NOVEMBER SECOND WELCOMES the full moon of November, called the Full Beaver Moon. We get our names for our full moons from the Native American tradition, this one because it signals the time before the swamps froze in which set out sufficient beaver traps to ensure having enough pelts to keep warm all winter. It’s also possible that this moon was so-named to mark that time of year when beavers are very active, as in “busy as a beaver,” preparing as they are—as we all are—for winter. How do I know this? I write and record the daily almanac piece entitled The Naturalist’s Datebook, heard exclusively on Martha Stewart Living Radio, Sirius 112/XM 157. Listen up. And see my other TSP almanac pieces here, including a recent piece on how I change my diet at the full moon, as well as at the new moon each month.
