A Lunar Year ~ Cold Moon

Merry Meet,

A little late but I will backdate this post to the correct date.  This is my overview on the Cold/Wolf Moon that occurs in January.  I love Dorothy Morrison's work so a lot of my correspondences will have come from her books.  Check here for a basic format of a Full Moon ritual.


Cold Moon
A Lunar Year

Full “Cold” Moon

The Cold Moon occurs in January and is also named the Wolf Moon after the wolves that wander into village in search for food due to predator food supplies being low. Another reason is for togetherness and family, as wolves live in packs and keep the same family for life.  Families are depended on for love, wisdom and moral support.  Spend some quality time with blood relatives and extended family, and remember they have helped to make you who you are.  Give thanks, show support and appreciation.
