The Months of The Year

Ho Ho Ho – it’s Solstice Pagan festival time. As usual, we are doing a special end of year episode to round off another trip around the sun.

This time, we thought we would look back at the year, month by month, and try to work out how our year came to be, and the religious or mythological reasons behind our calendar. Hopefully, we can also find out why, during each said month, Emma totally loses her shit and becomes a psychotic, bawling mess of physical and emotional pain. Wish us luck with that one.

We’re going to be focussing on the Gregorian/Western Calendar, but will mention some other vastly inferior calendars if they offer us amusing tid bits of trivia that we can look down upon.

JIS?

So, let’s start at the very beginning: January. The month of Joe’s birth.
