October’s full moon was called the Hunters Moon by the first Nations and peoples of northern Europe, as it was a time when animals were fattening for the lean winter months and therefore a good time for hunting.

This month’s story takes its inspiration from last year’s sleep out, a recent autumnal walk along the Wye Valley, the observation of ravens close to my home and the potent symbolism of birds from other cultures.
