Day 25<br />

The day of Ashi celebrates the Av. Ashi, Blessings or Rewards. Special prayers from the Khorda<br />

Avesta are recited in honor of the day’s spiritual being.<br />

Activity for the day from the Counsels of Adhurbadh, Son of Mahraspand: “(143) On the day of Ard<br />

buy any new thing (you need) and bring it home.” Adarbad Mahraspandan was a famous saint, high<br />

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

The fourth week (eight days) of each Zoroastrian month celebrates religious ideas.<br />

Celtic (ancient Druid) information<br />

Ogham tree calendar<br />

Day 16<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 />

Polarity: Masculine<br />
