   I'm interested in stories featuring a time period of   
   seven years from mythology, folklore, religious history   
   and even regular history.   
      
   This is because I want to find parallels to the Buddha's   
   seven ascetic/wilderness/trial years.  I already know   
   of some celtic ones on http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/celtic.html .
