Samhain 2025

Happy Feast of Apples,

Greetings everyone. With a chill in the air, and Comet Lemmon in the night sky, we welcome in the new season. Davd, Zen and I have been based out of Torrey the last month and a half due to work. It’s been good, and the night skies here are incredible! However, the computer set-up is 3 hours away in Leeds, which means that though we were exploring the Four Corners for the equinox, Davd has yet been able to process anything from that trip. He’s going to be slammed with so much footage to process when we return in a couple weeks, poor guy! So no video to share with you this go-around.

We’ve been having fun going out each evening with the binoculars and watching Comet Lemmon move across the sky. Even with the waxing moon, it has stayed very visible. I hope you’ve caught a glimpse. If not, it’s not too late!

I’ve been enjoying packing up and sending off moon calendars to the early birds who have ordered them already. There are some new lunatics among us, while others are becoming regulars! There are still plenty of calendars left, so get your order in if you’re so inclined. It really means so much to us to have your support, and I hope the calendar helps you feel more connected to and in tune with the lunar rhythms. (For those of you who have this year’s calendar, I love that last year’s Comet Tsuchinchan-Atlas that was visible around this time is the calendar page right now. So fitting!) https://retrogrademotionpictures.com/index.php/shop/

In Zenith news: our little baby is changing rapidly. He’s now crawling, standing, and eating. His bottom two teeth just poked through last week. He continues to dazzle us all with his smiles and giggles!

All Soul’s Night,

The Valentines
