November 10

fixed holy days

These holy days are on the same day every year on the solar calendar.

Kali Puji:

    Kali Puji: Hindu holy day. Kali Puji, for Kali, destroyer of evil. Originated in Bengal as variation of Diwali (Nov 16)

Old November Eve:

    Old November Eve: Celtic holy day. Old November Eve, for Scottish Goddess Nicnevin, who rode through the air on this night.

Maimkterion Noumenia:

    Maimkterion Noumenia: Greek holy day. The first day of the Greek month of Maimkterion. According to Plutarch (Mor. 828A), the Noumenia (the first day of each Greek month) are “the holiest of days”.
    According to Jon D. Mikalson (in “The Noumenia and Epimenia in Athens”, The Harvard Theological Reviews, Vol. 65, No. 2, April, 1972, page 291), “In an ordinary year there were twelve Noumeniai, and thus they form a large and important series of “holy” days. There is no indication in the sources that the religious activities on the Noumenia of one month varied from those of another month, and therefore the Noumeniai may be treated as a single homogenous group.
     “The strictmess with which the Athenians preserved the sanctity and the independent identity of the Noumenia is striking. No annual religious festival is attested to have occurred on the Noumenia or to have included it. Not one of the positvely dated meetings of Athenian legislative assemblies such as the Ekklesia, the Boule, or a tribal organization is attested to have occurred on the first day of a month.”

Celtic (ancient Druid) information

Ogham tree calendar

Ngetal (Ng)

Reed Moon
Day 14

    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: Feminine
Planet: Pluto
Archetype: Pwyll, head of Annwyn
Symbol: stone
Folk Names:
Moon of the Home
Hearth Moon
Winter Moon
Moon which Manifests Truth

Asatru (ancient Norse) information

Month: Fogmoon

Roman information

a.d. IV Id. Nov.
4 days before the Ides of November
Month: November

    The a.d. IV Id. designation means ante diem or four “days before” the Ides (Full Moon) of the 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 November is named for novem, because it was originally the ninth month of the Roman solar year November was sacred to Diana, Roman Goddess of the Moon.

    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, November (the ninth month) had 30 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, November had 29 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), November had 30 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.
