Folklore about the moon is widely divergent. Recently studies have been made, although it seems that for each fact, there is an equal and opposite fact. Some studies show that dog bites are more prevalent on the full moon, but others studies disagree.

Cutting hair on the Full Moon increases thickness, reminiscent of tales of the Werewolf.

The Full Moon brings a higher tide when it pulls the oceans.

The moon has been the subject of fascination since early man. Today many traditions still exist in reverence of Luna, the closest planetary body to earth. Hence, along with superstitions, each full moon of the year has a name.

The date of Easter is the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon. This occurs after the vernal equinox, and isn't really scheduled by any truly calculated positions of the moon. It is just approximated, in actuality.

Early winter claims the Old Moon, Wolf Moon, Moon After Yule, and the Ice Moon. Midwinter honors the Hunger Moon, Storm Moon, and Candles Moon.

Late winter the Lenten Moon coincides with the Vernal Equinox. Other names are Crow, Crust, Sugar, and Sap Moon.

Early spring has the Egg Moon, and the Pink Moon. Other names are Sprouting Grass, Fish, Seed, and Waking Moon.

Late Spring goes to the Flower Moon, and the Strawberry Moon. Other names are Honey, Rose, Hot, and Planting moon.

Another Equinox, Summer, heralds the Hay and Buck Moon. Thunder, and Mead Moon are also near to the Summer Equinox.

In Fall there is the Autumnal Equinox which is followed by the Harvest Moon and the Hunter's Moon. Travel, Dying Grass, and Blood Moons are also in Autumn.
