There is a full moon today. It is at its fullest at around midday London Time, but should still look lovely and round this evening - so long as we get a clear enough sky to see it!
May's full moon is called Flower Moon according to Llewellyn's 2011 Witches' Calendar and also in the Farmer's Almanac, because most areas, flowers are abundant everywhere at this time.
According to www.pagancalendar.co.uk/, the Medieval name for May's full moon is Hare Moon and the Celtic name is Bright Moon. It would be lovely if it was, indeed, bright enough to spot hares by tonight :)
