=== Notes ===
* The four Angelic days of observance (the first Earthsdays of Duplima, Pentema, Octama and Penultima) fall on the second month of each season, and are therefore known as the ''divine mid-season days''.
 
* The seven Demonic days of observance (the first Firesdays of Quartema, Hexema, Heptima, Octama, Nonama, Decima and Ultima) were selected because when each relevant month is dotted together on the calendar, they roughly form the shape of an "H"; standing for "Hell".
