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
a.d. III Non. Feb.
3 days before the Nones of February
Month: Februa or Febrvarivs or Februarius
The a.d. III Non. designation means ante diem or three “days before” the Nones (First Quarter
Moon) of the month. When counting days, the Romans included both the start and end day (in modern
Western culture, we skip the start day). When the Romans switched to a solar calendar, they continued
to use the lunar day names.
The Roman month of February is named for a feast of purification. Romans called February the
“Month of Purification”. During the festival of Lupercalia, priests would beat barren women with a
goatskin thong called a februa (“means of purification”) in the belief it would make them fertile.
