Have you ever wondered why December is called December and January is called January and why the new year is said to start exactly between the two? December stems from the roman word decem meaning ten. SEP (7) tember, OCT (8) ober, NOV (9) ember, DEC (10) ember. Now you can see it. Do you? Everybody knows we changed the calendar. However, do you know the reason for that and is it really the start of a new year today???
here comes one of those real facts I love the most. Because instinctively you already knew about it for all your life. I'm easily gonna convince you on that one, I guess. Just imagine how you feel on the edge of March to April. April derives from latin aperire which translates to to open. Can you feel it? It makes total sense! Even your bible supports this claim.
Exodus 23: 14 - 18
The Three Annual Festivals
14 “Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.
15 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread; for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt.
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
16 “Celebrate the Festival of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field.
“Celebrate the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.
17 “Three times a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord.
18 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast.
“The fat of my festival offerings must not be kept until morning.
The Month of Aviv
"Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt."
the hebrew word aviv means springtime. Of course springtime is the beginning of the year. It's the beginning of growth, the beginning of a new life circle and everyone of us feels kind of reborn this time of the year. Your bible calls it the beginning of a new chapter for God's sheep.
In India are many different dates for new year's days, however most of them are somewhat round the borderline of march and april.

We usually don't think too much about everyday life stuff like our calendar while it is exactly this evereyday life that has enormous power over all of us. Considered that most of us were awake last night we should acknowledge that our calendar definitely holds power over us.
January comes from the Roman God Janus, the god of Beginning & Transition.
Janus facing the past and the future
Julius Caesar changed the calendar. And we have to notice that Roman Culture is all about war. Basically, everything they celebrate all the time is death, destruction & conquest. Check the short clip below and start your own research on Roman Culture. This clip is also going to show the next nuts influencer who changed our calandar: Pope Gregory XV
A Short History of the Modern Calendar
And why did he change the calendar? Oh, just to stay in tune with the church's celebration days. Lunatic, isn't it?
That's what we depend on today. An invented system, divorced from natural law, set up by a handful of lunatic warlords. Now that you're on your holidays, maybe you'll find the time to research the culture that we arose from. And for as long as it seems humble to wish anyone a GREAT NEW YEAR, I'm gonna do exactly that:
Happy New Year Soul Sister! Hope this new year brings you much new love, peace, joy and prosperity! :) HUGS
same for you, Soul Sister! May every one of your desires align with a greater plan and be fullfilled. I believe in us. 😘
I've thought a lot about these things over the past year, in considering what I teach my children and what traditions I encourage them to follow. I believe 2018 is going to be a year of great change! Thanks for the info and insights!! :)
Hi likeIsaid, I know exactly what you mean. I had this trouble for the last 15 years! Santa Clause, Tooth fairy, easter eggs … You never know what to teach your kids. Besides you never know the full culture you came from yourself. We are heavily disconnected! And yes, 2018 is gonna be exciting. We are changing! <3
