Worm Moon

What Is a Worm Moon?
The Worm Moon gets its name from the earthworms that come out when the soil warms up. The worms provide food for birds and other animals.

It happens around the changing of the seasons, from astronomical winter to spring in the Northern Hemisphere.


Early Spring and New Beginnings
The Anglo Saxons called the March Full Moon the Lenten Moon. Lenten is derived from Germanic languages and means spring. The Lenten Moon has also given its name to the Christian Lent period before Easter.

The March equinox has had great cultural significance through the times, and many cultures still celebrate new beginnings, rebirth, purity, cleaning, and chaste or lean living around this time.

Awakening of Nature
Native American tribes named this Moon after early spring and the awakening of nature: Crow Moon for the crows coming back, Snow Crust Moon after the crust which forms on top of the snow as it melts and re-freezes, and Sap or Sugar Moon for when the maple sap runs.

The Celts called it the Wind Moon and Plough Moon from preparing the fields for the growing season. In Old English, it was known as the Chaste Moon, referring to the purity of the spring season.

Do to the unstable conditions around the world, I've been going through all my ham gear, And getting my portable station in order.

I usually keep it in Faraday Cage, Metal Box to protect from EMP's, Electro Magnet Pulse. My collection of portable radios.

Current administration could at any time getting us into a kinetic war directly. Not worrying but being ready, To monitor things around the world if the need arises. Not that i can do any thing but would be nice to know whats going on when the grid power and internet goes down.
