This image is of the regular Moon taken during a lunar eclipse by my good friend Mark Simpson.Picture taken in the north of England in late 1999.

No computer enhanced colours used here - with theEarth in the way the Moon really does reveal her true Red self.

Now lets see if a cod Gloranthan explaination can be come up with....

Gotcha.

When the Red Goddess completes her ascension she will be in harmony with great Yelm and then will reveal her inner, White, nature. But Yelm, though he loves his new consort will occasionally stray back to his old wife, and then Earth comes between Sun and Moon, the Moon's angry Red nature reasserts itself. But Yelm, while fickle does not flit with Ernalda for long and harmony will return to the heavens.
