|| Lunar Eclipse
Overview
The Lunar Eclipse Egregore, also known in its blood-hued totality as the Blood Moon, embodies a celestial residual belief construct formed through centuries of empirical failure, symbolic displacement, and narrative repetition. It accumulates persistent fears including omens of war, famine, and regicide, marking it as a harbinger of state collapse or social upheaval. This is particularly true through the lens of consumption, in that the moon (in it's own right a cosmic ruling elite) might be devoured or assaulted by beasts or demonic entities. It represents destabilizing hierarchies and legitimacies.
The Blood Moon is universally coded as an evil omen, forecasting misfortune on both personal and communal levels. It carries deep associations with transformative malice, where exposed individuals—especially under prolonged moonlight—are believed to undergo mutation or possession, becoming violent or inhuman. It is also feared as a time of spiritual and physical defilement—the propensity for negative forces to influence the human psyche. In extreme cases, it is framed as a precursor to apocalyptic death events, tying the eclipse to cycles of mass mortality.
