Cherokee Calendar (Nvdodisesdi Ditsalagi) 2013: Dawn of the Sixth World

Surprise! We're Still Here! 2012 hysteria aside, oral tradition tells that the calendar is really a construction of 22 different cycles, which are overlaid to form a complete picture of the influences on any given day, such as a birth date. While these overlapping calendars clearly derive from the same sources as the Olmec, Mayan and Aztec calendars there are significant differences of interpretation and symbolism that give a unique perspective. The 2013 Cherokee Calendar includes Names of the Months and Days shown in Cherokee, the 20-Day cycle, 13-Day Bird Wind cycle explained, 260-Day Ceremonial Cycle, Seasonal Cycle, Lunar, Venus, Pleiades Cycles, Fire Ceremony Days, Great Serpent Days (Eclipses), Visitations of the Long-Bodies (Meteor Showers), Historical dates and references. We include a brief overview of the concept of time, and a section on the Cherokee concept of "The Other Ones" and the predicted reunification of the 12 Clans, and the subsequent emergence of the Great Cherokee People as a world power.
