  Astrology on the Web: Celtic Fire Festivals
The Celtic otherworld, the faerie realm, had its own river of time that constantly intersected with the flow of time in this world, changing the perceptions of the humans who were touched by its spirit.
In Celtic time we would not only experience what we could expect or hope of the future but also relive things that had been part of the past as the river of time flowed again through a place it had travelled to before.
There are no men or women in the Celtic pantheon of heroes who are not able to speak their wisdom and their feelings through song or poetry, no matter how great their prowess in battle or their skill in politics and law.

 Astrology: Between Religion and the Empirical
To understand modern astrology, it is therefore necessary to trace the way in which an originally mythical picture of the cosmos picks up natural-scientific, medicinal, and psychological knowledge, as well as nature-mystical and spiritual ideas, and forms all of these individual areas into a unique world view.
Astrology is thus thoroughly capable, by nature, of comfortably adapting its world view to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; for the creator god of these religions, who created the world, also created the heavenly bodies and their gods.
In many astrology schools as well, astrology is taught by way of esoteric doctrines, whereby it is often just a matter of very general references or fragmentary allusions to "karma" and "rebirth." A binding form of esoteric astrology in the form of a clearly defined doctrine is hardly discernable here.

 Celtic Astrology -- The Fabrication of 'Celtic' Astrology by Peter Berresford Ellis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Celtic 'tree zodiac' fabrications, the direct result of Robert Graves' invention of a tree calendar', have become an almost insurmountable barrier to any serious study of the forms of astrology that were practised by pre-Christian Celtic society.
Only when Celtic Studies began to be properly organized at university level, when serious scholars such as Sir John Rhys (1840-1915) become the first Professor of Celtic Studies at Jesus College, Oxford, in 1877, were the fabrications of Williams and his comrades identified and dismissed.
The answer, I fear, lays in the stigma placed upon the Celtic languages by their conquerors; for the key to opening the door to this knowledge lies through the Celtic languages, particularly Irish which houses the biggest repository of material in the field.

 The Celtic Zodiac
The Druids were a sect of Celtic priests who inhabited the British Isles around 1000 B.C. The Druids used a lunar calendar consisting of 13 months, each being 28 days long, plus one intercalary day.
Therefore, the Celtic Zodiac is based upon the cycle of the Moon, with the year divided into the 13 lunar months established by the Druid religion.
On the whole, the Celtic society was based upon equality and balance between the male and female...the female Druidesses being symbolized by the Dryads who lived in the sacred trees.

 Celtic Astrology: A modern Hoax -- by Michel-Gérald Boutet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Grave's proposal now serves as model for most of the contemporary Celtic buffs and pseudo-Druids so it does not come as a surprise to find it in Paterson's phoney "lunar zodiac of the Ancient Druids" as it is called in her "Handbook of Celtic Astrology".
Her sense of etymology is just as bad as her knowledge Celtic mythology, for example she gives Luis (Rowan) as stemming from Luisiu when the established etymology of Rowan is is Alisos.
Natro (Adder in Celtic) always meant snake, it was latter used as a pejorative term by the early Christian monks to discredit the druids in that Natro puns with Nadrô "to slip" (Nadromi, "to move as a snake").
