The Vikings had a lunar calendar which means they counted the months from new moon to new moon or full moon to full moon. The word month is actually still referred to as the moon in Scandinavia, which in Danish and Norwegian is called måned. The Viking calendar reflected the seasons: How high the sun was in the sky, access to food and fertility. The year was divided into two equally long periods - summer and winter. A person's age was counted in the number of winters he or she had lived. The Germanic peoples adapted the system introduced by the Romans by substituting the Germanic deities for the Roman ones (with the exception of Saturday) in a process known as interpretatio germanica. The date of the introduction of this system is not known exactly, but it must have happened later than AD 200 but before the introduction of Christianity during the 6th to 7th centuries, i.e., during the final phase or soon after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. This period is later than the Common Germanic stage, but still during the phase of undifferentiated West Germanic. The names of the days of the week in North Germanic languages were not calqued from Latin directly, but taken from the West Germanic names.

I am new to this channel, I've always considered myself an atheist, but when I was younger I ran almost full tilt into a lamppost and knocked myself out, I swear I saw a man walk past us with a spear, but none of my friends saw him. Was years and years ago before I even knew anything about the pagan religion. So it's always been in the back of my mind when I did start learning about it. Still consider myself an atheist, but if I was to believe in anything... This would be it, and I love these videos I found on your channel, you gained yourself another Patreon.
Welcome to the channel. This channel is really badass.
If it brings any comfort... you're not the only one to have an experience like this. :)
I’m a pagan and an atheist.
This is actually almost exactly how I came to this stuff too!
I've been a pagan for almost 30 years but I still usually tell people that I'm atheist, mostly to avoid dumb personal questions. I don't see the gods as actual people or the myths as literal, so I'm not even lying. ❤
The calendar is great. That must of taken quite a bit of time and effort to design. I love, and greatly appreciate, that you've listed all of the things 'to do' for each of the holidays/events. Thank you for your efforts Lucas, it's a wonderful design and thank you Michael, for doing all of the research and producing it as well. 🙂
The holidays and full moons are also excellent times for working magic, if you're in to that sort of thing.
Absolutely beautiful calendar! Cannot wait to get one.
Been looking for a calendar like this everywhere. So glad I found it here. Thanks to both of you!
Thank you so much this is really interesting and I’ll try to follow this calendar the next year around. Maybe you can make a video series out of it where you explain every holiday short like this like a week before the holiday comes so we can make preparations.
Also what id like to see is the mythology in the year cycle. You spoke about baldrs death and rebirth. Maybe there are other stories we can pin to a specific time of the year. This would be really interesting and deepen the understanding of the holidays. Thank you so much for your help
Excellent work as always, really appreciate the effort put into finding the sources
Love it!! Can't wait to get one. Many thanks Lucas and Michael for all it took to get this done!!
Just placed my order! Thank you for your effort put into this piece. Can't wait to recieve it.
I gotta say I only recently came across your channel. And I absolutely love your videos... extremely informative and definitely entraining.. thank you for sharing your knowledge...❤
This is great! Thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into this!!
This is incredible. I'll be getting your calendar and all the sources you used to make it!
I felt this video was quite informative and interesting and as accurate as one could expect......but there's just something about how the old Norse tribes looked at the year that make this video so intriguing. Job well done 😎
I can't wait to get one!! Absolutely great gift for our community! You guys did an epic job!!
Absolutely Beautiful!! Can't wait to order one. Thank you.
Love that this is a thing now! i was going to buy some books at the same time but you've got to many readers it seems and your sold out on pretty much everything.
Just completed my order! looking forward to sharing this beautiful work of art with my family! Everything on your site looks amazing i can't wait for the books to be back in stock. Maybe a future update for your site to add a option to send email when this item returns to stock.
Thank you for everything you do! Thank you to the community assisting you to make these awesome thing possible!
Oh Aye! Lucas, great job! Heapinging dose of gratitude- you're just simply awesome for helping Michael with this grand vision!
Great Work! Happy New Year!
As my studies have progressed: I enjoy this channel, more and more. The references are appreciated.
Your hospitable and down to earth approach is refreshing. Thank you for your good efforts, brother.
Well done, Lucas and Michael. Love the effort, it's great and informative.
Thank you, Lucas O'Reilly! ❤️
Amazing job, and great respect to all involved
Thank you for everything Lucas!
For once I had all the sources you listed in the description and had read them or skimmed them before the video release haha. The holidays was my current project on trying to find out more info so video came at a perfect time.
I know you've referenced Rune Rasmussen before on your solar cross video. He has some great info on holidays. And his book is amazing. Also Robert Sass who focuses on anglo Saxon heathenry has quite a bit of info on holidays as well from a continental heathen and anglo Saxon perspective.
Thank you, Lucas O'Neil!
Thank you Lucas, it greatly appreciated. I ordered mine
The kissing under a blossoming cherry tree is still practiced in some Slavic countries, at least in the Czech Republic.
Astonishing. My birthday is Oct 10. What a gift as a new start and a new way to look at time itself
Thank you Lucas we all appreciate it Thank you
Thank you lucas, and fir you too, great idea and effort man
Thanks for making this happen Lucas!
I can't wait. Mine should be here in a few days. Thank you for putting this all together. It is extremely difficult to get all the sources together to nail this down.
Where’s the link? Please send to me 😅
It's in the description box
That's an amazing piece of work you guys have put in there. I now eagerly await payday so I can get one and the horn as well to echo across the hilltops. 🙂👍
Watched every vid, keep going!
This is amazing! Well done.
WOW AMAZING 🏆 Thanks !!!
The thirteenth month is quite a pain in the A55. lol. I have only seen astrological additions. They did a placement towards the end of November and first weeks of December. Using the Milky Way & a Roman constellation I can’t remember the name of. Coolest thing about that 13th month is there is an alignment with the center of our galaxy, earth and the Milky Way; which my b-day happens to fall in.
Congratulations on the completion of a very complicated & difficult task. It is beautifully done and everyone involved has my gratitude & admiration for the hard work put into recreating this for the modern day understanding of the cycle. Bravo💚
Excellent work man. Placed order before the video was done🤓
Beautiful season wheel. I could suggest counter-clock-wise (or rather moon-wise). As the Moon moves left each night at the same hour as observed from the northern hemisphere.
That's Awesome mate and a big 👍's up to the people who made it happen it looks amazing
Thank you Lucas's O'Neil. Blessed Be 🌛⭐️🌜🌛⭐️🌜🌛⭐️🌜 From Australia
What a great idea! This means I can stop trying to write all what Ive found out as you have put it together all in one place 😀I'll defo be purchasing one of these and is this something you'll be doing for every year? Thank you brother cant wait to put it on my wall.🤘
His calendar probably lines up with Robert Sass' calendar. He has a website and YT channel that explains all the days for this year and the year to come. Search for Aldsidu Saxon Heathenry and you will find him. Also, Robert is close friends with Scott T. Shell, who did an interview with Thor (Norse Magic and Beliefs) and Scott did an interview with Robert Sass on his YT channel.
Awesome 👏🏻
that was solid, thanks
Yep! I want one. Even if only for the cool factor. But I like that a lot of research has gone into it. Well done yall.
Great stuff as usual!!!!!! Second! Love your vids
I'm impressed with this calendar. It compares with my Southern Hemisphere calendar that I devised a few years ago and follow conscientiously. I'd even like to share a copy with you my brother.
Ordered mine yesterday
Will buy.
Good job, Lucas O'Neil! (Or O'Neal or O'Neill) 😆
Couldn't order one fast enough! Thank you both!
Well done. 👏
If you found a way to print flippable paper calenders of this, id buy in a heartbeat
Nice calendars for sure
Just ordered one
Hej! Fantastiskt kul att se dina videos:),
What do you make of the old swedish trad of going "påsk-kärring". One of the days leading up to easter, maby 'skärtorsdagen' when I was young in the 80's we children still dressed up like witches, dress, makeup and all, but not scary and went trick or treating. Today I do not think kids do this any more.
I love your videos
Thanks for the effort put in, I've been trying to do this myself for some time, but I got a little down when I wasn't even sure whether the year started on new or full moon.
Maybe some day I will find a good source to support either choice. Maybe from a bit later and such, supposed 'christian' times are still full of old heathen customs.
Helt klart!!! Denne vil jeg ha... håper den ikke blir utsolgt når jeg bestiller.. når lønna kommer
Awesome man thanks so much for this! I paid for my shipping but unfortunately; I'm in NZ so it's all reversed! I was wondering if you could make a poster version for us down in the south? That way you could just print them to order and not waste resources. Cheers! Just watched right through and you said you will be doing a digital version. I'd still love a flag/poster but I'd be happy with southern digital calendar. Hopefully it's not too hard; just switching some dates and colors. I don't actually know how big your audience is down here.
I second this request. Plenty of Australian’s would love a Southern Hemisphere digital version too. Really admire your work on this calendar! Such a fantastic resource for the community.
I also am very interested in a southern hemisphere version
Yeah I'm in Australia and thought the same... I'm going to sit down and reverse it myself
All Good Found The Link To Buy The Calendar 🤣🙂👍😎
Other reconstructions exist, in which the months start at new moon. Has more sense when comparing it with other pre-christian indo-european ones: in Roman pagan calendars, both Romulus' and Caesar's, had their months starting at new moon, and the Vedic calendar started at new moon aswell. With the new moon of every month Romans marked the Calendas, a holyday in which the Lars (household deities) were worshipped to have their protection for the month, so defining where the month actually starts if either new or full moon is very important. Considering that the day cycle starts with darkness (sunset) I find it more logic that the original germanic one started the month in darkness aswell with the New Moon so I'll keep with that reconstructed model
I bought Rune H. Rasmussen's calendar two years in a row. Giving this one a try to compare.
I'm working on a video game with a lunar calendar that controls temperature rise and fall and day light length. I got to make up how many months and days are in the year and I lost my mind. BIG THUMS UP too the man who made this. Mine is square.
I bought one!
Lucas, I am quite grateful for your efforts. Skol! (I don’t have the correct keyboard for the correct spelling; for the cringies)
17:55 hi I’d like to clear this up or maybe you will do a video on this? :D so for the hélhestr, the celebration starts on the 20? Then the fasting begins on the 27-28? Thanks
Are you doing a calendar like that for 2024?!?!? I would LOVE one.
This looks great - do we just move everything along 6mths, or turn it upside down for the Southern Hemisphere ? Or do you have a separate one for down here.
Is this available yet? Its beautiful! Xxx
Happy new year
Hold up, krunk? I've not heard that used in a VERY long time. You just blew my 90's mind.
Everyone else is saying this, but I cannot wait to order one!
That’s kinda Kool, My birthday is October 8th
this is magnificent
That is the star of Ishtar from Sumeria, that you have Beltane n stuff on.
In south Louisiana the Mardi gras krews are still named after roman deity
Is there any way to get a printout of this instead of on fabric?
The Old Norse lunar calendar, is different in that each month begins right at each full Cecefef... The correct way to align it is last or 13th month Moersugr, Hunting, begins at the closest full Cecefef to Yule; the next or numerically First Month (best) is Thorri, which refers to the goddess Vanadis. 13th months is created when one makes the 12th Sildhemanudur, cold month. Haust as in Haustmanudhur means the herb Kava Kava.... the present month therein is Einmanudhur, which refers to Terseness, people not wanting naturally to conversate a lot. Norse old language is in the Third Best category of languages for us, along with Swedish, Greek and Bulgarian; the Second Best are Welsh, Danish and French; German and Irish are in a First or Second Best category; surest First Best is Scottish Gaelic. In the lowest, worst category is English, Dutch and Finnish next worst- that is why I recommend a language change Rezefede, finding our true race path; attracting a race blessing and energy... Rezefede Thecwyevekw'
Is fish also included in the "No meat" for Hélhestr, and also is it 24 hour fasting or would intermittent fasting be okay? I've never fasted before so I'm curious on those
Will this be updated for a new year?
as long the MIGHTY THORSDAY is included then is all smiles for my Belmont face
🌙🌩⛈⚡badass looking Calendar⚡🌩⛈ 🌘
can you do video on nisse christmas stuff
When will the calendar be available again?
Yeah
Awesome calendar! I'm in the Southern hemisphere so Unfortunately the seasons are all reversed, might even make my own now you've inspired me 😁
Can you please make a high res image of this calendar because it doesn't ship to switzerland?
Hey Mate Where Can I Buy A Norse Calendar Like Yours In This Video???
I want one so bad. But, I’d settle for a small poster or something. Is that available?
Can you make a high res image of this calendar?
Awsome work! But.. I think a natural material like linen would make the flag more authentic
Will there be a 2024 calendar as we are in September 23 now ?? Hope so.
I have 22/23 calendar.
Where can i buy the 2023-2024 calender or when is it aviable?
Can anyone please explain further the fasting after 7 day feast in February
Would the three-month feasts begin on the full moon, or on the night before?
are ya using a gate on yer mic?
Will there be another one of these for Oct 2023 - Oct 2024?
why no shipping to Switzerland:(
Somehow I'm missing something. How could Valporugs be celebrated into die first may night, when there was no calendar at this time? Wouldn't it be clebrated maybe at full moon (this year for example on 5.5.2023) Same with Skóklafallsdagr/Pinse: How does it fall on June 9th instead of being anchored at some moon? I'm very curious for the answers to these questions.
Will there be a new one for 2023-2024? My wall will be sad and naked without it 😆
will there be a new one for 2024? or an explanation as to how to transpose the information?
Yes, there will be a new and greatly updated calendar for next year :)
Will you reintroduce this?
Are you doing a 2023 to 2024 calendar?
