	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/3753 Cruithne
		The asteroid is named after the Cruithne people (also known as the Priteni or the Picts) who inhabited Britain between 800 and 500 B.C. ; the name may specifically refer to their legendary first leader, also called Cruithne.
		Cruithne is approximately 5 km in diameter, and its closest approach to Earth is approximately 30 times the separation between Earth and the Moon (12 Gm or million kilometres).
		Cruithne's distance from the Sun and orbital speed vary a lot more than the Earth's, so from our point of view Cruithne actually follows a kidney bean-shaped horseshoe orbit ahead of the earth, taking slightly less than one year to complete a circuit of the "bean".

	Cruithne
		The Cruithne (CRU-ith-nae) inhabit the taiga and highlands of northeastern Anuir.
		Cruithne technology is not particularly advanced and can be viewed as roughly equivalent to the technologies of the Middle Age cultures.
		The Cruithne are a wild and hardy people.

	VI. The Cruithne
		They were a matrilineal people, tracing royal lineage and inheritance through the female line, and in pagan times had worshiped the mother-goddess of fertility.
		The Cruithne of Scotland are the original Albans, or natives of Albany (Scotland north of the Firth of Forth), and are commonly referred to as Picts.
		This happened during the ninth and tenth centuries (the Cruithne of Ireland had lost theirs centuries earlier), and came as a result of the merger of the Pictish kingdom with that of the patrilineal Erainnian tribe of Dal Riada.

		Changes in the orbit of the planet may also be responsible for the ice ages that have covered significant portions of the surface in glacial sheets.
		Cruithne was discovered in 1986 and follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun at about the same average orbital radius as the Earth.
		However, from the point of view of the moving Earth, Cruithne follows a horseshoe orbit around the Sun that avoids close proximity with the Earth.

		People thought it would be useful in medicine for early diagnosis and treatment but had concerns about its reliability and long-term potential side effects.
		The near-Earth asteroid 3753 Cruithne is in an unusual orbit about that of the Earth, one which is known in the lingo of celestial mechanics as being co-orbital with the Earth (meaning it shares the Earth's orbit with it) and, more particularly, as being of the "horseshoe" type.
		Cruithne is on an spiraling horseshoe orbit, similar to the one sketched above.

	Æruki
		In Cruithne lands, priest of aerukis act primarily as "village priests" for the rural and wilderness Cruithne.
		Cruithne priest of aerukis do not distance themselves from those that they tend; they hunt, work, drink, live and love as any other member of their community.
		Most Cruithne chieftans have a priest of Æruki as an advisor, and their input is valued on all matters.

		Old Irish cru(i)then-túath).[2] There were also Cruithne in Ulster, in particular the kings of Dál nAraidi.[3] The Britons and early Welsh of the south knew them as Prydyn, or the more modern pryd; Britain and Briton come from the same root.[4] Their Old English name gave the modern Scots form Pechts.
		Although the popular impression of the Picts may be one of an obscure, mysterious people, this is far from being the case.
		The phrase vitro inficiunt is traditionally translated as "stain with woad", but could as well have meant “infect with glass”-describing a scarification ritual which left dark blue scars-or “dye with glaze”, forming a direct reference to tattooing.

	Look What I Found In My Brain!: The Earth's Moons
		However, fewer people know that an asteroid discovered in 1986 is locked in a complex but stable orbit around Earth, making it technically a second moon.
		Cruithne was named after the first Celtic tribe to populate the British Isles -- this tribe is more commonly known as the Picts.
		Many people had theorized, seriously or fancifully, the existence of a second moon long before before Cruithne was discovered.

		The largest concentration of Celtic people in the world is in the United States and yet many, and I dare say most, people of Celtic descent have absolutely no idea as to their primal origins or the richness of their ancestral traditions.
		These people, spoken of as 'The People of Peace', were spiritually advanced and adherents of an animistic faith that worked/works very closely with the earth.

	The Britons
		Two thousand years before the Christian era, legend says that the Cruithne, who lived on the Continent, were hired by the Milesians of Ireland as mercenaries.
		The Irish people who lived about Inver Slaigne in the extreme southwest were, at the time, plagued by a tribe of virulent visitors from the east who were decimating the population using poisoned arrows.
		These people soon found this an unhappy arrangement and fled across the Shannon into Connaught, the great wilderness favoured and dominated by the Firbolgs.

		More often than not they are considered to be the aboriginal Scots people and it is perfectly feasible that they first came to this land when the glaciers from the ice age began to recede around 6000BC.
		Intermarriage between the 2 people was rife and it would seem that the Scots culture prevailed and Gaelic then became the main language of Scotland thereafter, at least for a little while.
		Much later of course other peoples came to Scotland in the form of the Vikings and the Normans and these people too would leave their mark on the country and provide the elements that would shape Scotland into becoming the country it is today.

	Cruithne - Earth's Kid Sister? - Astrology in the Age of Aquarius
		Cruithne is about three miles in diameter and it moves in a path that takes it from outside the orbit of Mars towards the orbit of Mercury.
		Fortunately the orbit of Cruithne is inclined by about 20 degrees, so collisions are unlikely - at least according to its orbit as understood at present.
		Cruithne is much more like a tiny sister to the Earth, orbiting the Sun with much the same period.

	Orkneyjar - Who were the Picts?
		In much the same way as the term “European” is used today to describe people from a number of countries, Pict was a blanket term applied to an agglomeration of different people in the northern Scotland, probably with different cultures and, if the Life of St Columba is to believed, language.
		However, their Irish term, Cruithni, meaning "the people of the designs", seems to parallel the Roman name so it may be that Picti was an adaptation of the name they called themselves.
		The extent of this allegiance is debatable but it seems likely that people of Orkney maintained considerable independence by virtue of their isolation - an independence that may have prompted certain measures to keep the islands under control.

	The Celtic People
		Scrutiny reveals the fact that Celtic-speaking peoples are of differing types—short and dark as well as tall and fairer Highlanders or Welshmen, short, broad-headed Bretons, various types of Irishmen.
		The type is found among the Slavs, in parts of Germany and Scandinavia, and in modern France in the region of Caesar’s “Celtae,” among the Auvergnats, the Bretons, and in Lozere and Jura.
		Broca assumed that the dark, brachycephalic people whom he identified with Caesar’s “Celtae,” differed from the Belgae, were conquered by them, and acquired the language of their conquerors, hence wrongly called Celtic by philologists.

	More about the Picts
		In the beginning of time, Cruithne, son of Cinge, father of the Picts, ruled for 100years.
		Cruithne’s seven sons left their mark on Alba – in fact some place names can be traced back to them e.g.
		When I lived there, I knew people who stated that they were not Scots but Picts!) From the “Pictish Chronicles” most historians agree that there were 69 Pictish kings.

	Curious About Astronomy: Have astronomers discovered Earth's second moon?
		The orbit of Cruithne is also very inclined with respect to Earth's orbit around the Sun, so it moves in and out of the plane that the most of the planets orbit in.
		Second, objects trapped in orbits like Cruithne's are only expected to remain in the orbit for a few thousand to tens of thousands of years, which may sound like a long time, but it's actually fairly short in the timescale of Solar System history.
		After Cruithne escapes from its present orbit, it may become a Near Earth Asteroid on a different close-to-Earth orbit, or move onto an orbit more similar to our Moon's orbit, in which case it would be more like a "real" moon.

	what _is_celtic
		Celtic denotes a people who are descended from one of the current Celtic "fringe" provinces of Western Europe.
		Since Celtic people were pushed to the border of western civilization, the surviving Celtic culture can offer the richness of a world that is egalitarian, diverse, and is intimately connected to the land.
		Within a land region roughly 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the state of Oregon, there live people descended from indigenous Cruithne (Pictish) peoples, Celts from Ireland, Britons from indigenous tribes to the south and Norse in the Islands and Eastern Coastal areas.

		The theory was that if enough indigenous people could be convinced of their own incompetence and that their own political, economic, and cultural systems were evil, then they would reject their own indigenous nations.
		The objective of each state is the same: elimination of the indigenous population as a distinct nation and the exploitation of indigenous people, lands, and resources for the benefit of the state.

		In an time when the history of a nation or people could only be preserved through vocal means, the importance of language was paramount.
		The people of Dal Riata moved southward from the Ulaid, which encompassed the present-day province of Ulster into the region now known as Munster, where they became involved in a war between two kingdoms already established there.
		The name of ‘Pict’, given to the Cruithne by the Romans, comes from the Latin word, ‘Picti’ which means ‘painted ones’ or ‘tattooed warriors.’ They were one tribe which the Romans were never successful in subduing.
