The Mansion by Moonlight


They say there’s a man in the Moon. Well, a face, if nothing else. And sometimes, if you look closely, you can make out some of the features. The eyes shine brighter than all the other features when they appear, even brighter than the Moon itself. Occasionally, the Moon appears to smile as it watches the world below, without judgment.

The Moon is almost Full tonight. It’s casting a deep blue light over the Grinds and the Mansion, getting ready for its grand performance on Tuesday.

The Mansion bathed in Moonshine looks cold and mysterious. Like the Moon, its secrets are not revealed simply by looking. And like the Moon, the Mansion only reveals its features when it feels the time is right.

The face in the window? Could be a reflection from the past… an echo… a ghost. Or simply a face.

The Mansion is from another time, and in parts, another realm. The Moon has been a constant companion throughout that time and before, providing a magickal, mystical link to the Universe beyond. The Mansion gathers its energies from the Moon above and the Ley Lines below. And it uses them, also when it feels the time is right.

The Mansion by Moonlight. Cold and mysterious? Looks can be deceiving. Sometimes.

    The moon is bright this time around! Especially where I am with all the snow in yard to reflect it!! Another storm again tonight ( another foot or more). Getting kind of tired of this constant shoveling and the grueling cold. 17 below coming up…Single digits in the day…Ah to have the spring return…Soon I hope. Enjoy your moon and howl brightly TL… VK

      Well, it can’t be long off Spring now, VK.
      The Moon’s bright here too at the moment… although we’re quite lucky snow-wise, we just get a severe frost, that’s all. ‘Tis cold though!
      I shall be howling tomorrow!

    I was taken aback at seeing your face, Tom! That surprised me way more than whatever’s going on with the man on the moon these days.

    Ooh! How mysterious the Moon drenched Mansion looks! The face the window maybe….well…The man in the Moon maybe…It is a mystery as great as the workings of the Mansion itself 😉 And great indeed are the mysteries of the Mansion!
