September 3

fixed holy days

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

Creation:

    Creation: Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) holy day. The Great and Little Ennead come forth from the chaotic waters of Nun.

Akwambo:

    Path Clearing Festival: Akan holy day (central region of Ghana).Also known as Akwambo. The Akan or Agona people honor and receive blessings from the deity of the sacred well. The entire community gathers at their ancestral shrines. The chief pours libation to the ancestral spirits, thanking them for protection during the previous year, and asking for more blessings, abundant rainfall, and a good harvest in the upcoming year. At streams or riversides, sacrifices are offered. Alligators and fish feast on mashed yams sprinkled on the waters.
    The people smear their bodies with clay and parade through town sweeping the paths with twigs and tree branches, accompanied by drumming, dancing, and firing of muskets. After sweeping the principle routes, the people go to the durbar grounds and meet with the chief and the elders.
    The youth keep a vigil through the night.

Lakon:

    Maiden of the Four Directions: Hopi holy day. Also called Lakon. The Maidens of the Four Directions are honored in a women’s healing ceremony.
    The myth: The people search for the Corn Maidens. The Eagle, Falcon, and Raven cannot find them. Paiyatuma plays music to attract the Corn maidens from the Summer-land to the south. The Corn maidens come to the Place of the Middle. The Miaden-mother of the North brings yellow corn. The Maiden-mother of the West brings blue corn. The Maiden-mother of the South brings red corn. The Maiden-mother of the East brings white corn. The Corn Maidens bring black corn and seeds of all colors. Then the people see the Maidens no more. Shutsukiya whistles as the frost wind does when the corn is gathered. The chief wears a yellow cloud as yellow butterflies flutter before him and the yellow corn grows unfailingly.

Athena:

    Athena: Greek holy day. The third day of every month is associated with Athena.

Zoroastrian information

    The day of Srosh celebrates the Av. Sraosha, Yazad of “Hearkening” (paying attention). 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: “(135) On the day of Srosh ask a boon of the blessed Srosh for the salvation of your soul.” Adarbad Mahraspandan was a famous saint, high priest, and prime minister of Shapur II (309-379 C.E.).

    The third week (eight days) of each Zoroastrian month celebrates moral qualities.

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

Celtic (ancient Druid) information

Ogham tree calendar

Muin (M)

Vine Moon
Day 2

    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: Androgynous
Planet: Venus
Archetype: Branwen or Guinevere
Symbol: swan

Asatru (ancient Norse) information

Month: Shedding

Roman information

a.d. III Non. Sept.
3 days before the Nones of September
Month: September

    The a.d. III Non. designation means ante diem or three “days before” the Nones (First Quarter 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 September is named for septem, because it was originally the seventh month of the Roman solar year September was sacred to Vulcan (Vvlcan), Roman God of fire.

    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, September (the seventh 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, September 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), September 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.
