Lore Monath
Mōnaþ (monath) is the Old English word for month. In compounds it means moon or lunar.
Lunar calendars mostly begin with the new cycle ― with the return of prosperity ― spring.
Of course, in actuality, there is neither beginning nor end.
Much like with any story, the choice of beginning determines the presumed end of the cycle, thus affecting the narrative for the particular choice.
