Druidic Calendar
“Druids follow the eightfold Wheel of the Year,” he says, “which means that we have something to do every six weeks. It’s a useful period of time—you always have the next moment in sight. It creates a pattern through the year.”
“Four solar festivals, linked to solstices and equinoxes, and four pastoral ones in between, celebrating key moments in the lived experience of the year”
Except it’s already messy. 8 times 6 is 48. You’ve got a whole month missing. I do like the idea of focusing on six weeks, though. It does seem like a good amount.
