Celtic Time

Celtic Time explores how ancient Celtic societies perceived and measured time, deeply intertwined with the natural world. Eschewing modern clocks, the Celts relied on festivals, lunar cycles, and seasonal transitions to structure their lives. These methods weren't just about marking days; they shaped their social structures, agricultural practices, and spiritual beliefs, revealing a sophisticated understanding of earth sciences geography. For example, key festivals like Samhain and Beltane held significant temporal and cultural importance.

The book delves into the Celtic calendar, examining the significance of festivals like Imbolc and Lughnasadh, detailing their rituals and temporal importance. It analyzes lunar observations, revealing how the Celts used them to regulate agriculture and inform religious ceremonies. Furthermore, it investigates the Celts' deep insight into seasonal transitions, tracking solstices and equinoxes, and their influence on daily life.

Celtic Time demonstrates that the Celts possessed a complex understanding of time, reflecting a profound connection to nature and a sophisticated knowledge system.
