"The French archaeologist J. Monard speculated
that it (Coligny Calendar) was recorded by (Celtic) druids
wishing to preserve their tradition of timekeeping in a time
when the Julian calendar was imposed (repeat

Empire."

10:21As a curious stranger, I
looked in on the Celtic New Year (Halloween) celebrations last
Friday evening on the Hill of Tara.
During my visit I
got the opportunity to talk a little with a number of the
ladies in question, and the conclusion I reached was that
these people fully deserve lots, and lots, and lots of
support.
All of the "ladies of Tara" I spoke with
appeared (to me) to be motivated by a very potent "social
energy" that is gentle, benign, and intelligent -- exactly
what the world desperately needs much more of at the present
time (as I see things at least).
Epilogue:
"The
Gaulish (Celtic) Coligny Calendar was found in Coligny, Ain,
France (46°23′N 5°21′E / 46.383, 5.35) near Lyon in 1897,
along with the head of a bronze statue of a youthful male
figure. It is a lunisolar calendar."
"The French
archaeologist J. Monard speculated that it was recorded by
druids wishing to preserve their tradition of timekeeping in a
time when the Julian calendar was imposed (repeat IMPOSED)
throughout the Roman Empire."

"All the Gauls (Celts) assert that
they are descended from the god
Dis
(abbreviation for
Dis Pater, meaning
Father of Riches), and say that this
tradition has been handed down by the Druids." (
