Sorry, I should have said it’s the same word (phiri) for wolf and hyena while fox shares with jackal! The versions we have feature in numerous folk tales and some proverbs. I think I get it about the moon names and clans. There is a Phiri (hyena) clan in Zimbabwe or Zambia. Around the time of the wolf moon I watched a video on you-tube saying when dogs howl it is a sign that evil forces are approaching..

Greetings Paul! The names for the Moons are taken from various native American Nations and Tribes. Jackals, wolves and dogs are all related on this type of culture/mythology. In my family, we are the Wolf Clan, or Waya. I also resonate with Anpu, the Jackal headed Cosmic Force (God) of discernment, and Sirius, the Dog Star. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for reaching out! One Love, Tchiya at HeruScopes.
