01 Oct October Moon – Biinaakwe Giizis/ Falling Leaves Moon

As we look at the changing of the seasons, as we are now well into Fall/Dagwaagin, we are reminded of more changes coming. This month’s moon is Biinaakwe Giizis/ Falling Leaves Moon: This is a time when all Creation honors Mother Earth by preparing the most beautiful colors imaginable. On the Falling Leaves moon, leaves begin to blanket Mother Earth. The spirit of each leaf is placed upon her with the gentleness and grace that only the spirits of Creation allow. 

This is also a time of finishing the harvest and preparing for the sparse months to come, the falling leaves remind us there is an end for every season but reminds us also that with every ending there is also a new beginning.
