Something I have always concluded was the the 'sons of Levi' were the ones that took certain days of the cycles of natures (the true holidays according to the cycles) and turned them into holidays that are remembered by blood. The best example is the passover idea....killing of babes. If we look at the cycles that were celebrated before the sons of Levi changed them...we have a holiday of harvest of wheat, barley and fruits. Also, the moon was involved in these, started with after the spring equinox the first new moon was 'observed' (not fixed)...and then the rest of the holidays fell into place from whenever that first new moon of the new year was observed. Today, our calendars are fixed (not truly observed) although there are places in Jerusalem (and mabey a few others) that still today wait for the spring equinox and the first true new moon to know what days will become important.
I have always felt that the holy holidays had great important...but the true meaning of them was changed with actions of what 'Yahweh' did.
These are just personal thoughts,
