Just realized...
Fox:
We actually have two full moons this month. :omg: Anyone have any good info about that little tidbit?
Crystal Dragon:
Other than the current popular name for this is "Blue Moon"? Nope, doesn't mean much of anything. ;)
earthmuffin:
Interesting... all I know is historically it is considered unlucky. I found a pagan website that suggests it is a time for goal-setting.
Lately, I've been looking up the astrological information surrounding each full moon to help me decide what to focus on for each esbat.
Eternal Seeker:
This is only possible with people using the calendar created by Julius Ceaser. Those who use a Lunar calendar- Modern Jews and Arabs, ancient Celts, a few others, cannot by definition have two full moons in one month.
peace,
ES
dragonspring:
I agree with ES. If we were using a lunar calendar, the modern definition of a blue moon would be impossible. There are two modern definitions of for a blue moon. One is the second full moon in a season and the other, much newer definition, is the second full moon in a calendar month.
I tend to think a lot about what I should work on during a blue moon Esbat. The timing of the upcoming blue moon speaks to me of new beginnings and hope.
