The Month of Choki
When there are more than three new moons, and thus months, in a season, the fourth is the Month of Choki, a time of ill-omen. The Month of Choki occurs about every other year. The exact placement of the month of Choki is sometimes complicated, when the new moon and the solar events are near to each other. In these cases, the Tribe's astrologists divine the proper order of the months from the signs the Loas send them, and report to the Tribe.
