The June moon - typically the last full moon
of spring or the first of summer - is traditionally called the Strawberry Moon. With origins traced to the Algonquin people
this was a sign to commence gathering wild strawberries.
Following European settlement alternate names
included the Meade moon and the Honey moon were introduced.
Because the Roman goddess
of marriage is Juno – namesake of this frequent month of marriages - we have the honeymoon.
