raven moon
Enquiring minds want to know, "What is the name of this months full moon?"
So far, I have heard several different names...making me wonder why there
is a discrepancy. I have learned that most names of full moons have their
origin in Native American or European folklore-as the naming of astronomical
items do, even into pre-history! Take for instance the names of most of
the northern constellations. They can be traced back as far as the Greeks!
As far as I know, it is impossible to prove the definitive origin of these
names, but it is fun to wonder. I prefer the Algonquin Tribe Moon Names,(gee
I wonder why) so I will call this months beauty "Raven Moon"
