The Moon is not a star, it is a celestial body or sattelite. Please correct.
- That's right, it should be spelled "satellite"
Hunters moon/ huntress moon?
editHi all, Though not being well versed in hunting, it seems me the to go hunting during a large moon might be something of a disadvantage because your prey would see you long before you (the hunter)saw it (the prey). Could this term "Hunter's Moon" be a deviation both linguistically and metaphorically for "HUNTRESS" Moon? The reason I ask, is because it would make more sense for me to go hunting during the day and not the night. I am a fisherman, and I know through my own experience, that if you go fishing for sea trout and salmon on a full moon, you highly likely to return home with an empty bag - they just don't want to bite with all that moonlight around. Anyway getting back to my main Idea - That Diana was the lunar deity that was called "The huntress" her symbol (or one of them was a crescent moon or bow). To go hunting under a crescent moon would help when hunting at night could offer some advantage against ones prey - especially in a N.European setting. Don't be too hard on me, I hope someone else understands what I am trying to say. Anyone got any thoughts here? Regards to all, Poprizla 12:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- According to some of the external sources, ancient civilisations used the season surrounding the Hunter's Moon to stock on food for the winter months.
Interesting side topic
editI don't know a lot about this, so I thought I'd throw it in here and see if anyone else had any sources on the subject. In the 1980s Vampire Hunter D movie there is a reference to the Sanguine Moon in which D explains that female blood is unclean, making his client (Doris Lang) safe from Count Lee. This was not mentioned in the original novel, but the commentary said it was a reference that was agreed by the animators. I wanted to know if anyone had any references to this as well.

Harvest Moon definition
editI noticed that this page gives a slightly definition for the Harvest Moon than the Harvest Moon page does. Which is right? 204.15.100.52 (talk) 15:38, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
The whole page is a google bomb that bullies it's way to the front
