The Secret Storyworld

06/10/2025

Tonight! The Super Harvest Moon-- the largest and brightest moon of the year will shine like a lantern over the valley. It’s the first of three supermoons in 2025, when the Moon is in perigee, its closest point to the Earth.

In Ashlandia Storyworld, that can only mean one thing:
A portal opens.
A story is ready to be rewritten.

🌕 Moonlight Mission
When the Harvest Moon rises closest to Earth, lore says that the light can:
illuminate the past so old stories can be harvested...
Or light the path forward, so new stories may grow.

🪶 Tonight’s quest is yours
🌕 Go outside and find the moon.
📖 Open your journal and write or draw your answer to this:

"What story in my life is ready to be harvested, and what new story do I want to plant in the moonlight?"

Drop your reflections below or tag us to share your moon story. 🌕💛
And remember: the Harvest Moon shines its light on everything. Even the stories you’ve forgotten.
