I never thought about calendars until just a moment ago.

There are three kinds. Lunar, solar and lunisolar. It seems lunisolar calendars are the best and that is indeed what pre christian Europeans used. Lunisolar calendar months give information on the moon cycle, where as solar calendars don't and the months are therefor meaningless (may as well just count the days from 1 to 365 then tbh). Also lunisolar pagan calendar was tied to the winter solstice, unlike the Christian calendar that does not tell us about it accurately.

The Christian calendar is basically garbage as well as being inferior to the modern Indian and Chinese calendars as well as pre christian European calendars.

The problem is that I'm European, not Chinese or Indian so I don't want to use their calendars. Also there's not complete information about the pagan calendars and they also varied by region which makes things more complicated.

We need an alternative to the Gregorian/Christian system that reflects our European heritage and gives us accurate information of the winter solstice and moon cycles as well as the seasons.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is actually a nice thought, wish I had any suggestion.

All I know is Germanic peoples had 13 months in their years.

Well, basically a calendar is a system used to measure time. I have the strong belief that besides community-calendars, individuals must forge their own calendars based on the weeks of their cycles, be they 3-day weeks or 13-day weeks.

That being said, since you are asking about ancient calendars: you could be interested in something called the Runic Calendar. It is based on a 19 year Metonic cycle, but I only started reading about this recently and don't understand it too well yet.

From the Ancient Calendar, there were many depending on the location. On Celtic calendars New year started after Samhain, whereas in Roman calendar the year began in Spring, and notation was used in a system a bit too complicated, which is why it was discarded (depending on the month you count the day before the Kalendas, or first day of the month, or the day before the Idus, or the 13/15 th of the month). Ancient Sumerian calendar was based on 360 days, and others use calendars of 280 days as that is the gestation period of the human babies in the womb.

As >>11685 has said, Pagan calendars had 13 months because they were lunar calendars. Varg Vikernes offers a Calendar on one of the MYFAROG pdfs: https://myfarogdotorg.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/the-myfarog-calendar.pdf

You can check also this site for info on some festivals, if that's how you intend to measure time: http://pagancalendar.co.uk/

Last but not least, I want to ask something I consider relevant to this thread: The marking of time. As you know, we mark this year as 2016 due to imposition by foreign forces. Some people propose the use of a Runic Era notation, so today it would be 2166 RE, but there are others (Ab Urbe Condita, Holocene Era…). Which one should we use, and why? The numbers we use are based on arabic symbols, yet there's no doubt ancient germanic peoples used numbers, but I haven't found how they marked numbers.

Oh, yes, I forgot to add, some further explanations from Varg's calendar can be found on some of the articles on the Burzum.org site

Here's the traditional Icelandic calendar with traditional holidays.

>>11688

It's still used used simultaneously with the Gregorian calendar.

Today is the second of Tvímánuð.


 No.11691

You mean a new calendar for religious purposes? That would be fine.

If you mean a new civil calendar, we're getting into goofy French Revolution autism levels. The Julian/Gregorian/fucking Unix time is good enough for straight up time reckoning.

>individuals must forge their own calendars based on the weeks of their cycles, be they 3-day weeks

Hmm… I'm going to ask my boss about this…

Here you can see the names of calendar terms in several Germanic languages:

Here's what the months used to be called in the Scandinavian languages up until the 19th century or so.
