Burn the Moon Hare!

It is the Autumn Harvest Moon. (Chung Ch’iu) 

Give thanks for your Bountiful Harvest!

In Chinese thought the moon symbolizes the female principle of yin.

Women from each household will place the following on a specially prepared altar:

an image or figure of the Moon Hare

five platters of different fruit and

13 mooncakes (spicy circular cakes that represent the 13 months of the lunar year).

The women light incense, 

approach the altar one by one and bow.

After this  the picture/figure of the Moon Hare is burned.

Its soul is free and

 it returns to the moon.

Keep your hands off Satan's Nuts!

 

This September 21st avoid gathering nuts...

It is Devil's Nutting Day and he doesn't take kindly to people handling his produce.

If he catches you with your hands on his nuts he will send you mad or drag you to hell.

Also girls if you don't want to get a bun in the oven for god's sake don't go nutting. According to lore a good nut harvest will lead to a crop of unwanted bairns. 

Check out the Nutting Song for further important info...

It's Saturday! Kill a Vampire!

Stay Healthy with "Children in the Corn"!

 

This Situa (Ancient Incan Festival) ward off the diseases of Spring by mixing cornmeal with a little of your children’s blood! Then eat it, spread it on your skin and paint your walls with it!

“Children in the Corn - It’s good for what might ail you!”

When you have finished the emperor of the Incas will send four noble Incas running to the north, south, east and west to chase away any remaining evil spirits that the cornmeal hasn't sorted out.
