November’s full moon has far fewer names than many of the other lunar months: the Full Beaver Moon, or the Full Frosty Moon. As you may have guessed, Full Frosty Moon is a moniker given because November is typically the first month to receive a winter’s frost. Full Beaver Moon refers to a North-Eastern Native American observation: in November, beavers are preparing for winter. According to FalmersAlmanac.com, before the swamps freeze in November is the best time to hunt beaver; an animal whose water-proof pelts were highly valuable to new-england natives.
