The Blood Moon as it appeared last night in Los Angeles, CA, USA (Image found on Yahoo!)
Not that canonic lores mention it, but if I had to choose a time to become a werewolf (yes, that's the kind of question that populate my mind every single day), it would have to be on the Blood Moon. This time, though, I wasn't so lucky, since the sky this morning was very clouded where I live. Plus, I don't know of any cases of lycantropy nearby, so the chances of stumbling upon a werewolf and getting bitten were so small I didn't feel like getting up in the middle of the night. It will have to wait until next time!
Anyway, the phenomena known as Blood Moon or Red Moon is caused by a lunar eclipse - when the Earth stands between the Sun and the Moon -, and, before it disappears, the Moon's light turns red because of the sunlight being tinted by Earth's atmosphere before it hits it. It's a beautiful and yet somewhat terrifying spectacle. I mean, can you imagine what ancient people thought about it? Some people say the Blood Moon happens before important and sometimes tragic occurrences in the world... Guess we'll have to wait and see!
