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

The a.d. XIX Kal. designation means ante diem or 19 “days before” the Kalends (first day or New

modern Western culture, we skip the start day). When the Romans switched to a solar calendar, they
continued to use the lunar day names.
