The day of Mah celebrates the Av. Mah, The Moon. 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: “(130) On the day of
Mah (the Moon) drink wine and hold converse with your friends and ask a boon of King Moon.”
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.

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.
