My Latest Fascination: the 13 Moon Calendar
Posted by Cobalt Witch on Apr 7, 2009
About a week ago I ran into the 13 Moon/28 Day calendar. They had an idea I found intriguing; a 13-month, 52 week calendar, 28 days in each month, regular and perpetual. A day out of time (which also occurs in the Celtic Tree Calendar) completes the year.
They also had a way of naming the days and months and years based (loosely, as it turns out) on the Mayan Tzolkin, a pattern of 20 seals and thirteen tones that created 260 “kin” that matched with the dates every 52 years. With no printer and very scattered information, I pieced together the signs and the tones, the colors and attributes, guides and essences; I went to many different sites to read the information, and read along the way about synchonizing to the rhythms of the universe and galactic kin and telepathy and space travel. I finally found where a kind soul had posted pictures and text from the “Dreamspell: Timeship 2013″ ‘game’ that is still sold online, and realized that this was so far out there I’d need an Infinite Improbability Drive or a TRADIS that took hitchhikers to find my way home. (Let’s just say the “cosmic timeship” metaphor got a little too thick. I may go back and read it later — we’ll see.)
But I got a couple of takeaways from it. The first is the idea of a better calendar, one that is predictable and stable; it turns out that the English were using such a calendar before the Romans forced theirs on the island — I’m hoping I can find more about it. The other is the introduction to the 260-kin system; it looks like an interesting system for exploring time. (I took a look at the Mayan system; it’s just not calling to me like the Dreamspell stuff. It might turn out not to match the real world at all; but until I watch it for a while, I won’t know.)
So if you’d like to look at what I was looking at, 13moon.com and lawoftime.org are the both run by the organization that put the calendar together. http://mayan.tzolkin.com/ will give you the day’s kin and the “daily spell.” I can put up Cheat Sheets if anyone is interested.
Some time before, I needed to buy a good house for my corporation but I didn’t have enough money and couldn’t order something. Thank heaven my brother adviced to take the credit loans from trustworthy creditors. Thus, I acted that and was happy with my short term loan.
