Flower Moon: Full Moon in Scorpio

I could not think of a more fitting or fortuitous day to launch the website than on the flower moon.  I am so happy to be launching Salt Circle with you all!  There is so much to share and exciting news about events coming soon but, for now, a little bit about the Flower Moon and how it reflects you this Month.

The Flower Moon is the traditional name for May's full moon, derived from Native American and colonial American naming traditions. This name beautifully captures the season when flowers bloom abundantly across North America.

Folklore and Meaning

The Flower Moon marks a time of fertility, growth, and abundance. Many indigenous tribes celebrated this moon as it signalled the height of spring and the time when plants were in full bloom. It's a period of:

• Renewed vitality and energy
• Fertility and abundance
• Celebration of nature's beauty
• Preparation for summer harvests

Some tribes called it by other names reflecting similar themes: the Blooming Moon, Budding Moon, or Egg Laying Moon. European settlers adopted these naming traditions, incorporating them into their agricultural calendars.
