I'm just putting this link here so I can find it moving forward... I did not write this, this is from Peter Berresford Ellis who was Educated at Brighton College of Art and the University of London, Ellis graduated from North East London Polytechnic (now part of the University of East London) in Celtic Studies in 1989. He also earned a master's degree in Celtic Studies from the University of East London (1993).
The Celtic 'tree zodiac' fabrications, the direct result of Robert Graves'
invention of a tree calendar', have become an almost insurmountable barrier
to any serious study of the forms of astrology that were practiced by pre-Christian
Celtic society. For fifty years, from the time Graves' published his book
The White Goddess (1946), a veritable industry has been built up
among his acolytes, which preach artificial astrological ideas based on
Graves' spurious arguments. Some have even published books on what they
fondly term 'Celtic Astrology', manufacturing a completely artificial 'astrological
system'.
