The Wolf Moon




Walking down through the woods, with the sun was setting behind me in a rose quartz sky, I was spellbound when I reached a glade and saw tonight's 'Wolf Moon'. This is the name given to the first full moon after the 'Yule Moon'. According to Native American folklore it is thus named to represent the wolves howling in the cold midwinter. If I hadn't known that I was facing east I could easily have mistaken this golden globe for the setting sun. It was mesmerising with an ethereal, icy aura -a natural phenomenon that truly takes your breath away. The full moon will be exact at 21.21GMT. I've just been out to have a look, the sky is cloudless & the moon is now glowing ice white. The frosty garden is floodlit and enchanted. Other names for the moon are Luna, Selene & Isis - I have always known that we are lucky to live with the companionship of our snow-white dog Isis, who was born on New Year's Eve, just before the Wolf Moon!
