What if your altar, Tarot, Grimoire and rituals could all live in a magical space that’s always with you? Liminith is a modern witchcraft companion for the moments when your practice needs to come alive: at work, on holiday, on the train or whenever you need a calm, familiar space around you. It doesn’t replace your decks, runes, crystals, tools, altar or physical Grimoire. It gives your practice a second home: personal, portable and shaped around you. Liminith is path-free. Its meanings and correspondences are written neutrally, so you can adapt them to your own tradition and beliefs. WHEEL OF THE YEAR Keep your place in the turning of the seasons. Explore Sabbats, their themes, meanings and timing, and use the rhythm of the year for reflection, intention, ritual planning and seasonal magic. MOON, SUN & SKY Follow the Moon, check the current phase, explore lunar meanings and see what the sky is doing now. Eclipses, meteor showers, lunar and planetary transits, retrogrades and other notable events are gathered in one place, with deeper details available with a tap. YOUR PERSONAL GRIMOIRE A Grimoire should be alive, not just a fancy book. Carry yours in your pocket. Check what you need, add what you learn, sketch a Sigil or Bindrune when inspiration comes, or write down a spell idea before it disappears from your head. MEDITATION Some days, the only spell you need is breathing. Choose a focus — grounding, protection, manifestation, release, presence or balance — and let something as delicate as a bubble guide you into a steadier rhythm. TAROT & RUNES Pull a daily card or rune, ask a question, explore spreads and save readings that feel meaningful — or the ones that make no sense yet. Return to them later to reflect, compare and notice the patterns that only become clear with time. Featuring The Bird King Tarot by the VVitch and artist Lida Pavlova, with selected spreads from her book “The Library of Questions”. PRACTICE ALTAR Your altar can follow you. Use a photo or video of your own altar, or choose one of Liminith’s built-in spaces, to create a familiar place for your practice wherever you are. VISION BOARDS Give your intentions somewhere to gather and grow. Create Vision Boards for manifestation, direction, dreams and goals, and connect the things you’re calling into your life with golden threads. JOURNALING & SHADOW WORK For the thoughts, emotions and magical memories that need somewhere to live. Journal freely, record spell results, capture how a moment made you feel and return to your entries whenever you want to remember. The Shadow Work journal offers prompts for exploring emotions, patterns, triggers and the parts of yourself asking to be heard — even the ones usually kept hidden away. BACKUP, REMINDERS & CALENDAR Keep your practice backed up with restore tools and iCloud support across devices. Optional reminders can help you return to meditation, journaling, Moon phases, Sabbats and sky events. Bring selected Moon phases, Sabbats and astronomical events into Apple Calendar with The Liminal Year, gathering your chosen dates in one familiar place. FREE VERSION & PREMIUM Explore the core of Liminith for free and build a practice that feels like yours. Premium opens the full experience with expanded meditations, Tarot and Rune spreads, saved readings, unlimited Grimoire entries, Sigils, Bindrunes, spells and rituals, Vision Boards, personal altar uploads, expanded search, iCloud support, reminders, The Liminal Year calendar and more.

About

Roots Calendar

Features
Read full description

Roots Calendar reimagines how you experience time. Built on the Beth-Luis-Nion system, a 13-month calendar where every month has exactly 28 days and bears the name of a tree. Roots Calendar runs alongside your Gregorian life while offering a quieter, more seasonal rhythm beneath it. 13 MONTHS OF 28 DAYS Every month is identical in shape: always exactly 4 weeks, always starting on the same weekday. No more irregular months, no more counting days on your fingers. Beth (Birch) through Ruis (Elder), each with its own tree, its own keyword, its own character. YEAR DAY Between the last month and the first lies a single nameless day — Year Day. A threshold. A pause. A moment outside the normal count. YOUR CALENDAR, YOUR EVENTS Add events to any day. Color-code them. They stay on your device — nothing is sent anywhere. GOOGLE CALENDAR SYNC Optionally sync with your existing Google Calendar. Your Roots events appear alongside your regular appointments, mapped by Gregorian date. MOON PHASES See the current moon phase for any day, calculated locally with no external API. CELTIC FESTIVALS Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and the solar festivals appear automatically as read-only markers in your calendar. MULTIPLE VIEWS Month grid, week, 3-day, day, and schedule views. Switch instantly from the menu. PRIVACY FIRST All event data is stored locally on your device using SQLite. No account required. No data collection. OPEN SOURCE Roots Calendar is open source (GPL-3.0). The full source is available on GitHub. — The Beth-Luis-Nion calendar is a 20th-century poetic and spiritual tradition, drawing on genuine Celtic materials — the Ogham alphabet, medieval Irish tree-lore, and the lunisolar Coligny Calendar. It was articulated in its modern form by Robert Graves in The White Goddess (1948). It is not a recovered ancient Druidic system, but a living practice with its own rich lineage.
