Itβs the Winter-finding full-moon tonight and the first full-moon of the winter season, which in English lore started after the equinox last month. As usual my family-hearth will hold a ritual to honour the ancestors and the changing of the season.
As Bede stated βThe old English people split the year into two seasons, summer and winter, placing six months - during which the days are longer than the nights - in summer, and the other six in winter. They called the month when the winter season began Η·intirfylliΓΎ [Winterfylleth], a word composed of "winter" and "full moon", because winter began on the first full moon of that month.β
