The Wolf Moon, the year's first full moon of 2024, is occurring in January. During this time, winter is intensifying, and people are staying indoors more often. The cold nights around this full moon are significant for spiritual connections. Historically, there was a belief in a connection between the bright moon and the sounds of wolves in the winter forest. The bright full moon and the howling of wolves in January have led to the naming of the Wolf Moon. Native American tribes named the January full moon the Wolf Moon due to the onset of the wolf season, characterized by nocturnal howling, during this cold month. The "Wolf Moon" is visible through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on January 25, 2024.
