The Druid Calendar

All righty then. The calendar is completed and ready to go. Here it is, diagrammatically represented. Note: I had to make some minor revisions to the mock up calendar first presented in this venue on the 12th of DY 1 under the title, A Druid Calendar for These Parts. But the inverted three gallon bucket still represents the stygian darkness between Earth and Ogma.

All righty then. Here we go on our annual trip around old Ogma Sunface. It is Day 73 of this very dangerous journey, plagued as we are by rising temperatures and fatter babies. The season Polar Bear, also known as Polaris, is almost at an end. Anon, our brief spring, Hope Remains, shall briefly invigorate these parts, ending far too, anon. Then we ride along through the long hot misery of Beelzebubberiffic. Many shall succumb to the warm embrace of the Wickerman during this upcoming Beelzebubberiffic. Only the air conditioned and irrigated shall prosper. Those of us that are still here after Beelzebubberiffic shall enjoy a brief time with Olwen White Track. Then it is Polaris, that some call Polar Bear, again. Hark! Druid Year 2 shall have begun for the survivors, on the day of the the Polar Bear or Polaris Solstice, even after Polaris or Polar Bear, the season, has already commenced for the survivors.
