I've already done up Lunar Calendars in a graphics program based on passages in the bible. When I read the book of Enoch his Lunar Calendar seemed to mirror those passages perfectly, although admittedly I need to research this in more depth to be sure. Haven't gotten around to it yet cause the bible calendar took me two months of steady work so I gotta gear up before I'm ready for another big project like this.

As far as the Solar Calendar is concerned we use the Gregorian (not Julian) Calendar. Julian missed the adjustments needed that Gregory made up for by making a leap year to add an extra day. Enoch however did not make the same mistake as Julian and includes this adjustment. I would like to eventually do up Lunar, Solar & overall Astronomy graphics for his book.

It's more than a passing interest and it's great to meet someone like-minded. Unfortunately as you pointed out many of the other people out there interested in this are "fringe". This book has been misused & abused for anything and everything such as Aryan race beliefs to astrology and now Ecumenicalism (all religions are the same). Someone out there always seems to have an agenda and rarely can they just enjoy something bigger than themselves. Something that has survived millenia to tell it's story and give us a glimpse of ourselves and what Jesus may have meant when he said "As in the days of Noah".

In this case the 'agenda' is easily discerned; the book of Enoch is clear and specific on who and what the Nephilim were, and the modernists will not accept the very idea that the demons are the spirits of half human, half cherub beings. In fact, some try to deny the existance of demons at all.

Thank you so much for your post! And congratulations on your work on the Lunar Calendar! I do hope you'll share your findings with us here.

You might be interested in checking out this analysis of the Enochian calendar. It was the second part of the Latter Day Saints article excerpted above.

Indeed, the book of Enoch has become extremely popular with fringe philosophies and new agers. It is challenging to weed through all those hits when searching online in order filter down the historical information we need for this research. LOL! Oh well, the effort has been worth it.

Great catch on the phrase "in the days of Noah!" Thank you!

The best calendar to date has been the one by Omar Kkayyám. (It wasn't adopted by the Persians or Arabs either.) Omar suggested 31 leap years for each 128 years. This is accurate enough that tidal forces will change the Earth's orbit before enough errors accumulate to need an intercalculary adjustment. Gregory's committee did know about Omar's work. They rejected the idea in because they considered the 4 and 100 year adjustments to be easier to handle.
