February’s Full Moon

Because the February full moon is the snowiest month in the United States, it is often known as the full snow moon in Native American cultures. These ancient tribes named this moon after the way trees split in the cold or how people had to sit side by side around a fire to stay warm. Even the Celts called it the Ice Moon. As expected, the full moon of the coldest month of the year is also known by darker names, such as Luukuu.

The Cherokee tribe called the full moon in February the Moon Moon because by then the tribe’s winter food had generally dwindled to the point where people had to gnaw bones and cook bone marrow soup to survive. For the same reason, the Kalapuya tribe called this month the month of lack of food. It is also known as the Hunger Month and the Hunger Month. Perhaps because of this month’s association with death, the Cherokee tribe communicates with their dead ancestors during Lukuu. Didanawiskawi, or medicine man, organizes a medicine dance for the community.

Fasting and rituals for the dead were also common practices. But not all cultures associate February’s full moon with extreme cold and death. The Hopi tribe calls it the Moon of Cleansing and Renewal, which is very appropriate since the full snow moon is usually the first full moon of the year according to the lunar calendar.

Lunar calendar cultures, especially East Asian cultures, tend to associate the full snow moon with new beginnings for this reason. For example, the ancient Chinese called it the rising moon. In fact, the February full moon festival is the culmination of the Lunar New Year in various East Asian countries. In China, the full snow moon is celebrated as the Lantern Festival, also known as the Yuanxiao Festival, which is the 15th day of the Lunar New Year.

During this festival, Chinese people shoot kongming lanterns into the sky admiring the full moon and Tangyuan sticky rice balls, usually filled with sweet dough. Round balls symbolize family unity and bring happiness to the whole family. Many East Asian cultures also typically light lanterns and bonfires to celebrate the February full moon.

According to an ancient Chinese legend, shortly after the introduction of Buddhism into China, 17 deities were seen flying in the sky during the first full moon of the new year. Shocked and excited people lit bonfires and lanterns to get a better view of the divine beings. They did this year after year, but for practical reasons – to ward off pests and pray for a good harvest for the coming spring.

In Korea, where February’s full moon is known as Daeboreum, these fiery structures are called “houses of the burning moon.” During Daeboreum, Koreans hike in the mountains despite freezing temperatures to catch a glimpse of the rising moon on the first full moon of the new year. According to legend, the first person to accomplish this feat will be granted their dearest wish.
