Lackey *12 Aug 1999, 22:52* I could find no mention of Spading Moon, but the following is a compilation of various lists of moon-month names found on the web. The traditonal moon name in the OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC is the first name listed for each month. The names are often American Indian in origin and will need to be adjusted for latitude and hemisphere. I suspect the Spading Moon would be equal to Planter's Moon, aka the Seed Moon, Plow Moon, Planting Moon. FWIW January - Wolf Moon February - Snow Moon, Hunger Moon, Opening Buds Moon March - Worm Moon, Maple Sugar Moon, Plow Moon, Seed Moon April - Pink Moon, Frog Moon, Growing Moon, Seed or Planting Moon, Planter's Moon May - Flower Moon, Budding Moon, Planting Moon June - Strawberry Moon July - Buck Moon, Blood Moon, Hay Moon August - Sturgeon Moon, Moon of the Green Corn, Barley Moon September - Harvest Moon, Wine Moon October - Hunter's Moon, Moon of Falling Leaves November - Beaver Moon, Snow Moon December - Cold Moon Roy ---
