Day 4

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).

Polarity: Masculine
Planet: Jupiter
Archetype: Dagda

Moon of Strength
Moon of Security

Asatru (ancient Norse) information

Month: Midyear

Roman information

Id. Ivn.
the Ides of June
Month: Ivnivs or Junius

The Ides was originally the Full Moon on the early Roman lunar calendar. The Latin word idus means “half division” of a month and comes from an older Etruscan word meaning “divide”. The Ides occurred on the 15th day of March, May, July, and October, and on the 13th day of all other months. The Romans considered the ides to be a particularly auspicious (good) day, dedicated to Jupiter, the Roman King deity.

The Roman month of Junius is named for Juno. June was sacred to Juno, Roman Queen Goddess.

The earliest Roman months were lunar. According to Roman mythology, the ten month solar calendar aligned to the vernal equinox was introduced by Romulus, the founder of Rome, around 753 BCE. In Romulus’ calendar, June (the fourth month) had 30 days. Numa Pompilius, the second of the seven traditional kings of Rome, added two more months, for a 12 month year. In Numa’s calendar, June had 29 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious title), reorganized the calendar on the first day of 45 BCE. In Caesar’s calendar (the Julian Calendar), June had 30 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. In 8 BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius’ death and made other minor modifications, resulting in the modern Western calendar. The modern Gregorian Calendar, named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.
