So, if I'm getting you right the Hunter's Moon (a.k.a. the Blood Moon) is the first full moon of October. (Or the only full moon of October, most years.) Right?

Thanks. That's very helpful and useful. I'm writing this down.

So a couple more questions...

Do you know the origin(s) behind these names? And if so, what are they?

And what is a Wyrt?

The lore of the names of the moon are posted at various sites around the net. Here's a few:

Not sure about the origins though. And "wyrt" is an Old English term for "wort", a generic word for "a plant" I believe.
