#calendar creation

One thing that annoys me about it though is the Intercalary Month system With normal Leap Days, you can easily specify stuff (like how we have a Leap Year every 4 Years, except in the Centennial Year, unless it divides by 4. So, 1700, 1800, and 1900 didn't have a Leap Day, but 2000 did. They have that) But for Leap Months. Nope, its just every 7 Years

Which sucks, because I actually put a bunch of thought into the Intercalation Instead of a Single Day, it is a whole week, called Shieldmeet, placed between Quickening (Month 11) & Glorion (Month 12). This is every 7 Years in a 50 Year Cycle The 50th Year of that Cycle instead has a 2-Week Festival, called Jubilee, in that spot Every 350 Years (7 Jubilee Cycles), Jubilee is only a One Week Festival

So, there are: 364 Days in a Normal Year 371 Days in a year with Shieldmeet or a Short Jubilee, 378 Days in a Regular Jubilee

The First Official Month of the Anno Visio Calendar. The name comes from the name for Easter in Greece (which is derived from the Hebrew word for Passover, which is intimately involved in the Easter Story). It is the Month of Speech

The month of Paschal is very celebration heavy

It begins with Kingtide. To understand what I'm about to say, you need to understand that I am Mormon (big surprise, if you're on my blog for a minute). And in Mormon Lore, Jesus' Birthday was allegedly on April 6th 1bc. Conveniently, this date aligns with the First of Paschal (I did the math all the way back to 380bc...). So, I've basically combined Christmas & the Winter Solstice, and the celebration of his Birth is on Kingtide

On the Fifth, it's Passion Sunday. An interesting thing about Passion Sunday is it is also the day Joseph Smith received his First Vision

The Twelfth is Palm Sunday, and the Start of Holy Week. In Holy Week, we have Restoration Day (14th, the Anniversary of the Start of the Church), Hearthmeet (15-21, a Festival of Freedom & Coming Together), Good Friday (17, Death of Christ), Black Saturday (18, Christ in the Spirit World), and Easter (19, Resurrection Day)

So, it's the Start of the year 206 AV on the Calendar I've created

The Name of Hareswatch comes from Ser Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld Books. In the Series, there is a Winter Solstice Festival called "Hogswatch." So, I took that as the holiday for the Winter Solstice Festival, and created names for the Other Three (Hares for the Spring, because of their connection with Fertility)

The Celebration of the Spring Equinox (as with the other Solstices/Equinoxes) is on the Saturday during the Festival (and the Intercalation makes it so the actual Solstice/Equinox is usually during the Festival)

And the Sunday in Hareswatch is Laetare Sunday, also known as Mothering Sunday & Rose Sunday (which acts as a Rest Period in Lent, and gives hope for the upcoming Resurrection in the midst of the usually austere Lenten Period)

So yeah, I was serious when I said I had a Calendar. Here's what the year 206 AV (206 Anno Visio, or Year of the Vision) looks like

I've been working on this since 2019, and this is just the latest iteration. I'm almost definitely going to continue expanding it as time goes on

I will gladly answer any questions (especially about the Holidays)

Today on my calendar is 1 Growfest, 205AV. What better time to share it

Calendar

-Reaping (28 Days)

The Days are Ehshin (Sunday), Nishin (Monday), Zeshin (Tuesday), Tehshin (Wednesday), Vehshin (Thursday), Psishin (Friday), and Bethshin (Saturday)

Months always begin on Tehshin

Years

In the Months Section, you noticed that the Seasonal Festivals are sometimes a week, and sometimes two. This is because a 364 Day Calendar doesn't align with the Solar Calendar. So, because of this, I included this feature

-Shmita Year: A Seven Year Cycle. Based on the Biblical Shmita Year, where the fields were left Fallow. Used to help calculate the starting year of the Calendar (based on Rest Years in Pioneer Era Utah). An additional week in Needfest

-Jubilee Years: A 50-Year Cycle (7 Shmitas, and an additional Year). Based on the Biblical Jubilee Year, acting as a Double Shmita, while also releasing Debts. Also based on Jubilee Years celebrated in Utah, which follow the same principals. An additional week in Richfest & Needfest

-Correction Year: Happens every 350 Years (7 Jubilees). Created by me, to align with the Solar Calendar. An additional week in Richfest

The Current Era began on March 21, 1821 (and the last Jubilee Year, year 200, began on March 11, 2020)

I made a new Calendar. It's... It's definitely something

Year 205 begins on March 19th 2025

So, because of that, I'm making it everyone's problem

The Current Era began on March 21, 1821. I chose this date for a number of reasons

First, the First Vision occured in 1820. This likely occured on the 26th of March (which was after the Spring Equinox that year)

Additionally, I found the Shmita/Jubilee Cycle in the Old Testament to be helpful for the Intercalation (I'll explain this more later). Jubilee Years were times of Celebration, when Debts were released, so I made 1820 a Jubilee Year. It also fits with occurrences in the Salt Lake Valley, specifically the Plague of Grasshoppers in 1855, which is a Shmita year with these calculations

So, how is it set up:

I blatantly stole from the Greyhawk Calendar. Specifically, there are 4 Seasons comprised of 13 weeks (a Weeklong Seasonal Festival, followed by 3 28-day months)

But, there are adaptations. There are 3 Types of Different Year: Shmita, Jubilee, Completion.

There are 7 Years in a Shmita, ith the Seventh being the Leap Year

There are 7 Shmita Cycles in a Jubilee Cycle, making 49 Years. The Jubilee is the 50th Year

There are 7 Jubilee Cycles in a Correction Cycle. The 7th Jubilee Year is the Completion Year. It is in there to remove a week, aligning the Calendar to the actual Solar Cycle (which would make the Calendar a week early every 350 Years)

The Shmita Year is the Basic Leap Year. There is an additional Weeklong Festival added to Needfest (the Winter Solstice Festival). This is also how the Correction Cycle works

The Jubilee Year has 2 Additional Weeks. One is added to Needfest (like in a Shmita & Correction Year), while the other is added to Richfest (the Summer Solstice Festival)

The Months are:

Growfest (7 Day)- Spring Festival

Planting (28 Days)

Flocktime (28 Days)

Wealsun (28 Days)

Richfest (7 in Most, 14 in Jubilee)- Summer Festival

Reaping (28 Days)

Goodmonth (28 Days)

Harvester (28 Days)

Gainfest (7 Days)- Autumn Festival

Patchwall (28 Days)

Ready'Reat (28 Days)

Sunsebb (28 Days)

Needfest (7 Days, 14 in Shmita, Jubilee, and Correction)

Fireseek (28 Days)

Readying (28 Days)

Coldeven (28 Days)

(I'm considering changing the names to my Conlang, but I only have "Bethola" for Goodmonth)
