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).

Roman information
a.d. VIII Kal. Nov.
8 days before the Kalends of November
Month: October
The a.d. VIII Kal. designation means ante diem or eight “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 October is named for octo, because it was originally the eighth month of the
Roman solar year October was sacred to Mars, Roman God of war.
