calendar    ISBN 13: 9780956597168 | ISBN 10: 0956597165

30 years anniversary: Devised, written and illustrated by Freda Davis since 1986.
 
This calendar draws inspiration from the common spirit of different European traditions and mythologies; e.g. from the Gaul's Colgny Calendar, the Celtic Tree Calendar, Druidic and Anglo-Saxon traditions. Some guidance is given here of the character of each moon season, with attributed characteristics, associated trees or plants, and names by which they have been personified and sometimes worshipped. The Germanic Rune and its name are given, with its meaning in English. The Sun signs from Astrology have been included, and letters from the druidic alphabet.
 
Using this calendar you can meet each season as a friend, and be at one with the earth.
 
The calendar is based on the pagan tradition of celebrating the cycle of the year. Celebration and awareness of the changing seasons is health giving and brings us close to nature. Religion, or Res Ligio means the rules by which we live, or the celebrations and duties imposed by the natural order and cycle of the seasons. These are supported by myths and tales which give meaning to our lives. Significant days from religions and other traditions have been included. Some of these point to links with natural events and seasonal concerns, and provide common ground for celebration. The philosophy of this calendar is our shared belonging to mother earth.
