high priest, and prime minister of Shapur II (309-379 C.E.).<br />

The Celtic calendar started out as a moon calendar, but was aligned with the solar year during<br />

antiquity. Robert Graves proposed the Celtic tree calendar described here. While widely used by<br />

Neo-<strong>Pagan</strong>s, many critics dispute the authenticity. The Beth-Luis-Nion calendar (the one used here)<br />

starts with New Year on the Winter Solstice. The Beth-Luis-Faern calendar starts with New Year on<br />

Samhain.<br />

Each Celtic tree month (or moon) is named for a Celtic Ogham letter (first line above) and a tree<br />

(second line above). All of the Celtic months also had additional folk names (folk names for this month<br />

listed below).<br />

Asatru (ancient Norse) information<br />

Roman information<br />

a.d. III Non. Nov.<br />

3 days before the Nones of November<br />

Month: November<br />

The a.d. III Non. designation means ante diem or three “days before” the Nones (First Quarter<br />

Moon) of the month. When counting days, the Romans included both the start and end day (in modern<br />

Western culture, we skip the start day). When the Romans switched to a solar calendar, they continued<br />

to use the lunar day names.<br />
