November
November 1, 2008
November, the eleventh month of the current Gregorian calendar and the third month of Autumn’s rule, derives its name from novem, the Latin word meaning “nine,” as November was the ninth month of the old Roman Calendar.
The traditional birthstone amulet of November is the topaz; and the chrysanthemum is the month’s traditional flower.
November is shared by the astrological signs of Scorpio the Scorpion and Sagittarius the Centaru-Archer, and is sacred to the following Pagan deities: Astarte, Calleach, Hathor, Kali, Maman, and Sekhmet.
