'Ole Pau Moon ... Hina half-way to Dark Moon

Mahina rose at midnight in a sky that is clear and dry, absent of clouds the heavens glitter with stars and planets. I am not positive, but as Ka La the sun readies himself for another day I think I saw Scorpio heading west. Soon Makali'i will bring the new year Makahiki.

Mahina is in her half-lit face, the other half lit now as she moves toward the Dark Moon. Among other indicators of the Fall season  Spiders make webs here and there and everywhere. Some long time tradition of relationship continues between the Equinox and Spider Season. Spider spins the hei ensnaring food and making story. Haumea throws her net into the sky to plot things. Make net, throw net, make story, tie things together.

Do you spot Spider and her hei? (click on the image for a larger look)

There is a new medicine story being spun for Equinox, it may be something that interests you, as one story ties to another, and another and another. I am tying stories, making story about Spider Season here.  That link will start you off.
