Full moon names
Folklore gave each moon a name according to its time of year. Their names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred. The information bellow is included in the email notification.
January, The Wolf Moon
The first full moon is a time of silence and sitting by the home fire. As the wild
winter howls, appreciate the warmth of home and family. Now is the time to go within and plan the changes you will make in the spring. Consider now what you will plant. Start a moon journal to record your lunar tides and write down your spring dreams.
February, The Snow or Storm Moon
At this Moon begin your spring cleaning. Think about what needs to be released and let go of in your life and in your home. Burn white candles and purifying incense, sweep out the cobwebs and prepare for the new growth of spring.
March, The Worm or Chaste Moon
This is the Moon of the maiden and Faery folk. Gather the seeds of inspiration and
imagine what they can grow into. Build an Altar to the Moon and bless your garden in the moonlight. Prepare the earth for planting and yourself for change.
April, The Pink or Seed Moon
At the Seed or Pink Moon plant your seeds of magic, whether it be in a garden, in
a pot by the window or simply in your heart. Fill your home with light and flowers,
create colorful eggs to decorate it and bring fertility and joy. On the full Moon plant herbs. Sing in the rain...
May, The Flower or Hare Moon
Now is the time to celebrate life and love. Renew and affirm your sensuality, kindle
the fire of romance. Dance and make love by the light of a bon fire, the glow of red candles, or just the full moons radiance. Free your wild nature...
June, The Strawberry or Dyad Moon
See how things are growing! The old has died away to make room for the new. Create an Altar of roses and honor the beauty of nature. Send flowers to your mother. Hike to the top of a mountain...
July, The Buck or Mead Moon
Bask in the warmth of summer and take time for yourself, relax. Perhaps a moonlit
walk by the sea to gather sacred seashells. Make an ocean amulet necklace for one you love.
August, The Corn Moon
This is the time to harvest the gifts you have nurtured and give to those who are in need. Collect and store fresh herbs for the coming winter. Bake special breads to
honor the God and Goddess of grain and growing things, share them with your family and friends but save some to offer the Earth.
September, The Harvest Moon
Drink a toast to Dionysus, the God of wine and ecstasy - The son of the Moon! Gather with friends to celebrate the vine with a bottle good wine and good cheer. Catch the Moons reflection in your cup and raise it up in salutation, now drink in her essence and feel the presence of the God and Goddess.
October, The Hunters or Blood Moon
In the past this was the time of hunting and storing. The wheel of the year turns like the cycle of life and death. At this Moon the veil is thin, make an Altar to honor your ancestors and ask them to guide and protect you. Carve pumpkins and place candles within to light their way.
November, The Beaver or Snow Moon
Winter's cold descends and outward growth slows. Make this a time for inner growth. Learn a new craft or study thwarts of divination. When the Moon is full do a reading for yourself or your friends. Develop your psychic talents.
December, The Cold or Oak Moon
The time of the Suns return approaches and the Moon awaits her lover. Make wreaths of Holly, Pine, Oak, Cedar or Ivy. On the full Moon burn them as an offering to the Sun and Moon. Create a sacred Moon ornament to hang on the boughs of your yule tree.
The Blue Moon
There are two different definitions for a Blue Moon. A seasonal Blue Moon is the third Full Moon of an astronomical season that has four Full Moons. A monthly Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a calendar month with two Full Moons.
When the Blue Moon occurs plan to do something strange, something you have never done before. Write letters to folks you have not seen for years, plan a surprise for some- one you love. Howl at the Moon!
Super Moon
The term "super moon" was coined by the astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 and refers to either a New or Full Moon that occurs when the Moon is within 90% of perigee, its closest approach to Earth. Because it is closest to Earth, it looks bigger and brighter.
Blood Moon
A "blood moon" happens when Earth's moon is in a total lunar eclipse.
While it has no special astronomical significance, the view in the sky is striking as the usually whiteish moon becomes red or ruddy-brown.
