   No, I am trying to complete an attempt by early April Fool’s Day,   
   and Saudi Arabia claims to have sighted the moon today, so   
   I began a new global new age mystic activation sequence   
   attempt at 2329 UTC March 29, 2025.   
      
   Of relevance to Ireland, Amergin and Fionn had the common   
   seven years of low/working/wilderness/foresaken years.   
   Jacob had 7+an 11 year sunspot cycle=18. I have had   
   7+2 11 year sunspot cycles=29. Jesus and Gwydion   
   had 3. Rama, Moses, and Mohammed had 3+11=14.   
      
   The common seven is mentioned in this poem,   
   from John Matthews book Taliesin..., on p. 90:   
      
   Seven years your right, under a flagstone, in a quagmire,   
   Without food, without taste, but the thirst you ever torturing,   
   The law of the judges your lesson, and prayer your language:   
   And if you like to return   
   You will be, for a time, a Druid, perhaps.   
   (Ancient Irish Poem)   
      
   But anyway, this is getting off topic for the music groups,   
   so if you are interested further see alt.religion.druid .
