The Celtic Moon
Calendar
Technical
information
The calculations of the moon's phases and individual moon names are (c) Merlin
1984-2006.
These calculations are done in javascript. The calculation results are stored in a
session cookie. This is a temporary browser memory unit which is erased when you close
your browser. Subsequent pages can access the result (the cookie) rather than recalculate
everything. If you have either cookies or javascript disabled in your browser, you won't
be able to see any results.
The dates and times of the moon's phases and the solar festivals are universal and the same
for the whole globe. The cross quarter day times are the times of sunset. The ancient
Celts started their day with sunset, and their year with winter (Samhain, October 31st).
The actual times shown are Central European Time (GMT + 1 hr), with appropriate summertime
added. Summertime in Europe including the Netherlands runs from the last sunday in March to
the last sunday in October. More Dutch summertime details can be
found at De wettelijke tijdregeling in Nederland
(in Dutch). The times of sunset are calculated for Utrecht, central Netherlands, latitude
52°00'N, longitude 5°00'E.
