About Druid Tree Lore and Celtic Lunar Astrology
People have been marking the passage of time by the phases of the moon for millennia. Although it is impossible to say for certain because the lore and traditions were not written, many historians believe that both the Celts and Druids used a 13 month lunar calendar.  The months and symbols differ from the solar calendar with which most of us are familiar. Druidic horoscopes are often mentioned in legends.

Trees have long been a source of sacred folklore with each chosen to represent the months and having its own magickal properties. The Ogham symbols may have been devised by ancient Druids. As several of the symbols refer to trees, the ogham alphabet is often called the Tree Alphabet. These symbols are included next to the tree names which are shown in both English and Old Irish. The animal symbols are my interpretation based on various sources. The ruling planets of each sign are also noted.  The information provided here is an introduction to the wealth of knowledge concerning Druid teachings and Celtic lore.

  3. I couldn’t see The Whelk’s avatar in your list of favoured blogs. You will pay for this outrage with your life!
    PS. How’s the family? Keeping well I hope?

  5. That’s a gorgeous butterfly Mermaid. You are a very talented artist. It looks good enough to eat.
    Well, not that I eat butterflies mind you.
    That said, it’s common knowledge that we in the West will soon be forced to live on insects because meat will become too expensive and scarce. So come that day, I’ll be eating butterfly burgers with firefly fries and centipede sauce.
    Is there a course one can go on to learn how to write comments on blog posts? Maybe the WordPress community could crowdfund a place for me.
