March Full Moon Snake Moon:

The March full moon is often referred to as the worm full moon. This is due to earthworms emerging from the soil when the ground begins to thaw in March. Here’s a little-known fact about the March full moon: Only South American tribes called it the Snake Moon. In fact, northern tribes would never call it a snake moon—and the reason for that is fascinating. Basically, earthworms did not exist in North America. It would be literally impossible for northern tribes to see the worms appear in March. All the worms you see in North America today are invasive species introduced by colonists.

These earthworms were introduced either with the mistaken intention of helping to fertilize the soil or accidentally with soil used as ballast for plants being transported or ships. The inhabitants did not know that during the last ice age the glaciers in Canada and the northern parts of the United States had spread so far that all the earthworms had completely disappeared.

When the deep ice melted 12,000 years ago, the original forests in these areas grew back and adapted to the loss of earthworms. The growth of these forests became dependent on the duff layer, which is a layer of compost composed of decaying leaves and other rotting organic matter. If you visit one of these native forests, you are asked to clean your shoes and make sure they are free of earthworm eggs.

This is because, although generally harmless everywhere else, earthworms aggressively destroy the undergrowth of a native forest by eating through it. That’s why in North American tribes like the Shawnee, the worm moon is called the sap moon instead, to remind the tribes that they can start tapping the maple syrup. In general, the full moon in March is known as the herald of the beginning of spring and new agricultural cycles.

The Anglo-Saxons even used the worm moon to predict the state of their crops. They called it the Storm Door when it was stormy, a sign that their harvest would fail. However, when it was dry, they called it a barren month, indicating an abundant harvest. One of its other names is the Pure Moon, which symbolizes the purity of early spring. The Pueblo tribe called it the Leafing Moon, while the Shoshone culture called it the Warming Moon. It is sometimes called a raven after the crow and other birds that appear when winter approaches.

At other times, it is called a crusted moon because the snow becomes crunchy as it melts in the sun and freezes in the moonlight. In India, the March full moon is also seen as a symbol of the arrival of spring and coincides with the Holi festival. It’s a fierce celebration where Indian communities around the world wage a massive water war.

Everyone goes out into the street and sprinkles each other with colored water and powders, singing and dancing with strangers and loved ones. Playing and partying together gives you a chance to repair dysfunctional relationships and strengthen existing social bonds as you head into the new year.
