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 [...]

For centuries legends have persisted that directly link the phases of the moon to the behaviours of human beings. 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 [...]
The Druidcraft calendar can be used for many additional purposes beyond being a simple calendar.

This kind of identification of an ominous moment would of course be possible using the Druidcraft Calendar too, but it is entirely absent from modern astrology or esoteric gregorian calendar studies.
I am so thankful to find this group and calendar. I was trying to expand my personal calendar to have all these movements, I pictured this exactly in my mind but could never get it all together. For 15 years I had my own that I had made following the SUN ORBITS AND LUNAR CALENDAR from the 2nd chapter of Enoch. It is very simular but not as accurate. I am looking forward to this addition to my Daily Ritual!
