Moon Puts On Its Best Show of the Year Tonight

(Jan. 29) – Tonight's full moon will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It offers anyone with clear skies an opportunity to identify easy-to-see features on the moon.
This being the first full moon of 2010, it is also known as the wolf moon, a moniker dating back to Native American culture and the notion that hungry wolves howled at the full moon on cold winter nights. Each month brings another full moon name.
Orlin Wagner, AP
A full moon rises over Lawrence, Kan., on Dec. 31. Tonight's full moon is the first of the year.
But why will this moon be bigger than others? Here's how the moon works:
The moon is, on average, 238,855 miles from Earth. The moon's orbit around Earth – which causes it to go through all its phases once every 29.5 days – is not a perfect circle, but rather an ellipse. One side of the orbit is 31,070 miles closer than the other.
So in each orbit, the moon reaches this closest point to us, called perigee. Once or twice a year, perigee coincides with a full moon, as it will tonight, making the moon bigger and brighter than any other full moons during the year.
Tonight it will be about 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter than lesser full moons of the year, according to Spaceweather.com.
As a bonus, Mars will be just to the left of the moon tonight. Look for the reddish, starlike object.
Full Moon Craziness
Many people think full moons cause strange behavior among animals and even humans. In fact several studies over the years have tried to tie lunar phases to births, heart attacks, deaths, suicides, violence, psychiatric hospital admissions and epileptic seizures, and more. Connections have been inconclusive or nonexistent.
The moon does have some odd effects on our planet, and there are oodles of other amazing moon facts and misconceptions:
A full moon at perigee also brings higher ocean tides. This tug of the moon on Earth also creates tides in the planet's crust, not just in the oceans.
Beaches are more polluted during full moon, owing to the higher tides.
In reality, there's no such thing as a full moon. The full moon occurs when the sun, Earth and the moon are all lined up, almost. If they're perfectly aligned, Earth casts a shadow on the moon and there's a total lunar eclipse. So during what we call a full moon, the moon's face is actually slightly less than 100 percent illuminated.
The moon is moving away as you read this, by about 1.6 inches (4 centimeters) a year.
The Moon Illusion
Finally, be sure to get out and see the full moon as it rises, right around sunset. Along the horizon, the moon tends to seem even bigger. This is just an illusion.
You can prove to yourself that this is an illusion. Taking a small object such as a pencil eraser, hold it at arm's length and compare its size to that of the moon just as it rises. Then repeat the experiment later in the night and you'll see that the moon compares the same in both cases. Alternately, snap two photos of the moon, with a digital camera or your cell phone, when the moon is near the horizon and later when it's higher in the sky. Pull both photos up on your computer screen and make a side-by-side comparison.
Astronomers and psychologists agree the moon illusion is just that, but they don't agree on how to explain it.

Meetup Description
We have talked about ghosts in the past and it is a very interesting subject.... How about actual ghost hunting? Anybody want to stay in a haunted house with ghost detecting equipment and recorders? We will talk about it this week.
At 7pm we will have a guest speaker Michael from Paranormal Investigations Team of Utah for about an hour long Questions and Answers session. Schedules conflicted and he cannot come earlier than that. We will record him for our podcast as well.
The basic framework is to start with a 10 to 15 minute meditation so we all come closer to a calmer and clearer mindset then into the subject of the week. Members can add their personal experiences on the subject being discussed and usually do. The hour and a half is usually very short for the conversations we have and it moves quickly.
We have a pretty upbeat group of positive people.
Christopher
a LOT of exciting and interesting events are coming up... We are having our first social party and psychic readings get together. As always... if you have an idea, let me know and I will make it happen.
Set your schedule and mark your calendar. Don't forget to RSVP so we know about how many people to expect. If you don't know... just show up!!!!

CSI: NY Joins The Vampire Craze
January 29th, 2010
http://www.vampires.com/csi-ny-joins-the-vampire-craze/
As we all know vampires are huge everywhere – we see them in books,
movies, television and more. They are so big in fact that they seem to
have caught the eye of the CSI: NY writers, who wrote an episode about
the sanguinarian vampire lifestyle which will air February 3
(10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT).
“The CSIs team found themselves involved into the obscure world of modern vampirism cult in which blood
sharing is at the core of an eccentric but allegedly spiritual brand of
religion as a young woman is found dead by exanguination in the Central
park snow, drained of blood, with her earlobe chopped and a puncture
wound in her neck.”
Just by the episode description I am going to guess that “Sanguine Love” will offend and piss off quite a
few sanguinarians out there. I’m not even a sang and I’m annoyed by it.
Eccentric cult? Seriously? Oh and I love the “allegedly spiritual”
comment. Sigh. Judging by that one paragraph description this episode
of CSI probably won’t help the vampire subculture at all, it will most
likely increase the judgment and hate they already experience.
A while back one of our writers did an excellent and incredibly
informative interview with members of Vampires.nu, as well as one of
the founders of the Atlanta Vampire Alliance. If you want a real (and
accurate) look into the vampire lifestyle please check it out. Since
the CSI: NY episode is about a vampire crime I’m going to quote this
part of the interview...
Q: There are very few “vampire crimes”, i.e., crimes involving a vampire perpetrator and a non-vampire
victim, but the vampire assailants of the modern era are infamous, and
quickly become completely blown out of proportion. How does the vampire
community, in your opinion, react to these setbacks?
Merticus: Real vampires are too often mistakenly thrust into the same category of
ritual animal or human sacrifice, fetishism or classified as some other
form of paraphilia, fanatical religious expression or cults, and
labeled as unstable threats to themselves and others. We are almost
universally not the individuals who commit ritualistic crimes involving
human sacrifice, cannibalism, and murder as sometimes portrayed by the
media. We resent when the actions of mentally disturbed individuals are
lauded as an example of an inextricable link to modern vampirism; some
going further to insinuate that our subculture encourages and condones
such behavior. Those who commit acts of violence or similarly egregious
behavior within the vampire community are almost universally
roleplayers or dabblers who’ve lost touch with reality or long-term
psychologically imbalanced persons who pose a threat to society whether
they label themselves as a “vampire” or not.
I’ll mostly likely watch this episode of CSI, but I am not expecting good things
from it. But who knows, maybe they’ll show an accurate portrayal of the
vampire lifestyle. I doubt it, but we‘ll see.

Celebrations
Pagan Living
From Patti Wigington, Your Guide to Paganism / Wiccan.
It's almost February, which means it's time for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere to celebrate Imbolc. This festival of candles and light falls on February 2nd, and in some traditions is a way to honor the Celtic goddess Brighid, who watches over the hearth and home. If you're one of our readers below the equator, you're in the midst of high summer, and you're looking at Lammas, or Lughnasadh, which is the first of the harvest holidays. Like Imbolc, Lughnasadh has a deity to honor -- the Celtic crafsman god, Lugh.
Whichever one you're observing right now, may your Sabbat be a bountiful and blessed one! Have a magical celebration, and don't forget you can Follow Pagan/Wiccan on Twitter or Join Me On Facebook!
Celebrating Imbolc, a Feast of Light
By February, most of us are tired of the cold, snowy season. Imbolc reminds us that spring is coming soon, and that we only have a few more weeks of winter to go. There are a number of different ways to celebrate this Sabbat, but first, you may want to read up on:
When is Imbolc 2010?
Imbolc History
Deities of Imbolc
Setting Up Your Imbolc Altar
Imbolc Rites and Rituals
Imbolc is a time of celebration and ritual, often honoring Brighid, the goddess of the hearth. This is also a time of new beginnings and of purification. Celebrate the Imbolc season by performing rites and rituals that honor the themes of the end of winter.
Candle Ritual for Solitaries
Farewell to Winter Rite
House Cleansing Ceremony
Honoring Brighid at Imbolc
Celebrating Lammas/Lughnasadh
It's the dog days of summer, the gardens are full of goodies, the fields are full of grain, and the harvest is approaching. Take a moment to relax in the heat, and reflect on the upcoming abundance of the fall months. While you're planning your celebrations, though, you may want to take a minute to read up on:

What Bin Laden Really Looks Like Today
Last week the FBI released this digitally-enhanced photo of what they think Osama bin Laden might look like today, in case you're trying to get that $25 million bounty that's on his head. For the moment, we'll overlook the fact that the FBI's tireless research on this matter consisted of Photoshopping a mugshot of Spanish politician Gaspar Llamazares that they found on the Internet, which Gaspar's not real happy about it. Notice that after more than eight years on the run in the remote mountainous frontier of northwestern Pakistan, bin Laden seems to have maintained a robust weight and a reasonably healthy complexion, and has even been able to take his turbans to the laundromat. As reliable as the FBI has been lately, however, there is still disagreement on the minutiae of bin Laden's current visage. More . . .

Stop Global Warming: End Our Oil Addiction! America consumes over 19 million barrels of oil per day. More than 70% of that is for transportation; we burn most of our oil as gasoline in our cars, trucks and SUVs. Like any addiction, our oil dependence has serious consequences. We are at war for oil. Tailpipe emissions contribute to global warming. Oil extraction destroys forests and communities in countries like Nigeria, Colombia and Ecuador.
It's time for change... It's time to break our addiction.

So What
What is this? National Forget-How-to-Drive Day? The weather’s perfect and traffic is light, and yet I must have suffered at least a half dozen bona-fide cut-offs on my way to Harrisburg this morning. And don’t get me started on all the people in the passing lane who had no intention of actually passing anyone. But that’s not what I came here to talk about. My mind is on the second most important issue facing the nation today, next to all the people who learned how to drive in Beijing. That’s Republican Scott Brown’s victory in the race to fill Teddy Kennedy’s old Senate seat. More . . .

Dear Friend,
This week, five Supreme Court Justices stabbed at the heart of democracy, our electoral system.
They overturned over 100 years of statute and precedent, and declared that corporations can spend all the money that they want to buy elections. In fact, these five men in robes declared, they have a constitutional right to do so.
Now, we have to fight.
That’s why I just signed Rep. Alan Grayson's petition to support his "Save Our Democracy" platform, because we cannot have a government that is bought and paid for by huge multinational corporations. We need a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Join me and click here to sign the petition. Thank you!

I know this is an old post, but I thought I'd respond anyhow! Maybe the info will help you if you haven't already found it ... *smile*
The first thing I considered when reading your post is that the spiders may be your current animal totem --- totems are not always your birth totems and many will come in and out of your life as you grow and evolve on your path.
Here are a few sites that may interest you:
http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/tarantula.htm
http://www.sayahda.com/cyc4.html
As for Celtic deities associated with spiders, that would be Ariadne. More info on her can be found here:
http://www.scns.com/earthen/other/seanachaidh/godcelt.html
I follow the Celtic Deities, although I've an affinity for a few outside the Celtic pantheon. Are you familiar with Ann Moura? Her books are my bible --- love her and it was in reading her books years ago that I connected with the path of the Green/Earth Witch.
Here is her website: http://annmourasgarden.com/
Hope the info helps you.
Blessed Be

Wow ... any new news on the final outcome of this lawsuit? I am blown away that this kind of discrimination still exists. The only evil I see exists within the fanatical religions such as Christianity. I sure hope Ms. Uberti received her dues.

Go South, Old Man
"Single 45yo American man ISO loyal, affectionate, down-to-earth Costa Rican wife 35-55. Looks and income unimportant. Just get me the hell out of here!" Oh . . . sorry. I've been working on my profile for costaricanbrides.com, and I guess it spilled over into my blog. For years I imagined myself escaping to Canada's Northwest Territories when things got to be too intolerably fascist here in the United States. Then someone pointed out to me that, despite global warming, it's still very cold there. And since I'm afraid of guns and would never be able to shoot my own food, well it just wouldn't be practical.

More than 70% of that is for transportation; we burn most of our oil as gasoline in our cars, trucks and SUVs. Like any addiction, our oil dependence has serious consequences. We are at war for oil. Tailpipe emissions contribute to global warming. Oil extraction destroys forests and communities in countries like Nigeria, Colombia and Ecuador.
It's time for change... It's time to break our addiction.
