At 1158 today we'll also see the last quarter moon - transitioning to the dark half of the month as we turn to the light half of the year.

Probably there are Signs and Portents but I've not had time to meditate and at any rate am not a prophet. It's an interesting conjunction.

Although almost certainly the Druids of Britain & Gaul wouldn't have given a fuck as there's no evidence they cared about the solar calendar

Strictly lunar for timekeeping, your druids. Neolithic Britons, who were pre-celtic and thus pre-druid were the sun worshippers.

They built the great henges, barrows, and cursuses. Cursi? Cursodes? Anyway. Druids liked the moon. The Neolithic Britons liked the sun.

The druidical types have us the 4 intercalary holidays generally known by their Irish names: Imbolc, That May One, Lughnasadh, Samhain.

So I mean Irish druids paid exactly enough attention to major solar moments to put holidays nowhere near them.

I've heard people claim that Lugh might have been a sun god but I am sceptical.
