The Full Buck Moon:

In North America, the First Nations tribes, particularly the Algonquin people, used the moon to track time, assigning names to every full moon that reflected seasonal activities. The territory of the Algonquin people stretched from Lake Superior to the eastern seaboard, resulting in a rich variety of names across the community.

July, known as the quintessential summer month, features the full moon commonly referred to as the Buck Moon. This name reflects the phenomenon of bucks in the North American wilderness beginning to grow new antlers, symbolizing elegance and strength in the ever-changing cycle of life.
