September, the ninth and sacred month was once called Hāliġmōnaþ or Hāliȝmōnaþ in OE – the Holy Month. Bede described the month as saying ‘Halegh-monath is a month of sacredness’. The OE poem Menologium seu Calendarium Poeticum described the month as a ‘holy month, because our ancestors, when they were heathen, sacrificed to their idols in that month’.

The next full moon will be 3.34am on the 18th September (so the night of the 17th). This will be a blot or holy-moon, also called a harvest or wood-moon.
