Lead-in[]
The simbledays listed in middle eld daybooks are mostly bethoughtenings of the day the Holyfolk were slain (their “birthdays” into heaven). Other simbledays bethoughten outstanding happenings in the lives of Christ and the Unswiven. But no daybooks inhold the happenings of Christ's Enachening (Gainrising, Upgoing, or the Downcoming of the Holy Ghost): these were shifting symbledays whose daymarks rest upon that of Eastertide, which shifted from year to year. In a way, daybooks that were brooked in the Book of Tides are unending daybooks, since they can always be brooked from one year to the next.
Most of the simbledays are written in black (or dark brown), whereas the greater simbledays are written in red (hence, our saying “red-letter day,” meaning a great happening) or, sometimes, blue. Often, within big and very old handwrits, the most holy of days are written by gold leaf; in the daybook given below, the most holy of days will be boldly seen.
In this Daybook, it's hoped that the tallying of days should let us overfare time and to beghast a bond with our kin and kith of yore.
What will you see in this Daybook?[]
This daybook will keep for you, the days for when manifold worts may be sown into the ground by the four yeartides, the waxing or waning of the moon, and the manifold holy days and sumbles. You will also see that there are added to this daybook, not well known days, such as Tolkien Reading Day... Yes, it's a thing.
