I've already done up Lunar Calendars in a graphics program based on passages in the bible. When I read the book of Enoch his Lunar Calendar seemed to mirror those passages perfectly, although admittedly I need to research this in more depth to be sure. Haven't gotten around to it yet cause the bible calendar took me two months of steady work so I gotta gear up before I'm ready for another big project like this.

As far as the Solar Calendar is concerned we use the Gregorian (not Julian) Calendar. Julian missed the adjustments needed that Gregory made up for by making a leap year to add an extra day. Enoch however did not make the same mistake as Julian and includes this adjustment. I would like to eventually do up Lunar, Solar & overall Astronomy graphics for his book.

It's more than a passing interest and it's great to meet someone like-minded. Unfortunately as you pointed out many of the other people out there interested in this are "fringe". This book has been misused & abused for anything and everything such as Aryan race beliefs to astrology and now Ecumenicalism (all religions are the same). Someone out there always seems to have an agenda and rarely can they just enjoy something bigger than themselves. Something that has survived millenia to tell it's story and give us a glimpse of ourselves and what Jesus may have meant when he said "As in the days of Noah".

Ordinarily I'd bump by saying, "God be with you." Now I'll bump by saying that "God IS with you." Thanks.

This should make for an interesting fall and winter study!

How can one be added to the ping list?
