Loki and Sigyn:
Loki and Sigyn: Asatru (ancient Norse) holy day. The Norse trickster deity Loki and his wife Sigyn are honored on this holy day.
Odin and Loki were blood-brothers and Odin (the All-Father) trusted Loki with his secrets. Loki had the dual job of seeking out any secrets that others would try to keep hidden from Odin and guarding Odin’s own secrets.
Njordh, the king of the Vanir, bartered a peace treaty with the Aesir. Njordh allowed himself and his children to be hostage for peace, building great halls in the land of the Aesir.
Many visited the great king Njordh in his hall in order to learn the herbcraft, witchcraft, and peacecraft of the Vanir.
Messengers carried negotiations between Odin and Njordh.
Odin, needing to carry out secret negotiations, entrusted Loki with documents regarding secret trade negotiations with the Vanir.
Loki had always wanted to visit the grand hall of Njordh. As Sky-Traveller, Loki always had an interest in beauty.
Loki was simply amazed at the great beauty of King Njordh’s Vanic hall, especially the great and wonderous gardens.
In the gardens, Loki encountered a beautiful woman among the flowers. The woman was Sigyn, foster daughter of King Njordh. Loki magickally created a beautiful bright purple flower and gave it to Sigyn as a gift.
Over subsequent visits, Loki fell in love with Sigyn and eventually they married each other.
Sigyn’s loyalty and devotion to Loki is legendary. This day celebrates the love between Loki and Sigyn, as well as the love between any two fated soul mates.

The Celtic calendar started out as a moon calendar, but was aligned with the solar year during antiquity. Robert Graves proposed the Celtic tree calendar described here. While widely used by Neo-Pagans, many critics dispute the authenticity. The Beth-Luis-Nion calendar (the one used here) starts with New Year on the Winter Solstice. The Beth-Luis-Faern calendar starts with New Year on Samhain.
Each Celtic tree month (or moon) is named for a Celtic Ogham letter (first line above) and a tree (second line above). All of the Celtic months also had additional folk names (folk names for this month listed below).

Roman information
prid. Kal. Avg. or prid. Kal. Sex.
(pridie) eve of the Kalends of August
Month: Quintilis or Quinctilis or Ivlivs or Julius
The pridie Kalends is the eve of the Kalends (first day of the next month). Pridie (abbreviated prid.) is Latin for “the evening before”.
The Roman month of Quintilis (or Quinctilis) is named for quin, because it was originally the fifth month of the Roman solar year. In 45 BCE, the Roman Senate renamed the month Julius (July), for then Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. July was sacred to Jupiter (Ivppiter), Roman King of Gods.
The earliest Roman months were lunar. According to Roman mythology, the ten month solar calendar aligned to the vernal equinox was introduced by Romulus, the founder of Rome, around 753 BCE. In Romulus’ calendar, Quintilis (the fifth month) had 31 days. Numa Pompilius, the second of the seven traditional kings of Rome, added two more months, for a 12 month year. In Numa’s calendar, July had 31 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious title), reorganized the calendar on the first day of 45 BCE. In Caesar’s calendar (the Julian Calendar), July had 31 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. The Roman Senate changed the name of the month Quintilis to Julius (July) in honor of the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. In 8 BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius’ death and made other minor modifications, resulting in the modern Western calendar. The modern Gregorian Calendar, named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.
