January\nNamed after the Roman god of beginnings and endings Janus (the month Januarius). \n\nFebruary\nThe name comes either from the old-Italian god Februus or else from februa, signifying the festivals of purification celebrated in Rome during this month. \n\nMarch\nThis is the first month of the Roman year. It is named after the Roman god of war, Mars. \n\nApril\nCalled Aprilis, from aperire, "to open". Possible because it is the month in which the buds begin to open. \n\nMay\nThe third month of the Roman calendar. The name probably comes from Maiesta, the Roman goddess of honor and reverence. \n\nJune\nThe fourth month was named in honor of Juno. However, the name might also come from iuniores (young men; juniors) as opposed to maiores (grown men; majors) for May, the two months being dedicated to young and old men. \n\nJuly\nIt was the month in which Julius Caesar was born, and named Julius in his honor in 44 BCE, the year of his assassination. Also called Quintilis (fifth month). \n\nAugust\nOriginally this month was called Sextilis (from sextus, "six"), but the name was later changed in honor of the first of the Roman emperors, Augustus (because several fortunate events of his life occurred during this month). \n\nSeptember\nThe name comes from septem, "seven". \n\nOctober\nThe name comes from octo, "eight" \n\nNovember\nThe name comes from novem, "nine". \n\nDecember\nThe name comes from decem, "ten".

Ok here it is so bear with me.  Candlemas or "Imbolc", (which means in the belly, because this is the time of the year when the flocks begin to give birth.)  Another name is Oilmec "ewe's milk."  Candlemass, The Feast of Waxing Light, The Feast of Flames, Laal Breeshey, Brigid, Brigantia, and La Feill Bhride.  We see the the change of the year here from the darker days of Winter to the lengthening days of Spring. It is the first harbinger of spring, the assusance that the Wheel is turning and the long warm days of summer will return.   \n  It is particulary sacred to women and to Brigid, the Goddess of healing, inspiration, ans smithcraft.  It is on Feb 2. every year.  Most Christian religions do not celebrate it, it is a pagan holiday.  Any Christian religions that do celebrate it (Feast of Saint Lucia, in Italy, and some nordic countries) have adapted it for the purpose to convert the pagans in the ancient times. So the answer would be Yes it is a real holiday, but only to those who are of the Pagan paths.

:}\nEaster is based on the calculation used for the Jewish Old testament Passover. It is a celebration of the resurrection of Christ, which occurred three days later.\n\nPassover was originally set according to the Jewish Lunar calendar which had only 30 days per month and required adjustments to keep pace with the solar year. For the sake of consistency and the desire to cause Easter to always fall on a Sunday, the church made several attempts to approximate the date to be used.  The date now used was decided on at the Gregorian calendar reform in 1582\n\nThis websites gives a calculator for computing the date for any given year. The main point is that Jesus is our Passover (1Cor.5:7), Jesus is the resurrection and the life (Jn.11:25). The point is not to worship Him on any one day or any particular time, but to worship Him on all days and at all times, and not to worship the day we have chosen to represent His work (Gal.4:10).\n(Gal.4:10).

October 31 -- November Eve -- Samhain\n\nThe night lengthens and we work with the positive aspects of darkness in the increasing star- and moonlight. Many Craft traditions, following the ancient Celts, consider this the eve of the New Year (as day begins with sundown, so the year begins with the first day of Winter). It is one night when the barriers between the worlds of life and death are uncertain, allowing the ancestors to walk among the living, welcomed and feasted by their kin, bestowing the Otherworld's blessings. We may focus within ourselves to look "through the glass darkly", developing our divination and psychic skills. Click here to know more about Samhain.\n\nDecember 21 -- Winter Solstice -- Yule\n\nThe sun is at its nadir, the year's longest night. We internalize and synthesize the outward-directed activities of the previous summer months. Some covens hold a Festival of Light to commemorate the Goddess as Mother giving birth to the Sun God. Others celebrate the victory of the Lord of Light over the Lord of Darkness as the turning point from which the days will lengthen. The name "Yule" derives from the Norse word for "wheel", and many of our customs (like those of the Christian holiday) derive from Norse and Celtic Pagan practices (the Yule log, the tree, the custom of Wassailing, et al). \n\nJanuary 31 -- February Eve -- Imbolc (Oimelc) or Brigid\n\nAs the days' lengthening becomes perceptible, many candles are lit to hasten the warming of the earth and emphasize the reviving of life. "Imbolc" is from Old Irish, and may mean "in the belly", and Oimelc, "ewe's milk", as this is the lambing time. It is the holiday of the Celtic Fire Goddess Brigid, whose threefold nature rules smithcraft, poetry/inspiration, and healing. Brigid's fire is a symbolic transformation offering healing, visions, and tempering. Februum is a Latin word meaning purification -- naming the month of cleansing. The thaw releases waters (Brigid is also a goddess of holy wells) -- all that was hindered is let flow at this season. \n\nMarch 21 -- Vernal Equinox -- Ostara\n\nDay and night are equal as Spring begins to enliven the environment with new growth and more newborn animals. Many people feel "reborn" after the long nights and coldness of winter. The Germanic Goddess Ostara or Eostre (Goddess of the Dawn), after whom Easter is named, is the tutelary deity of this holiday. It is she, as herald of the sun, who announces the triumphal return of life to the earth. Witches in the Greek tradition celebrate the return from Hades of Demeter's daughter Persephone; Witches in the Celtic tradition see in the blossoms the passing of Olwen, in whose footprints flowers bloom. The enigmatic egg, laid by the regenerating snake or the heavenly bird, is a powerful symbol of the emergence of life out of apparent death or absence of life. \n\nApril 30 -- May Eve -- Beltaine\n\nAs the weather heats up and the plant world burgeons, an exuberant mood prevails. Folk dance around the Maypole, emblem of fertility (the name "May" comes from a Norse word meaning "to shoot out new growth"). May 1st was the midpoint of a five-day Roman festival to Flora, Goddess of Flowers. The name "Beltaine" means "Bel's Fires"; in Celtic lands, cattle were driven between bonfires to bless them, and people leaped the fires for luck. The association in Germany of May Eve with Witches' gatherings is a memory of pre-Christian tradition. "Wild" water (dew, flowing streams or ocean water) is collected as a basis for healing drinks and potions for the year to come. \n\nJune 21 -- Summer Solstice -- Litha or Midsummer\n\nOn this day, the noon of the year and the longest day, light and life are abundant. We focus outward, experiencing the joys of plenty, tasting the first fruits of the season. In some traditions the sacred marriage of the God

well i will introduce you to the hebrew tree of life. it has ten sephiroth (dots) and with these 10 dots are 22 connecting lines (22 major arcana cards and 22 hebrew letters) then you will see that like i do that the start of tarot is obviously some sort of flash card system for studying qabala. qabala is more then a mystical approach developed by hebrews i believe it comes before hebrews. qabala is quite literally a methodical approach to become totally one in spirit with the moment of now. a system if used correctly would balance out your energy, it would eradicate the ego voice in you. the tree of life is also a excellent filing system that fits all your experiences into it like tarot does. pagan festivals are based on the sun and not tarot. although some aspects of tarot can be and were used time to time. the pagan holiday is based on a 45 day basis. nearly or thereabouts a holiday was 45 days from one another. so there were 8 different holidays in the course of a year.  starting in october with samhain (pronounced sow en)  on october 31st was the day of new transformations, so in a way it best described the death card. it was considered much as the new years is today with the exception that much of the celebrations was done with the ancients in mind. next is Yule. december 20th (depending on the longest night) this celebration was to restart the sun getting warmer and yule logs were burned. next was imbolg or candlemas on or near feb 2  this celebrated that the winter was nearly over and spring was soon coming. next was ostara in or around march 21st this was the beginning of spring and rituals of fertility using rabbits and eggs were used to replenish the stores of foods used up over the long winter. next was beltaine which is another spring rite that equates to may day. may pole dances were fashioned from magick gathering dances sending energy along a ribbon tied to a pole. the patterns made by many ribbons would be divined or read by the local matriarch. then after beltaine was litha or high summer on or around june 22. this is the opposite of yule this is the longest day. then is lughnassa or lughnasadh which is the beginning of harvest. then mabon on or around sep 21. mabon is final harvest and spicing or storing for the long winter months coming. then back to samhain on october 31st.\n\n\nto go on to the rest of the question put to me i would answer that the wheel of the year goes as such winter would be north and the element earth(cold and dry) spring would be air and east (warm and moist) summer would be south and fire (warm and dry) and fall would be water and west (cold and moist)\n\nas i answered in your question relating to tarot and tree of life the four worlds of the tree are\nAtziluth which is the tree of primordial fire and this is the suit of wands\nBriah which is the tree of primoridial water and this is the suit of cups\nYetzirah is the tree of primordial air and this is the suit of swords\n\nAssiah is the tree of primordial earth and this is the suit of pentacles

Rosh-Hashana is the Jewish new year, and Passover is when the Jewish people became an independent nation.  This is why some refer to the month of Nisan (when Passover occurs) as the first, and not the seventh month of the Jewish year.

The association of the middle of February with love and fertility dates to ancient times. In the calendar of Ancient Athens, the period between mid January and mid February was the month of Gamelion, which was dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera.\n\nIn Ancient Rome, the day of February 15 was Lupercalia, the festival of Lupercus, the god of fertility, who was represented by two half-naked young men, dressed in goat skins. As part of the purification ritual, the priests of Lupercus would sacrifice goats to the god, and after drinking wine, they chose two young men to run through the streets of Rome holding pieces of the goat skin above their heads, striking anyone they met with the goat hide. Young women especially would come forth voluntarily for the occasion, in the belief that being so touched would render them fruitful and bring easy childbirth.\n\nAccording to the Catholic Encyclopedia (1908), at least three different Saint Valentines, all of them martyrs and all quite obscure, are mentioned in the early martyrologies under the date of February 14:\n\na priest in Rome who suffered martyrdom in the second half of the 3rd century and was buried on the Via Flaminia. \na bishop of Interamna (modern Terni) also suffered martyrdom in the second half of the 3rd century and was also buried on the Via Flaminia, but in a different location than the priest. \na martyr in North Africa, about whom little else is known. \nThe connection between St. Valentine and romantic love is not mentioned in any early histories and is regarded by secular historians as purely a matter of legend (see below). The feast of St. Valentine was first declared to be on February 14 by Pope Gelasius I in 496. There is a widespread legend that he created the day to counter the practice held on Lupercalia of young men and women pairing off as lovers by drawing their names out of an urn, but this practice is not attested in any sources from that era.\n\nIn the 19th century, relics of St. Valentine were donated by Pope Gregory XVI to the Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland, which has become a popular place of pilgrimage on February 14.\n\nIn 1969, as part of a larger effort to pare down the number of saint days of purely legendary origin, the Church removed St. Valentine's Day as an official holiday from its calendar.\n\n[edit]\nValentine\nThe influential Gnostic teacher Valentinius was a candidate for Bishop of Rome in 143. In his teachings, the marriage bed assumed a central place in his version of Christian love, an emphasis sharply in contrast with the asceticism of mainstream Christianity. Stephan A. Hoeller assesses Valentinius on the subject: "In addition to baptism, anointing, eucharist, the initiation of priests and the rites of the dying, the Valentinian Gnosis mentions prominently two great and mysterious sacraments called 'redemption' (apolytrosis) and 'bridal chamber' respectively." [1].

The name Julian comes from Flavius Claudius Julianus, the Emperor of Rome (361-363) who attempted to restore the official dominance of paganism. It is a Latin name and has no ties to the Hebrew language, and has no Hebraic equivalants. Thus, it has no Getmatria value, and has no meaning in Kabbala. Sorry.

December 30th\n\nThis means the third day before (ante diem) the Kalends (1st) of January.  The Romans counted the day itself when calculating dates, so the first of January is day one, December 31st is day two, and December 30th is day three.

It is also the date of birth for Mithras. Thats why early Christians hijacked it as the birthdate of their own false God - to make the religious festivals more attractive to the heathens living around them.... \n\nMithras was also born of a virgin, died and was buried in a rock tomb, and was ressurected after three days. Sound like anyone familiar?
