THE KOSMON CALENDAR.
The sun-belt of the earth, or, according to the ancients, the terrestrial zodiac, is usually embraced in 23½° north to 23½° south latitude. The north line is called the sun's minimum, and is the shortest day in the year. Whilst the sun is low in the south, he is said to be on his southern journey; i.e., he left the north some one hundred and eighty-two days prior, and it takes him a whole year to get back. But he rests himself about two days on the line 23½° south, and on the next day he resumes his journey toward the north. This day is, therefore, our New-Year's Day. Not always immediately after the northern line, but the declension after the southern line, must be our determination of New-Year's Day. In plain English, the shortest day with us is Old-Year's Day; the next day thereafter (generally) will be New-Year's Day. This sun-belt is subdivided into twelve signs (instead of calendar months), thus:--

These, then, shall be the moon's days (months). The first new moon's day after New-Year's Day shall be the beginning of the first month; and the completion of the fourth quarter of the moon shall be the completion of the first month, and shall be named First Month.
The next four quarters of the moon shall be the second month, and it shall be named Second Month.
And the next completed four quarters of the moon shall be named Third Month. And so on, to the completion of the year.
Such, then, shall be the months in any and every year; for these are the moon's times as Jehovih created them.
