    No..it does not mean that you're a witch....what it does mean is that there is very cold air high up in the atmosphere and it's causing the water vapor to freeze into tiny crystals...and as a result...the moonlight shines off of these crystals of frozen water vapor....and create what's called the "Halo Effect".

    There's absolutely no sorcery behind it.....it's purely a naturally occurring thing.

    If you see a ring or halo around the moon and other people looking at the same time don't see one it might mean you have a problem with your eyesight. Some conditions can cause that, and they can be corrected.

    No, it means there are ice crystals in the earth's upper atmosphere that are refracting the light from the moon to form the illusion of a ring or halo around it.

    Where I live, it usually means precipitation (rain or snow) in 24 hours or so. The light of the Moon is going through the ice crystals in a cirrostratus cloud, which is normally found at the leading edge of a warm front.

    The Nimbostratus cloud (the warm-front cloud that produces rain) is about a day behind the cirrostratus.
