Zoroastrian information
(Fasli calendar)

Month of Frawardin (first month)
Day of Ohrmazd
Day 1

    The day of Ohrmazd celebrates the Av. Ahura Mazda, the Lord of Wisdom and Zarathustra’s name for God. Special prayers from the Khorda Avesta are recited in honor of the day’s spiritual being.

    Activity for the day from the Counsels of Adhurbadh, Son of Mahraspand: “(119) On the day of Ohrmazd drink wine and make merry.” Adarbad Mahraspandan was a famous saint, high priest, and prime minister of Shapur II (309-379 C.E.).

    The first seven days (first week) of each Zoroastrian month celebrate Ahura Mazda and the Amesha Spentas (literally translated Beneficent Immortals). They are the highest spiritual beings created by Ahura Mazda.

    The Fasli, or seasonal, calendar is one of three Zoroastrian calendars still in use.

Celtic (ancient Druid) information

Ogham tree calendar

Faern (F)

Alder Moon
Day 4

    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).

Polarity: Masculine
Planet: Mars
Archetype: Bran or Arthur
Symbol: pentacle
Folk Names:
Moon of Utility
Moon of Efficacy
Moon of Self-Guidance

Asatru (ancient Norse) information

Month: Lenting

Roman information

a.d. XII Kal. Apr.
12 days before the Kalends of April
Month: Martius

    The a.d. XII Kal. designation means ante diem or twelve “days before” the Kalends (first day or New Moon) of the next month. When counting days, the Romans included both the start and end day (in modern Western culture, we skip the start day). When the Romans switched to a solar calendar, they continued to use the lunar day names.

    The Roman month of Martius is named for Mars. March was sacred to Mars, Roman God of war.

    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, Mars (the first 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, Mars 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), Mars had 31 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. 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.
