Create-Your-Own Monthly Moon Traditions Workbook! {Free Printable}
It’s mid-November, and the full moon is right around the corner! This month we’re celebrating the Beaver moon! Or, wait… the Frosty moon! No, it’s the Snow moon, or is it the Tree moon?
The answer…?
It’s all of them, (or possibly none of them) depending on your beliefs, religions, culture, or where you live.
You ever wonder why there are SO many names for each monthly moon?
I did when I first started learning about the abundant power of the moon. To be honest, it was really confusing. How would I know how to celebrate each full moon if I couldn’t even figure out which one it was?
So I dug deeper, and I discovered that like many other ancient traditions, each culture gave the moons a different name. The moon names that you hear within the spiritual community are gathered from Celtic tradition, Native American folklore, the Farmer’s Almanac, and the Wiccan path. That’s quite the melting pot, isn’t it?
These groups named each moon organically based on what the weather was during that time of the year, what activities they were doing to support their lifestyle, animal behavior, and the plants that grow during that month.
These moon names are highly personal and relevant to the people who named them. Because of this, I’ve taken to naming the moons according to the events, memories, traditions, and weather that I’ve experienced in my life during each of moons.
I call the July moon the “First Kiss” moon because it’s when I had my first kiss with a really special person. Because of this, I often celebrate this moon by doing love rituals with items like rose quartz, rose petals, patchouli essential oil, cherries, red candles, and jasmine tea. You might choose to call it the “Fireworks” moon if you live in the USA and celebrate Independence day during July. In that case, you could use red, white, and blue candles to honor the moon, add a scoop or two of glitter to your ritual baths to represent fireworks or sparklers, and serve a homemade Sangria on the night of the full moon because that’s a drink you make often in July.
What family traditions do you honor in your personal life during the month of November? What activities do you gravitate towards this time of year? How can you bring those special traditions to your full moon ritual? Get creative and don’t worry if you’re celebrating the full moon differently than others in your spiritual circle. This is YOUR practice, and the more you connect with the essence of who you are, the more powerful you’ll become.
