When the moon hits your eyes
like a huge pumpkin pie
It isn't love
It's a full moon
And that moon has a name.

Before modern time, many cultures across the world gave the full moons names. These names reflected the season of the year. In America, the Native American tribes gave names to the full moons. Each tribe had their own names for the full moons, which is one of the reasons different sources give different names for the full moons. Blow you will find the name of the Gregorian calendar months with the best known names of the full moons.

So, I decided to make a timeline. I wish I did that as I went but I am just now making the timeline. I am too busy with this story for NaNoWriMo prep though. Thanks again!
