Re: January 2007 has two Full Moons!

A calendar blue moon yes

The moon has some wonderful Medieval names, as it occurs each month:

January: The Wolf Moon
February: The Storm Moon
March: The Chaste Moon
April: The Seed Moon
May: The Hare Moon
June: The Dyan Moon
July: The Mead Moon - Earth hart would like that one
August: The Corn Moon
September: The Barley Moon
October: The Blood Moon
November: The Snow Moon
December: The Oak Moon

The Moon Names site has others from around the world. Very beautiful names they are too.

Forgive me, I digress... back to the Blue Moon
