Book Description
Travel 2,500 years back in time to find out where many of our modern holiday traditions originated. • Charming full-color ink and watercolor illustrations throughout. • This valuable resource for teachers and parents uses hands-on activities, natural science facts, and observations to explore the concepts of measuring time, making calendars, and marking seasonal celebrations. • Shows how our popular holiday traditions are rooted in nature, beginning as the seasonal festivals of an ancient society. Children love holiday celebrations but most don't know why they wear masks on Halloween or watch for the groundhog on February 2. Now they can discover that many of our modern traditions started with the festivals of the ancient Celts. The Celts were farming people, so their festivals marked the important events of the agricultural year. Imbolc, in very early spring, celebrated the birth of new lambs, while Samhain, in late fall, celebrated the end of the growing season and the beginning of winter. If we look at our modern calendar, we'll find Groundhog Day falling where Imbolc did, Halloween where the Celts celebrated Samhain, and a host of other holiday correspondences. That's because descendants of the Celts were among the first Europeans to settle in the New World, bringing their holiday traditions with them. In a world of electric lights and store-bought foods, The Ancient Celtic Festivals can help children make the connections to nature that their ancestors did. Whimsically illustrated activity pages invite them to bake a harvest corn bread, stage a spring festival, or warm up the cold depths of winter with hot spiced cider. Teachers, librarians, parents, and children alike will welcome this book as a fun-filled resource.

Book Description
Today's popular calendar was forced upon the people. Only after 2000 years has it been able to attain some kind of accuracy. Before this was imposed, people lived according to other calendars. In Europe, one of these calendars was the Geltic calendar, which was modelled after the moon and the sun. It was designed for the Geltic lands and, thus, it encompassed an area spanning from the Baltic Sea to Northwest Africa. I reconstructed this calendar based on folklore, ancient scripts, and my own experiences. The basis of the calendar is the calendar of Coligny, which is thousands of years old and was found in the Western Alps. The calendar is wholistic and therefore incorporates nature and the stars. It also interacts with the close environment. Therefore, one can find references to gods and goddesses within it, who are reflected in rivers such as the River Severn in Britain, the Danube, the Vistula as well as the Tagus River in Spain. The use of this calendar was persecuted by Christianity, Islam, and the Romans. However, its role over the course of time can be splendidly retraced in folklore. The universe is made out of several worlds, known as "tirs", and these are separated into three levels. The Gelts, indigenous peoples, and other ancient peoples already had this knowledge. This wisdom was--and is--still persecuted by the Church. I also added a global version of the calendar to this book, which is closely tied to the rhythm of the Earth. The book is over 380 pages long and sheds light on the following topics: The history of the calendar in Europe Cyclic festivals, half-moon festivals, and more... The persecution of the Geltica and the Celtic areas The gods and goddesses who are reflected in the landscape The rivers and mountains in Europe as well as in Northwest Africa, and their connection to the gods and goddesses An accurate calculation of the five-year cycle, the four seasons, and the two halves of the year Why the idea of a "Germanic" people and a "Europe" is nothing more than an artificial construction Many festivals, which are based on experiences and sources The three levels: the "Upworlds", the "Middleworlds", and the "Downworlds" Dragons and mythological beings The Rix Rigana cycle, or the "royal cycle" It also situates the festivals within the current, popular calendar Includes prophecies from folklore Includes information on several plants and their meaning Includes a global calendar for the Earth

Book Description
Among the rich legacies of the Celtic civilization is the tree calendar, an ancient form of horoscope. The ancient Celts revered and respected trees, seeing them as living beings symbolic of the cycle of life, death, and renewal. Each tree ruled over specific groups of days during the year, and people born during those days possess the characteristics of their guardian tree. Twenty-two treesincluding the oak, chestnut, poplar, lime, and yewmake up the calendar. Readers will discover which tree influences and governs their lives and how its personality affects them. Illustrated with charming drawings of the trees, and with endpapers showing the full circular calendar, this book also includes information about the ancient Celtstheir history, how they viewed the world and the passing seasons, and their wise men, the druids."
