esbats

The Esbats are the Wiccan Full Moon Celebrations. At this time we gather to worship She Who Is.
There are 12 - 13 Full Moons yearly, or one every 28.1/4 days. The Moon is symbolic of the Goddess, as well as a source of energy. Each Moon has a traditional name.
January - Wolf Moon, February - Storm Moon, March - Chaste Moon, April - Seed Moon, May - Hare Moon, June - Dyad (pair) Moon, July - Mead Moon, August - Wyrt (green plant) Moon, September - Barley Moon, October - Blood Moon, November - Snow Moon, December - Oak Moon. A Blue Moon is variable and occurs when the Moon with it's 28 day cycle appears twice within the same calendar month, due to that month's 31 day duration.
