the 13 Moon Calendar

The 13 moon cycle calendar is a pre-Christian lunar calendar that was reworked and reintroduced by Dr. Jose Arguelles, of Mayan calendar fame. It reflects the cycles of nature; the moon, the sun, the woman's monthly cycle. The Gregorian calendar is superimposed over nature, hence we get leap years and extra days. It's clunky. Plus - we count time from the birth of Christ? I'm not sure that applies to everyone here.

If you think about it, we live our lives by our calendar. It is a construct of time. It controls everything we do, controls our thoughts, which manifest our reality. Just think of how much power a calendar has over society, culture, people, Mama-earth.

Think, if we lived by a calendar that was in harmony with the greater cycles of nature and the cosmos, it follows that we would then slip into harmony with All That Is.

Why not try this calendar for a new era of peace on our lovely planet!

13 Moons of 28 days each + 1 day out of time = 365 days + 1 'day out of time'.

I also love the 'day out of time' as a yearly day of rest, family and peace talks. A true holy day.

From Arguelles:

July 25 is known as the Day out of Time, representing a day of transition between the old and the New Year.

It is also known as the Green Day, Day of Universal Forgiveness and Day of Purification. Since 1992, this day is annually celebrated as “Planetary Peace through Culture”, dedicated to ceremonies, artistic expressions and creativity. People get together all around the world to enjoy outdoor activities, listen to music and just share a special day.

As July 25 does not belong to any moon or week in the 13 Moon calendar, this day is an opportunity to truly experience timelessness and freedom. We are invited to reflect, meditate, practice forgiveness, and prepare ourselves for the new cycle to start.

Just as air is the atmosphere of the body, so time is the atmosphere of the mind; If the time in which we live consists of uneven months and days regulated by mechanized minutes and hours,that is what becomes of our mind: a mechanized irregularity.Since everything follows from mind, it is no wonder that the atmosphere in which we live daily becomes more polluted,and the greatest complaint is:‘I just don’t have enough time!’ —Dr. Jose Arguelles
