September 30

fixed holy days

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

Day Hearts are Sad:

    Day Hearts are Sad: Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) holy day. It is the day when the hearts of the neteru are sad because of what Seth the enemy of Anty has done.

Meditrinalia:

    Meditrinalia: Roman holy day. The Festival of Meditrina. Meditrina was the old Roman Goddess of wine, health, and healing. The Festival was timed with the first harvest of new wine and was the first time the new wine (mustum) of the year was tasted. During the feast, celebrants pour an offering of old wine and new wine. While drinking from each offering, the individual says “novum vetus vinum bibo, novo veteri vino morbo medeor.” (“Wine new and old I drink, of illness new and old I’m cured.”). Authorities differ on whether this was celebrated on September 30th, October 3rd, or October 11th (possibly different imes in different regions, based on local growing seasons). The October 11 date is part of the festivals of Jupiter.

    The day of Gosh celebrates the Av. Geush, Sentient Life or the Ox-Soul. 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: “(132) On the day of Gosh (the Bull) see to the stables and train your oxen to the plough.” Adarbad Mahraspandan was a famous saint, high priest, and prime minister of Shapur II (309-379 C.E.).

    The second seven days (second week) of each Zoroastrian month celebrates light and nature.

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

Celtic (ancient Druid) information

Ogham tree calendar

Ivy Moon
Day 1

    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). Robert Graves claimed that the Celts used a 13 month tree calendar. Critics dispute this claim. Graves’ claims are based on 19th century work by Edward Davies, who found references to the trees in the 1685 work Ogygia by Ruairi Ó Flaitheartaigh, which was in turn derived from oral history and older works such as Book of Ballymote and Auraicept na n-Éces.

Roman information

prid. Kal. Oct.
(prdie) eve of the Kalends of October
Month: September

    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 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.
