March – Worm (Blood) MoonMarch’s full Moon goes by the name Worm Moon. For many years, it was thought that Worm Moon’s name referred to the earthworms that appeared when the soil warms in spring, inviting the robins and other birds to feed—a true sign of spring. However, the Naudowessie (Dakota) and other Native American tribes say the name Worm Moon refers to a different sort of “worm”—beetle larvae—which begin to emerge from the thawing bark of trees and other winter hideouts at this time.
Alternative March Full Moon Names include: the Eagle Moon, Goose Moon (Algonquin, Cree), and the Crow Comes Back Moon (Northern Ojibwe). The Sugar Moon (Ojibwe) marks the time of year when the sap of sugar maples starts to flow; The Wind Strong Moon (Pueblo) refers to the strong, windy days that come at this time of year; and The Sore Eyes Moon (Dakota, Lakota, Assiniboine) highlights the blinding rays of sunlight that reflect off the melting snow of late winter.
Another alternative name is the Sugar Moon. Sugar maples are tapped in late winter; sap buckets gather the sap, which is later turned into maple syrup
