Episode Two: Naming the Full Moons

Welcome to the second episode of The Journeying Witch Podcast. In this episode, we are turning our eyes upward to the night sky to explore how we name, honor, and connect with the Full Moon - especially when working with the unique rhythms of the Southern Hemisphere.

If you’ve ever felt a disconnect between inherited Northern traditional moon names and the actual landscape right beneath your feet, this episode is your invitation to anchor your practice in real-world observation and authentic resonance.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• Traditional Northern Moon Names: Unpacking the history behind inherited colonial North American and European moon titles (like the Harvest or Snow Moon) and why reciting them down under can feel energetically out of sync.
• Southern Hemisphere Alternatives: Practical, nature-led suggestions for renaming the full moons using local seasons, native flora, fauna, and the land’s natural rhythms on Wadawurrung Country and beyond.
• The Zodiac Frame: How to bypass hemisphere confusion altogether by aligning your moon magic with universal astrology and the zodiac signs.
• Lunar Anomalies Explained: A clear, practical breakdown of what Blue, Black, and Blood Moons actually are and how to work with their heightened energies.
