January

5th: On the eve before the Festival of the Three Kings,
an old Christian tradition calls for blessed dried
herbs to be ritually burned and doorways
sprinkled with holy water.
6th: Twelfth Day. According to a centuries-old English
tradition, all yuletide decorations of holly,
ivy, mistletoe, and evergreens should be removed
from the house and burnt on the morning of
Twelfth Day (the last day of the yuletide season).
This is believed to avert 12 months of bad
luck or a death in the family.
13th: In some parts of the world, the old Pagan custom
of wassailing apple trees each year on this
day continues to be observed.
20th: Saint Agnes? Eve: According to Pagan tradition,
drinking parsley tea and eating stale bread before
going to sleep this night will bring you a
dream about the man or woman destined to be
your future marriage partner. The Celtic tree
month of Birch (Beth) ends.
21st: The Celtic tree month of Rowan (Luis) begins.
