  • During this month the winter cold begins to fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest.
  • The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the Midwinter night is indeed long, and because the moon is above the horizon for a long time.
  • It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule.
