The Cnóbha Celtic Ogham Calendar is similar to the galdercraft calender in that it shows all of the lunar cycles for any given 19 year period. Rather than being based in Anglo-Saxon Germanic cosmology like the galdercraft calendar, the Cnóbha calendar is rooted in the cultures of the English, Romano and Irish Celts.
I took some artistic and ancestral liberties and speculated that the celts might have used the Ogham for calendar purposes similar to how the Norse used the runes. So the technical calendar system is modeled after runic calendars known from since the 13th century. For the month names I was inspired by the Coligny Calendar, a luni solar, metonic calendar discovered in France from the 2nd century.
The design theme is inspired by the Lindisfarne Gospels, an illuminated manuscript created in 700 in England.
The whole calendar is circled by the glyphs found at the lunar solar temple of Knowth or Cnóbha found in the county of Meath in Ireland and thought to be built around 3200 BC.
