I've carried around a slip of paper with moon names on it for years, perhaps because I'm a Moonchild astrologically. I don't put much stock in that sort of thing, but I do like our lovely lunar light in all its hues. I got this particular list at http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/Portland/climate/sunmoon.html

January: Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, January Full moon is the WOLF Moon.

February: Since the heaviest winter snowfalls occur in February, native tribes of the north and east called the February Full moon the FULL SNOW Moon. Some tribes also refer to the February Full Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, as the harsh conditions, made hunting very difficult.

March: As temperatures warm and the ground thaws, earthworm castings appear, heralding the return of robins. Thus, March has the WORM MOON.

April: Comes from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of earliest widespread wildflowers of spring. Thus, April has the PINK MOON. Some coastal tribes call the April Full moon the Full Fish Moon, as it is the time the shad swam upstream to spawn

May: In most areas, flowers are abundant during this time. Thus, May has the
FLOWER MOON. Other names: Corn Planting or Milk Moon.
June: Universally know to every Algonquin tribe as the STRAWBERRY MOON. In Europe, this is the ROSE MOON.

July: Full Moon is the BUCK MOON since July is the when new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. July's 2nd Full Moon (a blue moon) this year is the Sturgeon MOON since sturgeon were most readily caught in late July/early August.

August: The Full FRUIT or BARLEY MOON was reserved for August full moon for those years when the Harvest Moon falls very late in September.

September: FULL HARVEST MOON is the full moon closest to equinox. In Harvest season, farmers can work late into the night under the moonlight. At this moon, corn, pumpkins, squash, beans and wild rice (chief Indian staples) are now ready for gathering.

October: FULL Hunter's MOON, leaves fallen and deer are fat. Fields are reaped so hunters can easily see fox and other animals which come to glean.

November: FULL BEAVER MOON. This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Also, BEAVER MOON: the beavers are now actively preparing for winter. BEAVER MOON also called FROSTY MOON.

December: FULL COLD MOON or, FULL LONG NIGHTS MOON. Winter cold fastens its grip and the nights are the longest and darkest.

I'll have to check out that Nick Drake music, 'sounds nice.
