The History of November

In Latin, the word “novem” means nine, giving November its name as the ninth month of the Roman calendar. In Finnish, November is named “marraskuu” translating as “the month of the dead” in reference to the death of plants and crops as the colder months set in. Technically speaking, November is still classed as fall in the Northern Hemisphere, but many countries start to experience a sharp drop in temperature and even some snow fall. Aside from the changing climate, most people recognize November for its shorter days, with the clocks moving back an hour and the evenings growing darker much earlier. Native Americans named the full moon in November as the “Beaver Moon” as in this month, beavers were particularly active building their dams in preparation for the winter ahead. As Beavers are nocturnal creatures, they are also said to have worked under the bright light of the full moon too. Not only this, but November was once the peak time of the North American fur trade in which Beaver pelt was a popular commodity. Other than this, November is a month filled with excitement for the many celebrations lying ahead. Lots of people take the opportunity to begin planning for Christmas in November and in North America, Thanksgiving is a November festival filled with joy and a buzzing atmosphere.

Thanksgiving

In many countries and religions across the world, the month after harvest is a time for celebration and gratitude for the earth’s abundance. However, the Thanksgiving holiday in North America is arguably the most prominent November festival out there. It stems from the time of the Potestant Reformation and replicates a harvest feast held between the English colonists and Wampanoag Native tribe in the 1600s. The holiday is steeped in tradition and symbolism with the food served at Thanksgiving mirroring the harvested food of the era. Roast turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberries and pumpkin pie are all classic Thanksgiving dishes enjoyed by Americans and Canadians alike. So, all in all, November is typically a very busy time of year involving plenty of planning and preparation for the season’s festivities. That said, the month has an air of excitement as we enjoy good food and spend more time with family.

What is the Birthstone for November?

Birthstones first became a concept in the 16th Century in eastern europe. Individuals at this time believed that those who wore or carried the stone associated with their birth month would be subject to good fortune, protection and shielding from negative energy. The tradition has since spread across much of the world and people nowadays still enjoy both wearing and gifting their loved ones with their specific special birth gems. With that in mind, November’s is lucky as it has two birthstones; topaz and citrine.

Topaz

The origins of the word “topaz” is debated, but may possibly have roots in ancient Greek or the Sanskrit language. Throughout history, Topaz was prized for its many powerful qualities, as it was believed it could heal the terminally ill and give strength to the weak in battle. In Europe, it was even thought that Topaz could ward off evil spells and shield from demonic entities. However, where topaz was most revered in the world, was in ancient India. It was believed that, when worn next to the heart, topaz would ensure longevity in life, youthful beauty and a sharp mind. As such, topaz became increasingly popular amongst the aristocratic castes of society across the rest of the world, with the Russian royal family taking a particular liking to the fiery gem. 

Citrine

Gorgeously gold citrine earns its name from the Latin word for lemon and is adored for its unique coloring. Its golden hue varies from the palest of yellows to incredibly rich, deep browns. Citrine has long been associated with energy and strength as its nickname, “the healing quartz”, explains exactly how the gem is supposed to be used. For centuries, it has been thought to be important to keep citrine close when recovering from illness or attempting to gain strength. As a type of quartz, citrine also omits vibrations believed to defend against negative energy. It may be for these reasons that citrine was one of Queen Victoria’s favorite gemstones and played a central role in her assortment of royal jewelry. 

November Birth Month Flower

The notion of birth month flowers is thought to have originated in Roman times, with Romans gifting the birth month flower as a birthday gift to the gods. Nowadays, knowing the birth month flower of our friends and family is a nice way to add an extra personal touch to an already stunning birthday bouquet or celebratory wreath. November’s birth month flower is the beautiful chrysanthemum. 

Chrysanthemum 

Chrysanthemums are a beautiful and impressive fall flower. Just as the rest of the garden is dying in time for winter, the vivid chrysanthemum remains tall and proud, injecting life into November’s relatively bleak surroundings. As the flower is just so striking, they make a popular addition to floral displays and bouquets. Not only this, but chrysanthemums are hugely popular in China, their place of origin, and even have a festival in honor of them. Their beauty is clearly revered across the world. In terms of symbolism, definitions vary according to each of the various colors that the flower can be. For instance, white chrysanthemums represent purity, pink represents new love and yellow represents peace. For the month of November, however, chrysanthemums generally symbolize friendship and loyalty. This makes the flower a wonderful gift to give someone with a November birthday and in need of some extra loving support.

Best Scorpio Love Matches

For Scorpio, it’s go hard or go home in terms of love. This mysterious, guarded sign wants a deep connection and life long commitment with their partner. Scorpios aren’t the type to test the waters and take things slow - they jump in headfirst and are prepared to fall hard. Sensuality and passion is also a must for a Scorpio in a relationship, as it is these factors that keep the passion alive long term. That said, as Mars rules Scorpio and Mars is the planet of drive and ambition, Scorpios can be known to take these traits to the extreme in love. They can sometimes be overly controlling and have trouble letting go of the reins. For Scorpio, these are signs of unadulterated love, but for the partners on the receiving end, it can become overwhelming at times. Scorpio also has a keen sense of instinct that allows them to truly understand their partner; as a naturally intuitive Water sign, they are human lie detectors and can pinpoint deceit from a mile away. It may take awhile to earn a Scorpio’s trust, but once they let their walls down, there is no turning back.
