Ah yes: "Post coitum omne animal triste." Tami Whitehead pointed out the Gravesean 13-month lunar calendar in THE WHITE GODDESS. Yes, precisely: the thing is there, already made, with names (based on trees like "Wild Apple") and dates and spine-tingling festivals. Part and parcel of the big Graves "White Goddess" package. And I do not detect any details pointing towards such a system in TAD. =mantis=

Probably because it isn't there. Specific Otherworld dates (including month name, 294, and number, 128,130) are given several times in the book. The calendar in the Otherworld is the same as ours. -Roy
