Wolves, strawberries and sturgeon may not seem connected at first glance, but each one represents a specific full moon tied to the change of seasons. These names, grounded in weather patterns, animal behavior and crop cycles, formed an early system for tracking time long before printed calendars existed. Today, the moonlight and meaning woven into the folklore of the full moon’s many names continue to shape how we read the sky and understand the pattern of the seasons.
