2014 Cherokee Calendar

Oral tradition tells that the calendar is really 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 (no surprise, since Cherokee oral history says our ancestors migrated northwards from and through those areas) there are significant differences of interpretation and symbolism that give a uniquely Cherokee perspective. The 2014 Cherokee Calendar includes names of the Months and Days shown in Cherokee, 20-Day cycle, 13-Day Bird Wind cycle, 260-Day Cycle, Seasonal Cycle, Lunar Cycles, Great Serpent Days (Eclipses), Visitations of the Long-Bodies (Meteor Showers), plus historical dates and references.
