For a simple parapegma, the Druidcraft Calendar can be used to track and predict an impressive array of astronomical phenomena. In this article, I would like to introduce yet another use for the calendar; The prediction of meteor showers. As with all Druidcraft Calendar usage for predictions, the key is a little astronomical knowledge. Just [...]
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 [...]
In the era of fake news, misinformation and the dangers it can pose, it may seem a little trivial to try and clear up confusion around astronomical questions. Yet here we are seeing yet another misunderstanding spreading across social media and I can't resist. I am of course talking about the upcoming Blue Moon of [...]
If you are going to research Druids and Calendars it will not be very long before you come across the Coligny Calendar. This engraved bronze tablet was discovered in 1897 in Coligny France, once the home of the Sequini tribe and for this reason it is also known as the Sequini Calendar. A similar calendar [...]
For some, the allure and mystery of Stonehenge and other sites like it is a driving force of (re)discovery.

We are now very confident that at [...]

A history of Calendars: Babylon to Greece A history of Calendars: The Nebra Sky DiskA history of Calendars: [...]

In addition to the legends of werewolves, the word lunacy derives from the word for the moon, Luna, because of the supposed effect of the moon in causing madness. By the 1980s there were over 80 [...]
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 [...]
As you may have already noticed, this website is largely focused on the exploration of the 19 year cycle of the sun and the moon known as the Metonic cycle, and its place in history and the Druidic tradition. In the previous articles in this series we have discussed ancient monuments and artefacts that measure [...]
