I saw the full moon last night, very beautiful in a crisp cold night sky, and wanted to share a traditional name for the Full Moon of January: Wolf Moon. I went to look for a vintage picture of a wolf in my collection, and all that I found were rather scary illustrations from fairy tales and Aesop's fables. Yes, I know wolves can be pretty scary (have you seen "The Grey"? ~
shudder) but for our moon wolf I wanted less of the Big Bad Wolf and more of the wise wolf spirit. I found this gorgeous photograph, which has been generously released into the public domain by its author, Retron at the wikipedia project, and can be used for any purpose. Click the picture to enlarge, resize as needed, and enjoy.
