January ~ Wolf Moon/Hunger Moon
   The Wolf is the embodiment of the GreatSpirits. The year starts with the outlook of taking the first step of the year on the right path of spirit and along side the wolf. During this month the wolves once roamed the countryside, thus suggesting the name wolf moon. In cold and temperate climates of the Northern Hemisphere, it was difficult to find food during January, thus the name hunger moon. This is a good time for planning your year from a spiritual perspective. What do you want to accomplish this year. What do you "hunger" for? Set some goals and plan how to achieve them.
     
February ~ Snow Moon
   In the south eastern portion of the U.S., February is often the snowiest month. It's often seen as a time to snuggle together around the hearth and share stories, enlightenment and togetherness.This is a good time to focus your magik on home, hearth and family.
     
March ~ Worm Moon
   The world begins to thaw and the ground is cultivated by the return of the worm in the ground. The birds return and feast the bounty of the early spring.  This is a good time for healing magik.
     
April ~ Rain Moon

July ~ Deer/Buck Moon

At the peak of the harvest, farmers can work into the night by the light of this moon. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice are now ready for gathering.
