Observances of the Moon

Using the work of Professor Olmsted, we have adapted the Gaulish calendar lunar months into a ritual calendar. 

Our observances related to the moon are also inspired by Alexei Kondratiev's "The Apple Branch" and his innovation of using the Song of Amairgen to inspire us to relate to the lunar cycle in a Celtic cultural context. For more background on this dynamic, please reference pages 221-252

In our practice, we honor the lunar cycle by recognizing the beginning of each month by celebrating the coming of the new moon, as well as the full moon when the waxing cycle gives way to waning. 

Our current ritual lunar calendar is as follows:
