   Many of the classical account about the ancient Druids acknowledged   
   their attention to watching the heavens.  The three nines of the moon   
   suggests they understood the difference between a sidereal and synodic   
   month.  It also suggests they were cataloging a nightly moon position   
   relative to the stars behind the moon, which almost insists upon some   
   sort of "houses of the moon" concept.   
      
   I seem to recall we both were trying to locate an author or scholar   
   who wrote a passage using that phrase... can't recall the details though.   
   If memory serves, we wanted to find out if he had any sources or   
   references for the line.  Do you remember what I'm referring to?
