Sturgeon,
a large fish of major bodies of
water, were most readily caught during this month. A few tribes called
it the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rose, it appeared reddish
through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain
Moon. Persephone,
virgin Goddess of rebirth, carries
a sheaf of barley as a symbol of the harvest.
