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!

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!!!

I have truly been enthralled by each of Acharya's writings! In the 2010 Astrotheology Calendar Acharya has shed rays of bright sunshine to much of the history of our celebrations and festivities. Acharya, thank you for compiling all this information into a timely reference!

As a timeless piece of liturature that you won't throw in the trash when the year ends, the 2010 Astrotheology Calendar is one of a kind! This very informational calendar not only contains colorful and significant illustrations for each month, but also features the feasts, celebrations, festivals, or holidays for every day of the year within many mythological standards throughout human history.

The calendar starts off by bestowing short descriptions of factors significant to ancient mythology and astrotheology like, The Zodiac, The Moon, What is a Myth, Days of the Week, accompanied by Christian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Babylonian, and Zoroastrian narratives and their connection to ancient astrology and mythological roots.

The end of the calendar puts an emphasis on each month including the origins of the names as well as doing comparative scrutiny of the ancient and modern calendars complimented with 65 noteworthy references.

This is a really cool product. Its St Brigid's day today.....funny how it coincides with Brigid of the Celts (a celtic goddess). And I know that because of my calendar.
