Day 1<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 />
