The Beaver Moon
The Beaver Moon occurs each November, traditionally marking the time to set beaver traps before the harsh winter sets in, according to Native American and European lunar naming traditions. In 2025, this full moon will light up late autumn nights, casting a bright, silvery glow over the landscape as wildlife prepares for winter. Its name reflects both practical seasonal activities and the deep connection between human culture and the natural cycles of the Earth.
