of the fifth month of the fifty fifth year has any magical significance. My
answer to this question is no, there is no significance. There are those of the
hermetic disciplines that may argue that such a string of numbers holds great
power but they tend to hold great faith in formulas, equations and numbers.
Sadly, I attend an institution where the hermatic disciplines are what matters,
and the shamanistic ones are looked at as crude and useless, though no mage in
these past 44 years of sixth world has come close to the power of the Great
Ghost Dance. These dates have no significance in that they were created by man
and not by the world. In fact, they are not even the original dates that they
started out as on a annual rotation. In the time of the Roman Empire a few
Ceasars rearranged the calenders to suit there purposes. The more important
dates are those pertaining to the moon, the stars and the sun. Since these are
intimately ties to life, they are also tied to magic which is a part of the
life. Times such as the solstice and eclipses are very important in that they
have a large effect on the world and the metaplanes. Remember, the farther you
abstract something from its original form in hopes of understanding, the farther
you will be from the true meaning.*****

I also like the solitice and eclipse part, especially since a certain "black
skinned elf" was born during a lunar eclipse on the spring
solstice.]<<<<<
