| ...in tune with nature! The Celts used a Lunar Calendar that consisted of 13 months, each 28 days in length. The moon is perhaps humankind’s oldest form of marking time. Each month of the Celtic Lunar calendar bears the name of a tree, which also stands for one of the consonants in the Celtic ‘tree alphabet’. There are basically two different versions of this Lunar calendar: the Beth-Luis-Nion (which begins on the Winter Solstice, the one used for this site) and the Beth-Luis-Fearn (which begins on Samhain). |
