Abstract. The article deals with the problem of the modern system of pagan chronology, where the issue of the beginning of a new calendar year is the most important one. The analysis of neo-pagan ideologues’ narratives makes it possible to identify several versions of modern pagan associations connected with the time of the beginning of a new year (the main variants of the pagan "New Year" relate to natural astronomical phenomena and author’s versions). The researchers have also attempted to clarify the question of whether there is a universal calendar in native faith environment at the present moment.
