Today we are welcoming the darkness at Samhain/Halloween…
Traditionally, in Celtic and other communities, this evening would mark the transition between the lighter half of the year and the darker half.
Transitions and womanhood feel synonymous, as we travel through life, with the rhythms of our bodies. I wonder if we feel the transitions of the natural world more keenly because of this...
Some believe that at this time of year the division between this world and the 'otherworld' is at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through.
Ancestors are honoured and invited home, while harmful spirits are warded off. People wear costumes and masks, disguising themselves as harmful spirits, to ward off unwanted attention from the actual spirits.

Sorry, only three weeks late!
But a big thank you to all the wonderful folks who donated £3 when they booked with Moon in September.
Your support means that other women in our community can access the support they need.
The Women Supporting Women Fund offers 40% subsidies for anyone who needs it, no questions asked.
Unfortunately there is quite a long waiting list at the moment, so if you're able to donate the price of a coffee next time you book, then you're a flipping 🌟

The Camden Community Safety Team are organising a women's safety walkabout on Thursday 29th October, in the Highgate area.
They want to:
⭕️ Look at locations that feel unsafe.
⭕️ Find out about women’s safety concerns or incidents experienced
⭕️ Understand any other general community safety concerns we have
Our feedback is key as it serves to inform the route of the walkabout, as well as improving community safety for those living, visiting, and working in Camden.
If you'd like to feedback comments or take part in the walkabout, then feel free to comment beneath or DM us, and we'll pass this onto The Camden Community Safety Team.
Please note this is specifically regarding the Highgate ward (see second image).2 weeks ago
