The year is divided by twelve months, during each month there is a Full Moon. In those months that contain two full moons. The second full moon is called a "Blue Moon" and normally occurs in the month of May. Although considered rare, it does occur once about every three years.
The American Indians of the Northeast region of the United States and as far west as the Central United States, Indian tribes tracked time by the full moon and had a name for each full moon phase.
The full moon that we will witness today, January 3rd is called the "Full Wolf Moon", the description according to Indian folklore is as follows: "Amid the zero cold and deep snow of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages." This moon was also called the "Old Moon", "Moon After Yule". In some tribes it was known as the "Full Snow Moon" which is also the name of the full moon that will occur on February 2nd.
Keeping this folklore as part of our lives, I would expect to here that the "Wolf Clan" showed up in the front yard of the "Buffalo Clan" and under the guidance of the full moon, all of them start howling in unison until the "Buffalo Clan" responds, the neighbors respond, or the police respond. In the event of harassment, plead your case for freedom of speech and that you cannot be inhibited from expressing your Indian Traditional rights.

February 2nd "Full Snow Moon"

**By coincidence, Ranger Bill's birthday is November 19th - perhaps that is his fascination and frequent layovers in Beaver, Utah as he crosses our great nation in his 18 Wheeler.
As the "Grand Master" (I had another vision)I will be declaring by Proclamation the Celebration of "Full Blue Moon" on May 31, 2007. Information pertaining to such will be forthcoming as the "vision" becomes clear to me under the phase of the "Full Flower Moon"
