There are thirteen Lunar
months in the year, the Full Moon is near the mid point of the Lunar Month.
The Lunar Moons listed here may not always occur as given because the first
New Moon of a new Lunar Year may not coincide with the first day of the
first Month. Please double check with a new Lunar Calendar. This listing
is more for general information than definitive dates.
Full Moon Listing
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. Return
February, The 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.
Return
March, The 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. Return
April, The Seed Moon At the Seed
Moon plant your seeds of magick, 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... Return
May, The 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....
Return

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... Return
July, The 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. Return
August, The Corn Moon This is a
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. Return
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 of 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.
Return
October, The 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. Return

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.
Return

of the Suns return approaches and the Moon awaits her lover. Make wreaths
of Holly, Pine, Oak, Cedar or Ivy. On the full Oak 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. Return
The Blue Moon This is the second
Full Moon which falls within in a single month, it varies each year. 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 someone you love. Howl at the Moon! Return
