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

a.d. XVI Kal. Oct.
16 days before the Kalends of October
Month: September
The a.d. XVI Kal. designation means ante diem or 16 “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 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.
