Worm Moon in March |
Worm Moon, Atmore, Alabama |
Worm Moon, Edmonton, Canada |
The March Full Moon is the last of Winter with Spring just two days away. Native Americans call it "Worm Moon" not because earthworms are coming out but beetle larvae worms emerge from thawing bark of trees at this time. "Worm Moon" not mentioned in Bruchac's children's book 13 Moons on a Turtle's Back but third Moon is called "Maple Sugar Moon" where sap flows from Maple trees. Buried underground it's cold and dark with worms crawling all over me but I'm not afraid for I am a sparkling Moonshine Stone! Peter Y. Chou Mountain View, 3-18-2022 |
