Valentine’s Day (and Lupercalia) planning

‪In 2020, the February full moon is on Sunday, February 9, so if you have a date for February 14, they’re probably not a werewolf.‬

‪Not a lunar werewolf, anyway.‬

‪(If YOU’RE the werewolf, you’ve already taken this into account on your calendar.)‬

Contingency plans

“Keep your hands where I can see ‘em!” he snarled.

it was then I knew the hours and hours I had spent learning how to do magic with my toes had not been wasted.

You are more than your trauma

He fled to the form of wolf, trying to outrun his trauma, which always kept pace with him. Then one day, he heard the moon whisper, “You are more than your trauma,” and on that day, he discovered he was free to be human once again, if he chose.

Werewolf alert

Werewolves: for those of lunar influence (or inclination), the next full moon appraches on Tuesday, November 12 at 8:34 a.m. EST, BUT it’s already 92.5% full NOW.

For everybody else: watch out for werewolves as you’re driving these next few days. They may be moon-besotted, and not paying enough attention to traffic.

99.3%

The moon won’t be completely full for another day, but it’s 99.3% full now, which is close enough for most werewolves.

Modern wishes

Modern wishes aren’t what they used to be. These days, it’s “Have a wonderful day!” or “Enjoy that cake!” Used to be, wishes and gifts involved big and dangerous things like turning stones into bread or making everything you touch turn into gold.

Admittedly, those seldom went well.
