Subject: Please acknowledge your sources

Hello there

I like your site however I feel it would be appropriate if your credit where you got your information from. For example, I notice that you have used my calculations for your Pagan Calendar.

I don't mind you using my calender, but it is considered polite within the Pagan community to actually acknowledge your sources.

Thanking you in advance for your assistance

Greetings Don,
If you scroll to the bottom of the Home page, you will notice the issue of aknowledgement is addressed. Your calander was not used as source material for our witches calendar, it was actually based on an almanac owned by a covener who related the information to Lady Shadow via email.... I have just compared yours and ours and some times do vary a little. I dont wish to appear rude, but why do you believe astronomical and seasonal times/dates are yours only? these are scientific facts are they not? We are happy to mention your similar calendar and any website links if you wish and will pass on your comments to Lady Shadow Owl, but do not feel that moon phases, equinoxes and solstices are the intellectual property of any one person.
Thanking you,
Mistweave,
Coven Secratary & messageboard admin,
