Book Description

September 15, 2009

The 2010 Astrotheology Calendar charts holidays from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and elsewhere, extending into the modern era such as within Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, in a unique format never done before. This calendar is designed to demonstrate not only the ancient astromythology and nature-worshipping religion but also the comparisons between faiths, revealing their similarities, as well as any possible correspondences. For example, numerous Christian celebrations were deliberately placed to supplant Pagan predecessors, including not only Christmas and Easter but also many "saint days." These festivities and many more are discussed in this 47-page calendar-book, packed full of intriguing information by the author of The Christ Conspiracy.

Excerpt:

...for purposes of our study the various Egyptian festival dates have been converted to when they would have occurred after they were fixed with the Alexandrian Calendar, specifically to the 30th or 31st year of Augustus's reign, which corresponds to 1 AD/CE....

Major Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter are founded upon Pagan celebrations and possess obvious astrotheological significance. In addition to these festivals, incorporated here are a number of feast days of Christian "saints," because these individuals are either clearly mythical, usually based on Pagan gods and goddesses whose worship the Church was attempting to co-opt, or partially historical, with their names and/or biographies altered for the same reason of superseding Pagan gods and goddesses. Their feast days are included in order to provide insight into what they may have replaced in the non- and pre-Christian festival calendars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding in all ways!, November 7, 2009
This review is from: The 2010 Astrotheology Calendar (Calendar)
The Astrotheology Calendar is a brilliant concept! The 23 pages of text enable one to have an even broader understanding of the history of astrotheology not covered by Acharya's previous works, by focusing on celebration dates, holidays, festivals and their evolutionary changes being usurped by later religions, such as Christianity.

All these pages of calendar text covers a broad spectrum of topics from basic introductory explanations for beginners to a variety solar and lunar calendars. Also includes brief explanations of a variety of religions and their calendars such as the Egyptian on page 6 or Zoroastrian on page 10.

I found the information concerning the "Solar festivals" marking the solstices & equinoxes and the "Celtic Fire festivals" marking the peak of each season especially interesting since it was new to me. These dates making "Wheel of the year" or "Sunwheel" are highlighted in the calendar by giving that day a color - which I thought was grand because it will ensure I don't miss it or forget.

This 2010 Astrotheology Calendar is one of the most helpful tools I've ever found for my interest in comparative religion & mythology.

I also appreciated the "cool stuff" section.

And there are sources for further reading and a bibliography.

What a totally cool idea!

5.0 out of 5 stars Historical accuracy recaptured...in a calendar, November 5, 2009
This review is from: The 2010 Astrotheology Calendar (Calendar)
History has always been written by the victors. For nearly two thousand years the victors in Western Civilization's war for souls has been Christianity. They have forged artifacts, historicized past events, and rewritten history to suit the needs of those in power and in control of the clergy. The 2010 Astrotheology Calendar takes a significant step in recapturing this lost historical accuracy. So much of the history of Pagan religions, thought destroyed by the attempts of people such as Emperor Theodosius and the violent censuring mobs of Christian zealotry, is once again regained here in this wonderfully informative document.

Each day of each month reveals new celebrations that long predate Christianity and yet were usurped by the social engineering efforts that were so crucial to the Christian myth. For those interested in historical accuracy, and for those simply curious as to the origins of the many holidays that we take for granted today, The 2010 Astrotheology Calendar is a must have.

I absolutely love this calendar!!!
