November's Full Beaver Moon
Many moons ago, when hunting was very important for the preparation of the winter season, Native Americans would set traps for beavers. Beavers provided useful furs that would help the cold temperatures be more bearable. November was a good month for hunting beaver as the swamps were not yet frozen. So as tradition had it, November's full moon became known as the full beaver moon.
Another interpretation suggests that the name full beaver moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter and can be seen more than ever. Sometimes this full moon is referred to as the frosty moon, which if you live in any northern state, makes sense.
