Year-Reckoning: The 2027 Anglo-Saxon Heathen Calendar for Norðerne Middangeard (Northern Hemisphere Edition) by Eðelwynn Hlæfdige. 38 pages. $22, €18, £16, C$26. Released September 2026.
This 2027 Anglo-Saxon Heathen wall calendar is based upon the Théodish Ríce’s careful reconstruction of the Anglo-Saxon Heathen lunisolar calendar that was described by the Northumbrian monk, Bede, in De Mensibus Anglorum, “The Months of the English.” Worked out for a full nineteen-year Metonic cycle, this reconstructed year-reckoning was first published on the Ealdríce’s Théod’s website sometime shortly after 2010 and later republished in 2019 by Háliggyld Books as part of Þórbeorht Hláford’s By the Sun, the Stars, and the Moon: Anglo-Saxon Heathen Time-keeping.
Eðelwynn Hlæfdige has created a convenient wall calendar for the coming year that cross-references the Anglo-Saxon calendar with the Gregorian calendar. Year-Reckoning: The 2027 Anglo-Saxon Heathen Calendar for Norðerne Middangeard (Northern Hemisphere Edition) is beautifully illustrated with full color pictures of contemporary Anglo-Saxon Heathen worship. As a way of explaining the calendar’s workings, this year’s edition of the wall calendar includes “On the Turning of the Heavens: The Anglo-Saxon Heathen Year, Its Reckoning and its Beginning; the Nineteen-year Getælcircul and its Start,” a chapter from the 2026 revised and expanded edition of By the Sun, the Stars, and the Moon.

The 2026/2027 Anglo-Saxon Heathen wall calendar for the Southern Hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa) reckons the Anglo-Saxon lunisolar year and months according to how they fall in that part of the earth, where Módraniht, the eve of the Winter Solstice and beginning of the Anglo-Saxon Heathen year, is held in June rather than December.

To Hold the Holytides A Collection of Articles on the Anglo-Saxon Heathen Ritual Year, Its Keeping and Its Customs by Þórbeorht Ealdorblótere. 158 pages. $18. Released November 2020. (Note: A revised and expanded edition this book is slated for release in November of 2026.)
To Hold the Holytides is a collection of Théodish writings on the Anglo-Saxon heathen ritual year that explores how many pre-Christian customs were kept alive in both the seasonal celebrations of the Anglican church and in the folk traditions of the English countryside. Moreover, this work affords the contemporary reader a rare glimpse into how such ancient thews have been rekindled and put into practice by Anglo-Saxon Théodsmen today. As a companion to By the Sun, the Stars, and the Moon: Anglo-Saxon Heathen Time-keeping, this book also includes articles on how the dates for such heathen holytides as Módraniht, Éastre, Midsumor, and Winterfylleþ are determined and as well as observations on the span of Yuletide as it was held in Anglo-Saxon England.
