I really love tables to gather information together for future reference. Tables are handy that way. Anyway, I’ve gathered together some moon information from various sites and created a table. It doesn’t have everything in it, just the stuff I’m interested in. I’ve included some references I used below to click on for more information. Even within each category you’ll find there are many names used for each month’s Full Moon. I find one that resonates and then go from there..
