I'm so glad we have a calendar with month names that make sense [1/2]
January for Janus, the roman god obviously goes first smh
Then February, named avert Februa, a Roman festival of Purification
March is for Mars, Roman god of war
April comes from a latin word meaning "to open" which uh. Like spring flowers! Yeah.
May is after goddess Maia, who represents the month of May.
June after Juno, god of making babies
July and August are for the roman emporers Julius Caesar and Agustus

@mawr I do kinda like Janus there at the beginning, god of boundaries, transitions, beginnings, ends, and just sort of Time and liminality in general. Feels like the right god to call on for the beginning of the year.

@mawr Very fair. o..o
