The Poduktionstermin of each image is in close relationship to the actual time period in the Celtic calendar. Beginning in the night of 31 October to 1 November with the Samhain festival are defined eight year periods, and thus eight production hours.
The individual image information comes from the mythological traditions and from the associated Celtic / Germanic icons and symbols as well as philosophical approaches to the meaning of the festival and holidays in the past and in the now. Supports
