fixed holy days
These holy days are on the same day every year on the solar calendar.
Day of the Blaming:
Day of the Blaming: Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) holy day. It is the day of the blaming by his majesty of this neteru. Do not keep a fire burning in the home on this day.
Alban Eiler:
Alban Eiler: Celtic holy day. The celebration of the Equinox, which in 2007 falls on September 23 and falls on September 22nd in 2008 and 2009.
Mabon:
Mabon: Wiccan holy day. One of eight Wiccan Sabbats. Many Wiccans and Neo-pagans celebrate Mabon on September 21st, although traditionally it is celebrated on the autumn equinox (usually September 23rd in the northern hemisphere, sometimes on September 22nd). Also called Harvest Home, Feast of the Ingathering, Thanksgiving, or Autumn Equinox.
The name of this holy day may possibly come from the Welsh Mabon ap Modron, the divine son of the divine mother. He is the same as the British god Maponos. Roman soldiers garrisoned at Hadrian’s Wall worshipped Apollo Maponos. The Anglo-Saxons called September the “Haleg-monath” (or “holy month”). Neo-Druidicals call this day Alban Elfed, a term created by Iolo Morganwg.
Wiccans and Neo-pagans hold a feast and/or ritual of thanksgiving for the fruits of the earth and share their harvest to obtain the blessings of the deities (gods and Goddesses) through the winter months.
Mabon is the middle of three harvest festivals, the Wiccan Sabbats of Lammas (early harvest), Mabon (middle harvest), and Samhain (late harvest).
Burning Times:
Burning Times: Dorcas Hoar confessed as a Witch at Beverly, New England (Mass.), on September 21, 2012. Her execution was delayed.

The day of Spandarmad celebrates the Av. Spenta Armaiti, the Holy (or Beneficent) Devotion, who presides over the Earth. Special prayers from the Khorda Avesta are recited in honor of the day’s spiritual being.
Activity for the day from the Counsels of Adhurbadh, Son of Mahraspand: “(123) On the day of Spandarmad till your land.” Adarbad Mahraspandan was a famous saint, high priest, and prime minister of Shapur II (309-379 C.E.).
The first seven days (first week) of each Zoroastrian month celebrate Ahura Mazda and the Amesha Spentas (literally translated Beneficent Immortals). They are the highest spiritual beings created by Ahura Mazda.
The Fasli, or seasonal, calendar is one of three Zoroastrian calendars still in use.

Day 20
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. XI Kal. Oct.
11 days before the Kalends of October
Month: September
The a.d. XI Kal. designation means ante diem or eleven “days before” the Kalends (first day or New Moon) of the next 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 September is named for septem, because it was originally the seventh month of the Roman solar year September was sacred to Vulcan (Vvlcan), Roman God of fire.
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, September (the seventh 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, September 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), September 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.
