This section gathers systems that present themselves as recoveries of ancient practice but were, on the evidence, composed recently. It holds the Celtic tree calendar drawn from Robert Graves's The White Goddess (1948), Guido von List's Armanen runes of 1908, and the Dreamspell count published by Jose and Lloydine Arguelles in 1990.
Each borrows the prestige and some of the material of a genuine ancient tradition (the ogham, the historical futharks, the Maya tzolkin), while being in its actual form a twentieth-century creation.
