Full Moon (Wolf)

The Wolf Moon, the first full moon of the year, typically appears in January and is steeped in mystery and ancient tradition. This moon earned its name from Native American and European folklore, where it was associated with the howling of wolves during the coldest nights of the year. The haunting cries were thought to symbolise hunger, community, or the longing to connect—a fitting tribute to the stark beauty of winter.

The Wolf Moon is an invitation to pause, reflect, and embrace the stillness of the season. It marks a time for setting intentions for the year ahead, much like how wolves survive and adapt in the wild. This celestial event reminds us of resilience, cooperation, and the importance of reconnecting with nature. Whether it’s gazing at the moonlit sky or holding a small ritual to honour the lunar cycle, the Wolf Moon encourages mindfulness and a sense of wonder.

As the full moon illuminates the dark winter nights, it’s also an opportunity for communities to gather, share stories, and deepen their bond with the natural world. Many traditions hold ceremonies under the light of the Wolf Moon, such as journaling, meditating, or setting personal goals for the months ahead. It’s also a time for storytelling, often inspired by myths and legends tied to wolves and the moon.
