Sacred Calendar

The Turning Year

Historical observances, reconstructed seasonal practice, and modern Heathen celebrations are labeled separately so the app never presents every date as one universal ancient calendar.

Coming Up

The next three observances rotate here automatically as the year moves forward.

The Eight Phases

Practice for this phase

These phase-based practices are modern devotional suggestions. Sacred Year does not present an eight-phase Heathen ritual system as an attested ancient Germanic calendar.

About the calculation

Sacred Year uses the Moon’s average synodic cycle to provide an approximate phase, illumination, and countdown. Exact astronomical phase times can vary from a simple mean-cycle calculation.

Astronomical basis: mean synodic month ≈ 29.53059 days.

Elder Futhark

Study all 24 runes, separate historical evidence from modern divinatory practice, save a rune, or record a personal reading.

How Sacred Year handles rune meanings

Historical: rune names and core meanings are based on reconstructed Proto-Germanic names and later rune-poem evidence where relevant.

Modern interpretation: divinatory keywords and reflection prompts are contemporary practice and are labeled as such.

The surviving historical record does not give us one standardized ancient “rune oracle dictionary” equivalent to modern guidebooks.

Sacred Library

The Old Texts
