July
Administrator July 1st, 2009
The Romans first named this month Quintillis, but later renamed it Julius after Julius Ceasar. July, the seventh month of the current Gregorian calendar and the second month of Summer’s rule, derives its name from Julius (Julius Caesar).
July is shared by the astrological signs of Cancer the Crab and Leo the Lion, and is sacred to the following Pagan deities: Apt (or Apet), Athena, Sothis, Spider Woman, and Rosea.
The traditional birthstone amulet of July is the ruby; and the larkspur and the water lily are the month’s traditional flowers.
The Greek Olympian was held In July, lasting about a week.
