Albert Ayler (Light in Darkness) ;)

WKLB is possible. The orientation is there and as you have pointed out, something of a pattern in the rest. I'd just be a bit uneasy,with the orientations below 90 degrees, about ignoring the possibility of an indication of the 'rising' sun. I don't know. How far does the sun has to rise before it has travelled 5 degrees south? On the other hand, the similar grouping on the opposite side (110ish) would seem to support the lunar theory.

That full moon is a striking object. Had a quick search last night and found this, presumably not untypical...

"Eclipses of the moon are quite often recorded. The annalists sometimes describe the phenomenon as "the moon turning to blood" and viewed it with foreboding. The aurora borealis was also recorded on a few occasion, and was likewise regarded as a bad omen...(goes on, examples of plague, famine, cannibalism etc.)"

Edit. Obviously got that arseways, should be the other way around - above 90 degrees.
