In honor of the Super Blue Blood Full Moon I've compiled [almost] all the paintings I've saved of it's ominous glow and illusion, enjoy.
...the Treasure House of Images, the sphere of Maya, Illusion."
As you immerse yourself in the images, think upon the Sun and think of life, and just the same in stark contrast, upon the Moon and death. There is no life without death, nothing can flourish if nothing can decay.

Alfonso Simonetti
Proper life? It's nothing but a folly
No bonds I feel with values deemed worthwhile
With fellow folk no solidarity
From daylight's meet trifles I choose exile
Moon, moon, my dear friend
Moon, my dear friend in solidarity
My heart longs to bathe in thy radiant dew
But where from come thoughts making me estranged
From this life I have to bitterly chew?
In the crowd I'm alone, am I deranged?
Pious and wise alike sing the barren tale
Should I turn to magic if all else fail?

When the moon casts ominous glow
And wild winds blow
The dreary raven sings
To the rhythm of flapping wings
Dance their round the Three in Silk
Ethereal, fair, and white as milk
The Three in cotton do the same
All Six call the Devil by his name
As long the church tower you can see
Six unholy sisters they will be
