I knew that the full moon a few nights ago was called Wolf Moon but wanted to know why. Direct from Google…..
………”The Wolf Moon corresponds with January’s full moon—and the first of the year!—on Thursday, January 25,” explains yoga and spirituality expert Alex Plante.
As the first full moon of the calendar year, the January Wolf Moon ushers in a deeply reflective period where winter tightens its frosty hold and people retreat indoors. The long and cold nights surrounding this lunar phase have inspired spiritual connections for millennia. Ancient cultures and indigenous tribes perceived a link between the moon’s glow and the nighttime cries of wolves in the winter forest. This fusion between the striking brilliance of the full moon and the haunting howls of the wolf pack gave rise to the January moon becoming known as the “Wolf Moon.”
