November’s Full Moon continues the Harvest Moon cycle, also called The Hunter’s Moon mainly because deer are abundant at this time, but alternately known as the Frost Moon or The Beaver Moon. The Frost Moon is pretty self-explanatory – frost is indeed evident as the days grow colder. The Beaver Moon gets its name from watching these rodents preparing for winter and insulating their lairs (and because they were targeted by hunters in earlier times because their pelts made for warm winter wear). ....

There is a chill in the air, making Air the prominent element during this Full Moon, the perfect time to honor Lucifer, who brings Light to the dark nights and also Inspiration and Enlightenment. ....

Again, since this is still Fall, other ways of enhancing your ceremony this time around is the Feasting, the abundance of Autumn’s offerings – pumpkin pie immediately comes to mind, as do apples and cider, or cakes or cupcakes made with a cinnamon-y Spice flavor. OR, in honor of the “Frost Moon”, serve up some ice-cold smoothies or ice cream treats. Or adding Autumn or deer or beaver-themed decorations to your overall celebration space. ....

For 2009, this Full Moon falls on Monday, Nov. 2. This is close enough to Samhain to tap into those energies as well!....
