I’ve read that druid new moon is six days after new moon and
that that is when mistletoe is cut with a golden sickle. Is
that done in the morning or evening? Also is new moon
the dark of moon, as on modern calendars, or the first
horn of moon, as in some traditions? I suspect that new
moon here is dark of moon and then six days after new
moon is just before first quarter, when some accounts
have the Buddha reaching enlightenment/awakening (other
accounts say it was full moon). Also while I have had
five waning crescent inspirations, I am inclined to think
that the Salmon of Wisdom of Fionn is likely to represent
the waxing crescent period that ends a period of low
or wilderness (of the mind, and sometimes actual) years,
which for some past figures were seven years but for me
have lasted longer.
