Jan 1 \u2013 Jan 31<\/b>\u00a0January\/Janus<\/strong> \u2013 Dedicated to Old Roman God-Goddess Janus \u2013 Jana, who knows both past and future.<\/p>

Jan 2 thru 3<\/b>\u00a0Feast of Old Greek Goddess Hekate \/\u00a0Hecate<\/a><\/strong>\u2013 who guides all through transitions and crisis.<\/p>

Jan 3 or 4<\/b>\u00a0Earth<\/strong>\u00a0Perihelion<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 when the Earth is closest to the Sun. (It is farthest from the sun on the 4th of July). Peri means near, and Helion is for Helios, the sun god. The sun god is closest to us on this day, thus it is his \u201cbirth\u201d day. We kind of have a sun-god \/ Light of the World birth \u201cweek\u201d, or \u201cseason\u201d every year this time, if you haven\u2019t noticed, thanks to all the Festivals of Lights, Hanukkah, Yule, Christmas all based on the Winter Solstice of Dec. 21 and the Perihelion on Jan 3 or 4. \u00a0In 2015 the perihelion occurs at exactly:\u00a0January 4, 2015 at 6:36 UTC\u00a0(01:36 EST)<\/p>

Jan 6<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Original Christmas Day<\/strong>. \u00a0Now January 6 is called Epiphany in the mainstream church, with January 5 being Epiphany Eve. In the original Church for the first 325 years of Christianity, January 6 was celebrated as Jesus \/ Yeshua\u2019s birthday. Then Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity, followed a few years later by making it the official state religion of Rome. He couldn\u2019t resist moving Yeshua\u2019s birthday to his own god, Sol Invictus\u2019 birthday. That was Dec. 25 on the Roman Calendar, which was the Winter Solstice back then, now \u00a0in our modern calendar taking place\u00a0on Dec. 21. Many early Kristian churches continued to celebrate Jan 6 as Yeshua\u2019s birthday up into the 600\u2019s AD even though Constantine had changed the date. Some rare Christian sects still celebrate Jan 6, calling it \u201cOld Christmas\u201d.<\/div>
