| Moon Names |
January : Wolf Moon or Cold Moon- a blanket of snow covers the Great Mother as the cold winds howl. This is a time to focus on home and family planning the events and planting of the upcoming spring. A time of quiet reflection.
February: Snow Moon or Storm Moon- this is a time of anticipation as you look toward the nearing spring and warmer weather. The last of winter storms rage around us as the wheel of the year slowly turns to spring.
March: Seed Moon, Chaste Moon or Worm Moon- this is the time of the Maiden Goddess and the faery folk. The ground in now warm enough to begin early planting as the earth worms assist in loosening the soil for seeds.
April: Hare Moon or Pink Moon- this relates to fertility and the Goddess Ostara. This is a time of growth and wisdom. Spring in all it's bounty is in full force.
May: Faery Moon or The Flower Moon- a time to celebrate life and love as we light the Beltaine fires. Romance is in the air and all of nature is singing. What a wonderful time for walk in the garden.
June: Mead Moon, The Strawberry Moon Or Dyad Moon- we say goodby to Spring as the wheel turns to Summer. A traditional time of beginning, many marriages take place during this month. This is a time of abundance, success and joy.
July: Herb Moon or The Buck Moon- the heat of the summer is upon us now and the days grow long and languid. This is a time many people choose to vacation as the summer stretches before them in what appears as a never ending time of warmth.
August: Barley Moon or the Corn Moon - the time of first harvest as we gather the first herbs, fruits and vegetables of our labor. This is also the time that the grain harvest is begun. An excellent time to bake bread in thanks to the bounty of our harvest.
September: Wine Moon or the Harvest Moon- harvest has now begun in earnest as we gather and store the bounty of Mother Earth for the long cold season ahead. This is traditionally the time of grape harvest in many parts of Europe. Share a glass with friends and bless the bounty of the harvest.
October: Blood Moon or Hunters Moon- the time when meat is gathered for storage. Give thanks to the spirit of the animals for their sacrifice. This is also a time of remembrance of ancestors and family traditions. Ask for the blessings of the ancestors for the new year. The veil is thin, leave an offering of food and drink to help the spirits on their way.
November:Snow Moon or Beaver Moon- The cold of winter descends on Mother Earth and the growth cycle comes to an end. This is the time to give thanks to Mother Earth for her bountiful harvest.

December: Oak Moon- a time of rejoicing as the Oak King returns to his reign. The light begins once again to grow in its length.
