In this article I intend to explore the relationship between Pythagoras and his 216 year rebirth period, the myth of the Phoenix and the Metonic cycle on which the Druidcraft calendar is based. Most of us know Pythagoras today for his mathematical theorem; That the square area of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle [...]

The tides of the world's oceans and seas are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon, which creates bulges of water in the oceans. As these bulges move around the planet they run into land, causing the sea level to rise and fall. So the most important factors in predicting the [...]
