The name Wolf Moon is traditionally associated with midwinter in the Northern Hemisphere, when food was scarce, and wolves were more likely to be heard howling near villages. Historically, this behavior was not a sign of aggression but of survival—wolves calling to one another to coordinate, locate their pack, and endure the harsh winter months. Over time, these haunting winter sounds became woven into seasonal folklore, and the January full moon came to symbolize hunger, resilience, instinct, and communal bonds forged in the cold.
