Interesting facts on the full moon phenomenon;

1. Different names and meanings
-through the times and the different cultures, many names have been given to full moons across the lunar calendar, mainly from Native American culture .
July; Meadow Moon
-the July full moon (there’s a full moon for every month), is also known as Meadow or Blessing Moon, marking a great time for relaxation, meditation, growth and transformation. It is also associated with increased strength, courage & determination.

2. Folklore Associations
-there are myths about myths that include its relations to insanity and insomnia but the most famous yet, is probably the one referring to a person’s supernatural ability to transform into a wild creature during a full moon (lycanthropy).

3. Animal Behavior
-due to the bright moonlight, during a full moon, some animals find it much easier to see and communicate and harder to search for their prey.

4. Lunar Influence on us
-various studies have shown that a full moon might affect one’s mood negatively if they are sensitive to the moon’s gravitational pull as well as their sleep (bad quality or lack of it).

5. The full Moon in Crete
-in the ancient times, Pasiphae (deriving from pasi, meaning “all” in ancient Greek and phaos/phos, “light”) , wife of King Minos, was said to be an immortal daughter of the sun-god, Helios, also called “the moon goddess” by the Cretans, quite similar to Selene (ancient goddess and personification of the Moon) and known to be a skilled practitioner of witchcraft and sorcery, like her siblings.

-after her husband failed to sacrifice a cow to Poseidon (a great offence to the god), he cursed her to fall in love with one of his finest bulls, later mating with him (hidden in a hollow cow-like structure built by Daedalus) and resulting in the birth of the famous Minotaur (or less known as Asterios/the Starry One). Both him and the bull with whom Pasiphae mated, were associated with the constellation of Ta**us.
