For our ancestors, the moon was a guide, a marker, and a rhythm keeper. Every moon carried a name that reflected what was happening on the land at that moment. These names were rooted in observation, survival, and deep relationship with our Mother Earth.

When we speak these old moon names today, we are echoing voices from long ago. Each moon still offers us a chance to pause, notice the time of year, and reconnect with the slow turning of the Earth.

Below you’ll find the name, lore and seasonal magic of each full moon. Let’s walk through the year together.

Let the rhythms of the season guide your magic, your rest, and your renewal.

As the winter solstice approaches, we begin to feel a natural pull inward—much like the trees that shed their leaves and retreat into their roots. In the hush of winter, trees and plants will naturally conserve their energy, holding quiet strength beneath the frozen earth as they prepare themselves for the bloom of the coming year.

We too are creatures of the seasons. Our spirits respond instinctively to the shifting light, craving rest, reflection, and stillness. As winter settles around us with it’s heavy, enchanted cloak, it asks us to embrace gentle, interior forms of power, the kind that flicker softly like a candle in a windowsill.
