Celtic: The Coligny Calendar. A lunisolar calendar of the ancient Continental Celts (the Gauls), discovered in Coligny, Ain, France, in 1897. A similar calendar was also found nearby at Villards d'Heria. This is how the Celts reckoned Time. Contrary to popular belief, they did *not* have a "Celtic Tree Calendar," which was purely a fictional invention of the author Robert Graves, for his book "The White Goddess."

Coligny Calendar - The Celts reckoned time in nights instead of days (fortnight = 14 days). 15 nights constituted the bright time of the month (increasing moon), while 15 nights constituted the dark time of the month (decreasing moon). The Celtic year was divided into four seasons, each with an introductory festival. The year starts in the autumn with the month Samonios (seed-fall) :

Beltane! First Day of Summer if you're following the Celtic Calendar, or high spring if on the North American/Indigenous calendar. Southern Hemisphere celebrates Samhain. I'm in love with the whole concept of how community was connected through a central fire during Beltane. Two questions I'm thinking of are: What in my life/beingness constitutes a central fire? How can I connect with my community through a central cause or theme? Blessed be.
