The Rolling Moon

The Rolling Moon is a rare and sacred celestial event that occurs once a year, coinciding with the Hunter’s Moon on Hallowe’en, during the annual Night of the Starweave ceremony. In the wolves’ lore, the Rolling Moon is not just a visual wonder but a powerful symbol of ancestral connection.

On this night, the moon appears extraordinarily large and radiant, creating an optical illusion as if it’s "rolling" slowly across the sky. The most mystical aspect of the Rolling Moon is that it seems to roll up the great, outstretched branch of the Ancient Tree, a towering oak that stands at the heart of the wolves' sacred grove. This old oak tree, with its gnarled roots and vast branches, is revered as a symbol of life’s eternal cycles.

The sight of the moon rolling along the branch of the Ancient Tree is considered a direct link between the wolves and their ancestors. As the moon ascends the oak, it bridges the earthly world with the heavens, casting its ethereal glow over the wolves as they gather for the Night of the Starweave. The wolves believe this light guides the spirits of the Star Hunters and their ancestors, deepening their bond with the celestial bodies that govern their fate.

The Rolling Moon signifies renewal, the passage of wisdom from one generation to the next, and the eternal connection between the wolves, their ancestors, and the stars above.
