Dr Serena Roney Dougal - Altered States of Time: Faery and the Celtic Lunar Calendar

Celtic faery lore and its associated calendar systems offer a unique framework for understanding subjective time shifts and non-ordinary states of consciousness. These myths often describe experiences where individuals step outside standard time, paralleling modern physical concepts of relativity and suggesting profound intersections between human perception and cosmic cycles. Interactions with sacred ancestral landscapes, such as stone circles or long barrows, frequently anchor these phenomena, as these sites are designed to align with specific solar and lunar events. By engaging with these locations during key celestial transits, individuals can access altered states, marking a tangible link between physical reality, sacred place, and potential psychokinesis.
