JAN 2016 / Photo Fun / #8 Full Wolf Moon

1-23-2016 @ 11:52p...I was sick and almost forgot about this month's full moon.

According to some Native American tribes, January is the month of the "Wolf" moon, so named because in the freezing cold and deep snows of midwinter wolf packs howled hungrily outside their villages. In some tribes, this was the Full Snow Moon, however, most applied that name to February's full moon. Lesser known but equally appropriate names include Old Moon, Moon after the Yule, Ice Moon, Hunger Moon, Cold Moon, and the Moon of the Terrible (Sioux). The Lakota Sioux called it “The Moon of Frost in the Teepee”. The Cheyenne call it “The Hop and Stick Game Moon”. The Taos call it “The Man Moon”
