DID YOU KNOW?
While most often known as the Wolf Moon, because it was the month of the year when Native Americans noticed wolves howled in hunger, the first full moon of the year also is known as the Old Moon. It also has been called the Snow Moon, though that name is usually associated with February’s full moon.
