What is the Wolf Moon?
The Wolf Moon is the first full moon of the year. It is believed to have a Celtic and Old English origin. The name comes from the fact that the sound of wolves howling increases around this time. In the past, this was thought to be due to hunger caused by winter. However, it is now known that wolves howl mostly for social and hunting reasons.
The Wolf Moon goes by many other names, too. Check out some of them below along with their origin:
- the Moon after Yule (Anglo-Saxon)
- Freeze Up Moon (Algonquin)
- Center Moon (Assiniboine)
- Hard Moon (Dakota)
- Spirit Moon (Ojibwe)
- Frost Exploding Moon (Cree)
As the first full moon of the year, the Wolf Moon ushers in transformation, change, and introspection. Much like the wolf, it is also a time of courage, determination, energy, and motivation. When you're getting ready to take on and tackle the new year, this is the full moon you want to focus on.
The Wolf Moon brings with it the hunger for new desires. You're now feeling ready for something new and exciting. You feel determined to get exactly what you're looking for in the new year. This is a time for new leaders to emerge and new ground to be broken.

Howlite
Howlite is a potent guardian stone. You can use it to protect what you value – physical possessions and spiritual values. Howlite reinforces memory and stimulates the desire for knowledge. It helps relieve stress and calm rage fits. It also urges us to overcome our patterns of selfishness and limiting behavior.
Howlite is an excellent meditation stone bringing the feminine energy of renewal to a session. It is often used to control rage, pain, and stress. As such, it is known as a calming stone for the mind, body, and soul. It is said to be a helpful stone for a good night's sleep.
Red Jasper
Jaspers have been revered by ancient peoples and civilizations throughout the world as sacred and powerful stones of protection, for both the physical and spiritual realms. Historically, Red Jasper was known as a stone of vibrancy and endurance, a talisman of warriors, and a promoter of justice, protection, and life. It staunched the blood of wounds, stirred the pulse, and increased fertility.
Today, Red Jasper is still known as the Stone of Endurance, a gentle, but vital, stimulator of chi, or Life Force, bringing physical strength and energy, stamina, focus, and determination. Its steady frequency calms the emotional body creating a lasting, stable energy for improving health or overcoming illness.
Wear or carry Red Jasper to alleviate stress and reconnect with Earth’s grounding energies. Its cleansing effect eliminates negativity, returning it to its source, and stabilizing the aura. It is an ideal worry or rubbing stone for soothing the nerves and restoring balance.
Tiger's Eye
Tiger's Eye is a most ancient talisman, mysterious and powerful, revered and feared – an "all-seeing all-knowing eye", thought to grant a wearer the ability to observe everything, even through closed doors.
Keep Tiger's Eye as a stone of luck and good fortune to attract a steady flow of money to the home. It is ideal for entrepreneurs and those setting out in business for the first time. It warns against complacency and emboldens one to "step out of the box" in order to grow and challenge one’s artistic, creative talents, and physical abilities.
Wear or carry Tiger's Eye for increasing insight and perception in unfamiliar places or circumstances, and for protection from the negative intentions of others. Tiger’s Eye sharpens the senses, helping one pay attention to details and prepare for positive action.
Pyrite
Pyrite is a unique protector, drawing energy from the Earth through the physical body and into the aura. It creates a defensive shield against negative energies, environmental pollutants, emotional attacks, and physical harm.
This is a protective, shielding stone and is excellent to wear or carry as an amulet to deflect harm and danger. It is especially helpful when one is away from home or performing hazardous work.
Pyrite is a crystal of positive energy and is extremely helpful for melancholy and thoughts fixed on misfortune and despair. It relieves anxiety and frustration, and as a mirror to the self, reveals the causes behind these emotions and promotes a search for solutions.
Mookaite
Mookaite carries an invigorating frequency of strength and vitality and increases Life Force within the physical body. An Aboriginal Mother Earth stone, it is gaining in popularity throughout the world for its healing capacity, and for empowering one to feel and connect with the electromagnetic energy currents of the Earth.
Use Mookaite to connect with elemental Earth powers for increasing self-confidence, self-worth, and to realize one's full potential. It is an ideal tool for overcoming procrastination by revealing the true reason for avoiding certain tasks and bringing the motivation needed to resolve the issue. Its constant energy keeps one focused and well-grounded while soothing the mind and quieting distracting thoughts.
Mookaite is a wonderfully supportive stone for going beneath the surface of emotions to find core issues that are creating an emotional upset. It allows for a calm and stable frame of mind in which to examine and release these negative experiences and inspires confidence and the desire for new experiences.
