The Galdorcraft Calendar is a tool for re-animizing our world – for imbuing the living cosmos with spirit through our recognition of its many faces, stories, and songs. This calendar is a working reconstruction of a runic calendar, the likes of which were used as early as the 1300s but likely much earlier by the early English, Norse, and Germanic peoples.  Practically, these calendars were used to track the solar and lunar dates simultaneously.  They were also used to keep track of the solstices, equinoxes, cross quarters, and eclipses.  But our ancient ancestors did not parse out the mundane from the sacred the same way that we do today.  The conception and use of the runic calendar took place in an era where writing was still very much only understood as a magical art.  Those who held knowledge of the runes had access to primal inherent workings of the universe and the natural world.  The runes are a representation of sound and sounds are the building blocks of our world.
