The Grey Street Almanac — October 2026

The Grey Street Almanac Is Here: October and the Wild Half of the Year

October's Grey Street Almanac is out from beneath the Dreaming Tree.

This one is about the month the year stops pretending — when the trees give up their green and show you the gold that was underneath all along, and everything lets go of something without being the least bit sorry.

Inside: why the Hunter's Moon comes by its name honestly (and why Arizona gets it on Sunday night while the East Coast gets it Monday), the Anishinaabe Falling Leaves Moon, where Hallowe'en actually came from — All Hallows, turnip lanterns, and a "thinning veil" that turns out to be newer than you'd think — rosemary for remembrance, a soul cake recipe that's been baked for four hundred years, a roasted-root hearth tea, and a quiet practice for keeping someone at the table.

Light a candle, pull the blanket up. I'm glad you're here.
