Tale 106 The Woodcraft Kalendar

The Woodcraft Kalendar is founded on the Indian way of noting the months. Our own ancestors called them “Moons” much as the Indians did. Our word “month” was once written “moneth” or “monath” which meant a “moon or moon’s time of lasting.” The usual names for the moons to-day are Latin, but we find we get closer to nature if we call them by their Woodcraft names, and use the little symbols of the Woodcraft Kalendar.
