document | The Lumbard Totem poles, markers or pickets, of 51 rural festivals into Alpine and Cisalpine ancient Calendar (Lombardia-2a)

montagnard of Trentine valleys

The Calendar of Lumbard and mailander or mailänder culture, like that of other Alpine hinterland populations, features a series of 51 markers or totem poles to organize four working seasons. The rythm these totems uses day-by-day is a chian of twelve and 56 days recurring many times by many markers, so facilitating a quick recognition of time for task, work, job, and rest or festivals. The thickness of this mathematical build is mechanized by proverbs, rituals, words, myths, and few taboos, but here we commence first by the bare numbers.
