A Brief History of the Elven Calendar

The most widely used tool in Tolkien-based Elven spirituality is the Calendar of Imladris, commonly referred to as “the Elven Calendar” (EC). Functionally, the EC provides the core framework, i.e. the annual devotional structure of the Elven spiritual path. The evolution of the Elven Calendar is not unlike the evolution of the present, human, Gregorian Calendar (GC). The GC denotes the periods before, and after the birth of Yesus Hristo [Jesus the Christ] as B.C., (or B.C.E.), and A.D. (or C.E.), however, since A.D. commenced, it was preceded by at least two other western calendars. The GC was developed to resolve timing inconsistencies that were apparent in the Julian Calendar (JC). In 1752 A.D., the British formally adopted the GC, eliminating observance to the JC, which caused a major uproar in their society. Other cultures, such as Semitic, Polynesian, Native American, and African cultures used their own calendar systems, all of which predated the JC; and not all of which perfectly corresponded to either the JC, or the GC (when leap years were factored into such correspondences). Calendrical development in Middle-earth, relative to both Elves, and Men evidenced a similar evolution, undergoing radical changes primarily to accommodate political expediency.

Elves are the Firstborn of the Children of Iluvatar; hence, Elves established Arda’s first calendar system. In Middle-earth, the Elven calendar system was distilled into what is known as the “Calendar of Imladris” (CI); Imladris being the fomal name for “Rivendell”. The Elves began their year on the Vernal Equinox, thus, the Elven New Year’s Day, or “Yestarë”, dawned on the Gregorian equivalent of March 22nd. The first Elven month, “Viressë” began the day after Yestarë. Aside from the mid-March placement of Yestarë, one of the principal features of the CI was the placement of 3 days in the middle of the year, known as the “Enderi”, which separated the seasons of Autumn, and Fading, as well as the 6th, and 7th months. The Elven week, or “enquië”, consisted of 6 days. When “the Followers”, i.e. human Children Iluvatar arrived, they adopted Elven calendrical thinking, with remarkable, and what would prove to be troublesomely inconsistent variations.

Many Peoples, Many “Reckonings”. The most significant variations humans affected in their modification of the CI was the resetting of Yestarë to December 22, (the day after their Yule), and the addition of a 7th day to the enquië. This was done by the kings of Númenor, as was referred to as the “King’s Reckoning”. After the fall of Númenor, the King’s Reckoning continued in Gondor, until the death of Eärnur, the last King of Gondor. Thereafter, as the governance of Gondor was directed by stewards, (pending the arrival of Aragorn/Ellesar}, the calendar was further modified by the first steward, then redesignated as the “Steward’s Reckoning”. In sharp contrast to the CI, aside from the primary inconsistency of the timing of Yestarë, one of the principal faults of both the King’s Reckoning, and the Steward’s Reckoning was the inconsistency they both had, uniquely, as well as between them as they differently attempted to reconcile the Enderi. They both recognized a single middle day, however the former accommodated the other two enderi by adding a day to both the month preceding, and proceeding it; whilst the latter did so by establishing holidays on March 23rd, and September 21st. Additionally, since those Reckonings designated Dec. 22nd as Yestarë, they were furthermore inconsistent with the IC due to the overlapping placements of Yestarë with the early days of Viressë; the latter therein commencing a few days prior to the Elven recognition of Yestarë. Those misalignments persisted in Middle-earth until the fall of Barad-dûr, (documented in the Lord of the Rings); they were resolved by Aragorn, after he, as King Ellesar, restored kingship to Gondor; at which time the calendar became known as the “New Reckoning”.

The New Reckoning also embraced the calendry of the Hobbits, thus realigning Yestarë with New Year’s Day o the f“Shire-reckoning", i.e March 25th, and unifying all of Middle-earth in its time count. After modern fine tuning, (based on research done by Dave Woosley, which further reset Yestarë to March 28), the Modern New Reckoning (MNR) emerged. The MNR establishes a fundamental balance with the GC, and the CI by commencing Viressë immediately after Yestarë, and recognizing Enderi, as the Elves have done, in perfect alignment with the Elven seasons. As it is the most balanced, and consistent alignment between the Gregorian, and Elven calendar systems, the MNR is the one by which Elven spiritual practice is most consistently observed.

How to Determine the Correct MNR Elven Date Using the Encyclopedia of Arda

The Encyclopedia of Arda provides the most widely used calendar interface for determining the correlation between the Gregorian and Elven calendars. Considering all of the above, you're probably asking, "How do I know what is the actual Elven date according to the Modern New Reckoning?" The answer is a simple calculation. Remember, the Encylopedia's aligned with the New Reckoning which places Yestarë 3 days ahead of the Modern New Reckoning, (even though it says Yestarë is in December). So, here's the formula:

(1) Go to the Encylopedia's Calendar,
(2) choose the Gregorian date,
(3) look at the Calendar of Númenor's date,
(4) and subtract 3.

For instance, at the time of this writing, it is August 28th.
The Calendar of Númenor date is 6 Yavannië;
the MNR date is 3 Yavannië.
Voila!

The Flow of the Elven Calendar According to the Modern New Reckoning.

Basically, the CI is comprised of a year, or “loa”, which embodies 6 seasons, 12 months, and fifty-two 7-day weeks spanning 365 days; very compatible with the human count of time. While human time is also denoted in centuries, or one hundred years, Elven time is also denoted in “yén”, or one hundred forty-four years. During the Ages of Middle-earth, the yen were also counted in sets of 3.

The first step toward mastering your understanding of the CI is to learn how its increments progress, and synchronize. The basic math pattern of the yearly flow of the loa’s seasons, and months relative to their day counts may be easily understood by the following numeric sequences:

First Day.  

Season day counts: 54; 72; 54; 3-day pause; 54; 72; 54.
 
Monthly day counts: 30; 30; 30; 30; 30; 30; 3-day pause; 30; 30; 30; 30; 30; 30.  

Last Day. 

[Note: Historically, Elven weeks were 6 days long; so, in Elven time count, each month had 5 weeks. However, since a week in human time count is 7 days long, each month of the MNR has 4 weeks and 2 days. There are 7 months per half year, hence, those extra 2 days per month as up to 2 full weeks, thus perfectly aligning the Elven and human time counts via the MNR.]

Table 4

The MNR enables the most dependable, hassle-free way of applying the Calendar of Imladris to the Gregorian Calendar, and to the practitioner’s daily life. However, the MNR's greatest value is in the application of it in the observance of annual Elven Solar and Lunar Observances, (i.e. celebrations, rituals, and meditations), comprising what is regarded as the “Elven Spiritual Calendar” (ESC).

The Elven Spiritual Calendar

The ESC enables the practitioner to apply it to her/his/their life to affect reliable, progressive, personal spiritual growth by transiting the loa as the "Elven Spiritual Harvest Cycle". Basically, the flow of the ESC conforms to that of the CI, according to the Modern New Reckoning. In order to enable those interested in the Elven spiritual path to have consistent, accruing spiritual encounters with the Valar, the EC's key dates are respectively aligned with the Valar, the Maiar, the Ainur, and the Elves. Each of those dates are further aligned with rituals enabling personal interaction with respective Valar; in keeping with the CI, the ESC is designed to enable personal spiritual growth via the regular practice of those rituals. (As a member of T-e’s core leadership, Ms. de Cygne added value to the Calendar by including New Moon, and Dark Moon observances, and developing meditations for them, along with an additional ritual, aligned with all of the Valar, that initiates the practitioner into life as an Elven Light Bearer.)

The rituals form the foundation of the practitioner’s experience of path’s Solar and Lunar Observances.   The timing of nearly all of the path’s rituals, and meditations are solidly based on the cycles of regular dates occurring within the Calendar; those that are not are nonetheless based on cyclical astronomical events, e.g. Blue Moons.

The Solar Observances

The Elven Solar Observances   form the primary devotional framework of the Elven spiritual path. With the exception of “Cuivérë Quendiva”, which was improvisationally established by T-e, all of them may be found within Tolkien’s Legendarium; (the original founders of T-e having devoted considerable effort, and time to determine their respective Gregorian alignments). They are below listed by Gregorian calendar dates, along with the respective entities upon whom the Observances are focused.

March 27th and March 28th: Mettarë / Yestarë (the Loa’s Last Day / First Day, or Elven New Year)  Focus: The Valië, Vairë the Weaver.

May 22nd: Nost-na-Lothion, “Birth of Flowers”, (beginning of Lairë/Laer, Summer)  
Focus: The Valie, Vana, the Ever-Young.

June 21: Tarnin Austa (Gates of Summer; Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere)  
Focus: The golden tree Laurelin, Anar (the Sun), and the Maia, Arien, whom the Valar appointed to steer Anar.   August 2: Yavië (beginning of Yavië/Iavas, Autumn)  
Focus: Arda, the Earth.

September 25-27th: Enderi/Enedhoer (Middle Days, which are observed between the end of Yávië/Iavas, and the beginning of Quellë [or Lasse-lanta]/Firith [or Narbeleth], i.e. the Seasons of Autumn, and Fading, respectively)  
Focus: Oromë.

November 21: Cuivérë Quendiva (Awakening of the Quendi (Elves), [as improvised by Tië eldaliéva], First day of Hrivë/Rhîw, Winter)  
Focus: The Elves.

December 21: Turuhalmë (“LogDrawing” and Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere)
Focus: Telperion (The silver tree, also known as the White Tree), Isil, the Moon, and the Maia, Tilion, whom the Valar appointed to steer Isil.

February 1: Solvalwaris (Purification, beginning of Coirë/Echuir, Season of Stirring)  
Focus: The Valië, Nienna.

The Lunar Observances 

Although the Solar Observances form the backbone of Tolkien-based Elven spiritual practice, the Lunar Observances truly flesh out the practitioner’s thereof experience. The primary Lunar Observances occur on Full Moons, or “Isils”. All Isil observances apply ritual, and formalized communication with the respective Vala, or Valie relative to the month in which it occurs. Additionally, Lunar Observances occur on New Moons, “Cuerans”, and Dark Moons, “Morrans”. Morrans are opportunities for the practioner to explore the deepest, magical dynamics of the respective Vala, or Valië, (an experience that may also include her, or him attaining much deeper character development, and refinement pursuant to the Vala, or Valie teaching her, or him Elven High Magic). Cuerans are opportunities for the practitioner to receive the guidance, and assistance of the respective Valië, or Vala in sowing wise intentions relative to her, or his personal, spiritual growth during the Harvest Cycle, in alignment with the Powers of the Valië, or Vala. Those intentions may also be external, relative to the lives of other Eldalië, and/or conditions that may be desired to be manifest in, upon, or in the celestial environs of Arda. The specific timing of the Lunar Observances must be determined by using an ephemeris, or simply by doing an online search for “moon phases”.

Special Lunar Observances

Blue Moons, and Double New, and Dark Moons  . When a moon type occurs twice within the same solar month, such as a Blue Moon, or second Full Moon, the name of the first occurrence remains the same, relative to its respective monthly placement, whilst the latter’s suffix is changed to “-maiaron”, (which may be translated as “of the Maiar”). Hence, a Blue Moon is referred to as an “Isilmaiaron”, a second New Moon is a “Cueranmaiaron”, and a second Dark Moon is a “Morranmaiaron”. On each of these special moons, the type of observance is consistent with the normal respective moon; i.e. there is an Isilmaiaron ritual, and meditations for both Cueranmaiaron, and Morranmaiaron.

The Timing of Morrans, and Cuerans.   The addition of New Moons, “Cuerans”, and Dark Moons, “Morrans”, to the below IC representation follows the astrological timings, rather than the astronomical timings. The former is specifically calculated based on mathematics; the latter is generally calculated based on observation, i.e. the Dark Moon occurs when there is no moon observable, and the New Moon occurs when the moon is first observable in the night sky, which may be twenty-four to thirty-six hours after the astrological timing of same. Using the astrological, the practitioner may experience such observances with a general 3-day span for each one. However, since there is no mention of astrology in the Legendarium, it may be reasonably deduced that the science was developed during post-Middle-earth history; hence, that the Elves observed those events according to the astronomical observation rather than the astrological calculation. Therefore, if the practitioner prefers the “old school” philosophically alignment, i.e. the astronomical timing to the astrological timing, then, the astrologically-aligned 3-day span for each observance will be nearly always irrelevant to the Morrans, but will still apply to the Cuerans; (the astronomical timing being circa a 3-degree orb on either side of the astrological timing of the New Moon.)

The Full Moon Between Time  . Five to seven times per century, (generally), the Full Moon occurs on Mettarë, or Yestarë. Since both of those sacred days are regarded as being outside of time, the Full Moons that thereupon occur may be regarded as “Isilimbilumë”, the Full Moon Between Time. Naturally, Isilimbilumë is aligned with Vairë. Whenever it occurs on Yestarë, the subsequent Full Moon, Isilviressë, occurs on 30 Viressë, the last day of Viressë. According to the Elven Spiritual Harvest Cycle, the Divine Masculine is embraced during Viressë, and the Divine Feminine is embrace during Lotessë. Hence, the Isilviressë subsequent to the Isilimbilumë that occurs on Yestarë directly, albeit slightly intermingles the Energies of the Divine Masculine, and Divine Feminine as the last date of that Isilviressë cycle occurs on 1 Lotessë; Lotessë being when the practitioner annually turns her, his, or their attention toward Nessa. For that reason, the Yestarë/Isilimbilumë, though infrequent, is one of the most potent Full Moons of the centennial practice of the ESP; it is certainly the most potent Yestarë, whenever it thereupon occurs.

Generally speaking, this is the most accurate representation of the Elven Calendar for our modern times; designed to enable the most consistent experience of Elven spiritual practice for persons who walk the Elven spiritual path. (There is a 3-day variance between it and the most widely used online Elven Calendar (presented by the Encyclopedia of Arda), due to the latter's placement of Yestarë in the month of December instead of in March, as well as with the [older] New Reckoning's placement of Yestarë on March 25th.) The New Reckoning does align with the Encyclopedia of Arda's count, however, (consequent to the expert, critical analysis of Elven spiritualist, Dave Woosely, and others), the modern observance of Yestarë is on March 28th; hence, this presentation of it, using the Modern New Reckoning, resolving the discrepancies between all prior thereof representations, and respecting the balancing of the Gregorian Leap Year's addition of February 29th by the herein addition of an extra day during Enderi, is the most accurate Elven Calendar for contemporary uses.
