The time when the whole moon can be seen is called the Full Moon.

In our year, we have thirteen Full Moons.
That means that one month a year will have two Full Moons.
This makes that month more powerful than the rest.
This second Full Moon in a month is often called a Blue Moon. Blue Moons can come in any month.
Each month's Full Moon has it's own name. The name corresponds to the time of year in which it occurs and allows those who hold Esbats to have a focus for practice.
An Esbat is a monthly full-moon celebration. Both covens and solitary practitioners celebrate Esbats, but it is not required.

Interesting. I like the full moon, perfect time for night walks and re-energizing and relaxing and thinking.
