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
Non. Nov.
the Nones of November
Month: November
The Nones was originally the first Quarter Moon (half of a moon, a quarter of the lunar cycle) of the
month in the early Roman lunar calendar. The Latin word nones meaning “ninth”. When counting days,
the Romans included both the start and end day (in the modern West we skip the start day). Using the
Roman counting system, there were always nine days (eight using modern counting) between the Nones
and the Ids of any month. The actual average time from the lunar First Quarter to the lunar Full Moon is
about 7.4 days, but the Romans rounded up. The Nones occurred on the seventh day of March, May,
July, and October, and on the fifth day of all other months.
The Roman month of November is named for novem, because it was originally the ninth month of the
Roman solar year November was sacred to Diana, Roman Goddess of the Moon.
