Full Moon Ceremony. The time interval between similar lunar phases—the synodic month—is on average about 29.53 days, just about once monthly. "Full Moons are traditionally associated with temporal insomnia, insanity (hence the terms lunacy and lunatic) and various "magical phenomena" such as lycanthropy. Psychologists, however, have found that there is no strong evidence for effects on human behavior around the time of a full moon.They find that studies are generally not consistent, with some showing a positive effect and others showing a negative effect."

Hi Flygirl, that's a great photo and a very unique and creative take on this week's theme. The Full moon effect is something that I have often wondered about. Very interesting. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great evening.
Love both photos. That ceremony looks like fun!
Thanks, all! Annie, I went to this as a guest. Had never been but enjoyed the sponntaneity of it. That it is based on Native American tradition was equally appealing to me.
Wonderful photos -- I'm fascinated by full moons. I still have to believe they have influence over the way we behave!
Great take on the theme! I beg to differ with the psychologists though. Some of my kids at school go bonkers during a full moon! :)
