have pagan roots. Some go further & suggest that Samhain may have been Christianized as All Hallow's Day, along with its eve, by the early Church. Other academics believe Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallow's Day.

Popular Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising & ghouling), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins or turnips into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, & watching horror or Halloween-themed films

• Day of the Dead(November 1st-2nd)-

 el Día de Muertos or el Día de los Muertos

The multi-day holiday involves family & friends gathering to pay respects & to remember friends & family members who have died. These celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember amusing events & anecdotes about the departed. It is widely observed in Mexico, where it largely developed, and is also observed in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage.

•The observance falls during the Christian period of Allhallowtide.

Traditions connected with the holiday include honoring the deceased using calaveras & marigold flowers known as cempazúchitl, building home altars called ofrendas with the favorite foods & beverages of the departed & visiting graves with these items as gifts for the deceased.

 The celebration is not solely focused on the dead, as it is also common to give gifts to friends such as candy sugar skulls, to share traditional pan de muerto with family & friends, & to write light-hearted & often irreverent verses in the form of mock epitaphs dedicated to living friends & acquaintances, a literary form known as calaveras literarias.

 Some argue that there are Indigenous Mexican or ancient Aztec influences that account for the custom & it has become a way to remember those forebears of Mexican culture.

• All Saint's Day(November 1st)- 

Also known as All Hallows' Day or the Feast of All Saints is a Christian solemnity celebrated in honour of all the saints of the Church, whether they are known or unknown.

The Art of Enjoying Fine Chewing Tobacco: A Connoisseur's Guide

Chewing tobacco is a smokeless tobacco product savored for its rich flavors and cultural significance. This type of tobacco comes in various forms, most notably loose leaf, plug, or twist, and is placed between the cheek and gums. Enthusiasts of this method value the experience for the slow release of tobacco’s taste and the tradition it upholds. It stands apart from other forms of tobacco consumption due to its nuanced flavor profile and the absence of smoke inhalation. Despite its popularity, it is important to address the health risks associated with tobacco chewing. Regular use can lead to addiction and various oral health issues, including gum disease and an increased risk of mouth cancers. While the ritualistic aspect of chewing tobacco may appeal to many, it is crucial to approach this practice with awareness of its potential impact on one's health. Tobacco chewing has evolved over centuries, with each variant offering a unique experience. The flavors are typically enhanced by sweeteners and other natural and artificial flavorings, providing a broad palate ranging from very sweet to robust and earthy. This sensory journey, combined with the leisurely pace of use, makes chewing tobacco an art that is appreciated by aficionados around the world. Understanding and Choosing the Right Chewing Tobacco Selecting an appropriate chewing tobacco involves an understanding of its history, types, and quality differences. It also requires knowledge of the health implications and the legislative landscape surrounding its use. History and Types of Chewing Tobacco Chewing tobacco has evolved from native traditional practices to a commercial enterprise with a variety of products. Chewing tobacco is typically comprised of coarsely chopped aged tobacco leaves that may be sweetened and is enjoyed by placing it between the cheek and gum. Common forms include loose leaf, plug, and twist. Brands like Levi Garrett and Beech-Nut illustrate the longstanding history and tradition within the varieties available. Quality, Preparation, and Storage The quality of chewing tobacco is dependent on several factors: the curing methods, the aging process, and the addition of flavorings. A satisfying chewing experience requires properly cured and aged tobaccos, which enhance the aromas and flavors. To maintain freshness, store tobacco in a cool, dry place and ensure proper packaging to retain moisture and texture. Health Considerations and Risks Chewing tobacco contains nicotine, which can lead to addiction and is associated with health risks such as oral, esophageal, and pancreatic cancers. Regular use can also increase the risk of gum disease, heart disease, and contribute to oral health problems. It is important for tobacco chewers to be aware of these risks and the presence of carcinogens and nitrosamines in tobacco products. Legislation, Control, and Public Health Globally, there is a concerted effort towards tobacco control and reduction of tobacco-related health impacts. Laws regulating the sale and distribution of tobacco, including chewing tobacco, aim to minimize public exposure to health risks. The American Cancer Society and other public health entities conduct meta-analyses to understand and communicate the implications of tobacco use, leading to policies focused on prevention and control.

Beech-Nut Gum, 1937

[wentzethan]

Amazing what a little distance between us can do. How little my heart really cares for you. You chewed me up and spat me out but now you're nothing but the gum under my shoe.

All is as well as it can possibly be now that you are as far as one could possibly be, so fly along now silly bird because the almonds sitting in my palm is just poison designed to devastate and hurt.

Cyanide and homicide is just syllables away to keep the man alive.

I'm bitter that much is evident in my tone but you're gone and flown away to some spruce and beech thats been worn to its bone because at least it has nuts you can eat without losing your throne.
