▒~blood moon ~▒

Hope everyone enjoying the moon tonight.  I found it was more red on images I took with my DSLR than in person; you can see that image in my twitter feed to the right on my main blog page.

This moon is a special one for many people for many reasons.  In the meanings of someone like Kawaii who believes in the pure form of the moon and it's goddess bringing beauty upon those who bask in it... this moon is very powerful even tho in reality it is being obscured in shadows.

Kawaii would be out with other reapers or those she knows that also follow her thinking, but is dealing with her own personal problems and feelings.  This makes her not want to spend much time with others and while other reapers my be around the world enjoying fire-lit ceremonies and night time feasts;  she has taken to the forest to the pool pond where the moon's face can be easily seen and one can take a dip in a heated steam spa hot spring that naturally fills the pond with crystal clear steaming water which you can see a natural glow of the bottom of the pond, a kind of earth that finds a reflective glow in it while it naturally cleans itself.

The pond has waterfalls further up stream and it flows to the pond where it seems to simply disappear, never flooding or draining.  Here Kawaii right now is sitting in just her bare fur letting the heated water hug her tight as she sighs looking at the eclipsed harvest moon.  Letting the her mind melt and believing the moon goddesses highest power that has brought this darkened red moon will help her find a end to her pain and sadness.

The Harvest moon itself it a treasured time to bath in the rays of the goddess's light.  Kawaii calls it "moon-bathing"; to lay in her bed undressed and only shrouded by the moonlight.  The light bringing beauty and power.. recharging her soul and lightly seducing her inner pure beauty out of her inner soul and out onto her body.   She swears by the bathing to make her fur softer and more healthy and that he entire soul feels less dark knowing that the moonlight is on her.  Modesty is simply not a trait a reaper can have, but yet even a non-reaper in Kawaii's eyes should never feel shame or wrong in bathing in the light.

Tonight her hot spring soak is more charged and accompanied by lantern light and her hopes for peace within... at least for the night and as token to the moon goddess's gifts she will give her body again to the moon as she does each night it is full and bath in the light.

We don't have to be as extreme as Kawaii, but should watch this eclipse tonight as a gift of nature and the moon showing us that ever in darkness and shadows, beauty can be found.
