Not many scientists write about the Celtic cross-quarter days, but this one does. As the former director of the Hansen Planetarium in Utah, he knows his astronomy — and also his weather, his natural history, and other cultures’ practices with respect to the solar year. He writes a newspaper column called “Looking Around” from which this very readable essay is adapted.

This huge Web site, which is full of annotated links to other Web sites, rich graphics, and interesting basic information on many subjects, was created by a professor of Mythological Studies at the Pacifica Graduate Institute in California. She developed it for her graduate students, but she welcomes others. If you visit her home page, you’ll see that she offers helpful resources for teachers, homeschoolers, and others. Her materials on the Celtic cross-quarter days include a short explanation of what it was all about, numerous links to other Web sites — along with helpful annotations to help you decide which ones you might want to visit — and links to other relevant parts of her own Web site.
