The full moon of the Native American Indians

It is strived for to be politically correct.

The Moon is seen as »grandmother moon« amongst the Native Americans, whereas the opposite pole forms »grandfather sun«. This reflects the attribution of the moon to the feminine principle of creation. This is the case in many cultures, however, there are numerous examples, where the moon is being considered the masculine aspect.

During the naming of the different full moons in the course of the year, names of the indigenous people emerge as well, like for example of the North American Algonquin. The December full moon is called »Cold Moon«, January full moon »Wolves Moon« etc.

    What a Wonderful Page .
    And what a Miracle …
    I was – without really knowing – looking for this .

    A Support through the Expression of Moon Magick .

    I was feeling lost here , during the Night ,
    in a Cold Room in Berlin .

    Even if in Gratitude … I was feeling isolated .

    Moon _ Earth … I am .
