Why is it called a Strawberry Moon, or a Harvest Moon? Seasons of the Moon answers questions like that, gathering dozens of full moon names and the stories behind them.
Each name comes from cultures including Native American, Inuit, Celtic, medieval English, Hindu, Chinese, Japanese and pagan traditions, and each is paired with a photograph. Keep it on a coffee table, read the entry for each month's moon, or give it to a stargazer, photographer or friend who loves folklore. It is a gentle way to notice the moon each month and feel connected to the people who named it long before us.
Written by Michael Carabetta, the book combines short, evocative explanations with photographs for a poetic portrait of the moon.
Many cultures gave each month's full moon a name tied to the season, such as the Harvest Moon near the autumn equinox or the Strawberry Moon in early summer. These names helped people track time through the year.
