1615 / 2025 Valthungian Calendar

It’s that time of year again! I just finished work on next year’s Valthungian/Gregorian calendar. If you’ve seen previous calendars, there isn’t a lot of change to talk about this year… Same 7 days of the week (in their abbreviated forms), same 24 months. There are only two differences I can think of from last year’s calendar, all of which centre on the recent L-changes to the language:

  • The minor month Blate, due to said sound change, is now Maute (Mautimēnaþs)
  • The hlava- element found in the cross-quarters is now hauva, ergo
    • Hauvawastra 
    • Hauvasumbra
    • Hauvahravist
    • Hauvawintrus

Nota bene: All astronomical calculations are in Atlantic time, so they should be pretty useless for just about everyone but me.

(Download the full PDF Calendar here.)

Edit: Just kidding, those are still the old day names. Maybe one day I'll upload a new, corrected version, but today is not that day. In keeping with the short month names, which usually use an abstract neuter i-stem ending, the days now also have short forms, mostly using abstract neuter u-stem endings:

  • sǭgilo
  • mēno
  • tījo
  • wœuðnio
  • þīfo
  • frižo
  • lǭgo
