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. Many people down the centuries have spent countless hours studying these sites in ever greater detail. Looking for the clues of meaning, ritual and how the place was constructed. We are now very confident that at [...]
There are a number of examples online regarding a 28-day 13 month lunisolar calendar with an extra day. This post will explain why this calendar is a modern invention, and has no historical basis. Before we begin, let’s take a look at some of the claims, perpetuating the fake calendar. Here is a comment I [...]

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!
According to the DruidCraft calendar we should have full moon today, but it is actually in two days. Is the calendar momentarily a bit out of sync with the moon phases?
