Angelkinn is a pagan country, that has developed a synchretic religion with Celtic and Anglo-Saxon elements, even if the Celtic elements are prominent. | |||
Tjoc calendar is organised depending on religious beliefs. The year is splitted into 13 ''monates'' (= months), each one of 28 days, except the last one, that has got one day more: | |||

''Winterwild'' is the only month that has got 29 days and, when the year is an '''oerjår''' (= leap year), it receives one day more. | |||
The year is divided into two '''jårtyd''' (= seasons) - '''Winter''', winter, and '''Sumor''', summer. In the past '''Herfst''' (= autumn) and '''Lent''' (= spring) were considered to be the half of the true season, whose name could indicate both the entire season and the first half of it: | |||
