A 'super blood wolf moon' and five eclipses are among 2019's major astronomy events
There are a number of great events (eclipse) coming this year. (Click on seeded article for all of them)...But this one. Blood Wolf Moon is going to be really spectacular....I would advise if you are going to be staying up until midnight to watch this that you prepare yourself for some strange creatures like the Weendigo or the Ghost Wolves. They tend to do a little hunting around the ''Blood Moon''...
January 21: Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse
For the first time in three years, the United States will be able to experience a total lunar eclipse. According to NASA, it will be one of the sky's "most dazzling shows," as the moon will be at its closest point to Earth, making the moon appear slightly bigger and a lot brighter, an event that is often referred to as a "supermoon."
But that's not the only thing that will make this eclipse stand out. Total lunar eclipses are often call "blood moons" because when the sun, Earth and moon align, the sunlight that passes through the Earth's atmosphere will appear to turn the moon red. And because lunar eclipses can occur only during a full moon -- and the first full moon in January is known as a " wolf moon " -- many are calling this spectacular event a "Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse."
At around 12:12 a.m. ET, people in North and South America, as well as those in western parts of Europe and Africa, will have front-row seats to this show.
As a side note this is prime hunting time for both the ghost wolves and the Weendigo. So take extra percausions while watching this eclipse.
Here is a brief discription of the Weendigo...The Weendigo is gaunt to the point of emaciation, its desiccated skin pulled tautly over its bones. With its bones pushing out against its skin, its complexion the ash gray of death, and its eyes pushed back deep into their sockets, the Weendigo looked like a gaunt skeleton recently disinterred from the grave. What lips it had were tattered and bloody from its constant chrewing with jagged teeth.
Unclean and suffering from suppurations of the flesh, the Weendigo gives off a strange and eerie odor of decay and decomposition, of death and corruption.
When the Weendigo is set to attack a human being, a dark snow cloud will shroud its upper body from the waist up. The air will turn cold, so the trees crackle. Then a wind will raise , no more than a breath at first, but in the moments whining and driving, transformed into a blizzard.
Behind the odor and chill of death and the killing blizzard comes the Weendigo..
Well enjoy the eclipse and keep alert for weather changes and strange smells.

It should be a great year for eclipses and of course creatures from the other world...
And 2019 will be still more proof Trump doesn't know Weendigo...
I got to see the Dec 20th 2010 one from my backyard. Start to finish.
It was spectacular, lasted about five and a half hours from start to finish. Really deep red. Cold, the air was crisp with not a cloud to be seen to block the view.
Alas, I wasn't visited by any critters, but I did have my offerings and peace pipe ready.....
Actually a poor effort at recording but it looked better when I first looked at it. would have changed it but ran out if time.
It looked pretty good to me. Was the plane in the beginnng headed to Sea-Tac?
This year is going to be great since their will be 5 different eclipises to view.
Beware, you Americans. Thankfully it's not happening here.
You are very lucky Buzz....LOLOLOL
What a year to expect.
Maybe I am confusing creatures, but I think only an arrow tipped by black obsidian can penetrate the creatures heart.
I have only 1 remaining.
You are in a world of hurt, dave...an arrow tipped by black obsidian cannot harm a Weendigo nor a Ghost Wolf. There is only one thing that can kill a Weendigo...and it's a secret...As for the Ghost Wolf, what can I say, it's a ghost...LOL
You may want to watch the eclipse from inside a steel cage or join Buzz in China.
Dave is out of range as much as I am.
Well, I am going to challenge this beast. The Great Spirit just passed these on to me.
I have no idea what the blue and white ones are made of. They give off fire when struck.
It is my assumption, these were given to me for a reason.
Outstanding arrow heads but I'm sorry dave. They will not harm the Weendigo...there is only one thing in the world that will destroy it and it isn't a weapon of any kind.
Now all you are doing is sweetening the pot here.
Mid Maryland has no sweat lodges. This is going to be tough to figure out.
Yes I am...
The Weendigo is a canibal it survives on human flesh and can never be satisfied. In fact there is a mental illness called the ''Weendigo Syndrome".....As with all Native myths/tales/stories there is a moral. It feeds on those humans that are greedy and only think of themselves. So it eats them but cannot quench its hunger until he runs out of humans that are greedy. Once that happens he has no food and dies.
So it devoures all humans because they are all greedy or when humans stop being greedy he has nothing to feed on and dies. So if you're not greedy and don't think only of yourself, you're safe
Good story Kavika.
Thank you.
What happens to the undead? Or the soulless. I fall under those two categories. Just ask my mother.
You mean, you were a middle school girl once?
An oh, you're going to have to deal with mum on that one, sister.
Absolutely Dave! I might even be that now. Scary!
Mum might be a Weendigo. I want to know if I stand a chance.
I'll put it this way...You're in deep shit.
LOL.
Well, just for the sake of that Weendigo I hope it doesn't upset Julia.
I made the mistake 1 time and ONLY 1 time of upsetting her.
At least I still have most of my ear and and the facial scars kind of blend in with the older ones.
But I'll never do that again.
I wonder if it will be going to Washington-- to eat Trump!
I knew that was coming...LOL
Well he/she/it could have a side dish of congresscritters also.... nothing wrong with that....
It's the female version of ''The Shining''....LOL
I think there are enough obsessive members of NT to rename this site TheTrumpTalkers.
An understatement at times. I would kill for a day without having to read the name 'Trump' in a headline.
Agreed, and as well the day that NT's front page doesn't show one article that mentions him. Back when Doser was around on her Moderate and Balanced group, the members made a concerted effort to load the front page with non-political non-religious non-controversial articles for one day, sort of a good and happy news and article day, and although we came close, it was an impossible task.
Arizona is not known for Wendigo's. Too far south I guess. The closest analogy we have would be the Navaho culture skin-walkers (yee naaldooshii). They are harmful witches that can shapeshift into animals that stalk you at night.
Oh yes, the Yee Naaldooshii of the Navajo...Another creature to fear when the night falls.
If I remember my stuides on this the Navaho word Yee Naaldooshii translates to ''it walks on all fours'' refering to the animal it can shape shift into, perhaps a wherewolf.
That should be werewolf, not wherewolf.
Yep. Usually in the form of a coyote.
That could depend on where they are. LOL
thanks for letting us know
Your welcome, but that's only the Weendigo, there is still the Ghost Wolves to deal with.
Thanks. Just when I was starting to feel safe.
LOL, don't look over your shoulder, SOMETHING may be catching up, Buzz.
I'm safe if I stargaze from my deck, right? It's on the second floor, and there are no stairs to it.
There are a couple of problems with that sandy. Ghost Wolves are shape shifters, so to transform into a bird is not problem for them.
The Weendigo on the other hand may be satisfied to munch on one of your neighbors.
See my reply 4.2.4 to dave on how to defeat a Weendigo.
This is another challenge.
Where do we look for the key to this challenge?
Ok, safe from Weendigo.
Shape-shifters, though. That's tricky.
If you know the story of the Ojibwe Thunderbird the greatest of all Manitous (spirits) next to the ''great mystery'' (the creator) you'll figure out the Ghost Wolves.
See my comment to dave, just above regareding the Ghost Wolves.
It is a deep, rich and wonderful story.
I saw an article from some science journal. The author was kinda sorta banging his head against the wall: "It's getting worse than the TV commentary for a football game! They've used every superlative in the book for this event... What will they add next time?"
Maybe a Weendigo?
It is in the medical journals and is classified as a mental disorder, so why the heck not.
Thank you so much for this extremely interesting information Chief!
I really enjoyed reading this...
Thanks Nona, happy that you enjoyed it.
