My above attempt failed as usual.

Note that the coming full moon coincides this year with
Imbolc/Brigid’s/Candlemas/Groundhog Day . I plan to
try again beginning at the exact time of full moon, which
will be 6:39 p.m. NST (2209 UTC) February 1, 2026.

If that fails I will probably wait until the next new/dark moon,
which is Chinese New Year and a significant birthday in
my family, to try again. However that is also the day of
or the day before (depending on the sighting of the
waxing crescent) the start of Ramadan, and I don’t really
expect a correlation with an existing religious holiday.

I won’t announce the full moon attempt on all these
groups, just on alt.religion.druid , except by this post.
