🌙 What is the Ártala?

Ártala (Old Norse for "year counter," in the Alvíssmál of the Edda, the Elven word for "moon") is a critically reconstructed lunisolar calendar of the Germanic peoples. It combines moon phases and the solar year into a living calendar that shows festivals, lunar months, and days of the week in their original meaning—with traditions and sources based on the research of Andreas Zautner ("The Bound Lunar Calendar of the Germanic Peoples").
