Sunekan Calendar

This is the calendar used by the Sunekan religion.

The year cycles through a number of ritual-festival phases.
The First Fallow, from the winter solstice to spring equinox, is a period in which holidays are more sparse and the emotion of holidays is more quiet and restrained. The idea is that the new year is building spiritual energy and momentum, with comparisons to a fallow field during crop rotation. The big exception to this is Yepicha in February, which is a joyous cotton harvest festival intended to begin the ramping up of emotion heading towards the next phase
The First Festival Season, from the spring equinox to the summer solstice, is a period where holidays become more frequent and intense. While only the big unifying holidays are marked on this calendar, this is a time when smaller cults of warmth, fertility, or abundance enter the festival calendar. This is a period of intense agricultural importance in the Sunekan Heartlands: it is when the winter crops are being harvested, and the summer crops are being planted.
The Second Fallow, from the summer solstice to the autumn equinox, is a period with much of the same logic and tempo of the first fallow. It even has a sister cotton festival to Yepicha, the Tipicha cotton and spinning festival in August, which serves the same purpose as Yepicha in the calendar.
The Second Festival Season, from the autumn equinox to the winter solstice, is the mirror of the first festival season, but with new cults and new spirits. The expansion of the Suneka has introduced the idea of winter as a time of death, a concept that synergized well with the winter solstice having a ritual commemoration of an escape from the underworld - so this season has grown to include war, herd animal, and death related cults that are newer (though older ones tend to be in spring, the traditional war-death season).
All of these phases hinge on the four most important holidays: the Four Seasonal Festivals at the winter, summer, spring, and autumn solstices (March, June, September, December). These seasonal festivals tend to be the most elaborate and are the most likely times for any Sunekan to make a pilgrimmage or festival journey to a city or temple area; religious complexes often are structured to emphasize the equinoxes and solstices, and were historically the big seasonal ritual sites. With paper calendars and timekeeping, physical astronomically-built structures don't hold quite the same timekeeping power, but they do still have a strong cultural meaning.
