Hare Moon tonight!
Eyes to the skies
Hello,
Just zipping into your inbox to offer a quick reminder to look up at the sky tonight.
May’s Full Moon will rise tonight (12th May) bringing with it a boost of lunar energy and a dusting of magic.
In a month that’s already full to the brim with magic, tonight’s full moon is set to be bring even more of it. So I’ll be looking up at it over the next few nights and sending you a wave, wherever you are.
I also thought you might like to know some of the beautiful names for this Full Moon:
Many people call this moon the Flower Moon, as it ties in with flower blooming season across North America and the UK.
But there are plenty of other very beautiful names for this moon too. According to the Almanac and the Farmers Almanac some of the traditional Native American names for the May Full Moon are:
Budding Moon (Cree)
Moon Of The Green Leaves (Lakota)
Field Maker Moon (Abenaki)
Frog Moon (Cree)
Moon of the Shedding Ponies (Oglala )
Egg Laying Moon (Cree)
Corn Moon (Winnebago)
Mulberry Moon (Creek and Choctaw)
Meanwhile, the Celtic or Old English names for the May Full Moon reflect the season of new life and fresh beginnings.
Milk Moon
Hare Moon
Mothers’ Moon
Whatever you call it, I hope it shines bright and clear for you.
Enjoy the moon and I’ll see you again on the 1st June with your next Monthly Notebook.
Until then - from one moon watcher to another,
Take care,
Vicky
Lovely names, I think my favourite is Moon of the Green Leaves. It was shining so bright outside our kitchen window last night.
I knew that there is a full moon tonight but didn't realize the significance attached to it. Thanks 🙏
