The Forest of Dandaka Tree Calendar

The Forest of Dandaka Tree Calendar

The Forest of Dandaka Tree Calendar is a moon based calendar with the months named after trees. Below are the dates and also the “Days Out of Balance” which are traditional holidays with a twist in The Power of the Crystalline Trees.

This is roughly based on a Celtic Tree Calendar. A traditional Celtic moon calendar information can be seen here: https://www.thoughtco.com/celtic-tree-months-2562403. I have changed some of the trees to better reflect Lan’s journey.

The dates change slightly as the New Moons change. Below the dates are based on the New Moons for 2018. This calendar starts on the first new moon closest to the Winter Solstice.
