Thanks for quoting “Numericana’s take on Calendars” on your sidebar. Unfortunately, the link has been broken since March 2010 and should be replaced by http://www.numericana.com/answer/calendar.htm
Feel free to delete this message once the correction has been made. Thanks.
fixed – thanks for pointing that out and providing the url
Do you know a book or site about the symbols of the dates of the mayan calendar explaining their meaning… or what they could mean… as i believe understanding the mayan calendar is important since symbols are guides for the destinies we cocreate… PS: What would be great would be a interactive animation of the calendar (One Mode static explaining the calendar), splitting like gears into the different parts… with symbols and meaning and why it is placed like… Since i think we learn faster that way… (One dynamic showing the dates) with modes for aligning different “religious” special days onto it and the meaning of the dates…
One mode to learn, one to apply…
PPS: Are you using the longcount in the calendar too?
There’s lots of books & sites about it – check wikipedia to start and go from there.
I tried to animate the calendar in Flash, and it just didn’t work out well at all. Maybe I’ll try again.
The calendar can easily have a long count, but I haven’t developed one explicitly.
Jose Arguelles wrote a forward to “I Ching and Transpersonal Psychology” by Marysol Sterling Gonzoles — a comprehensive and wonderful book.
You have an image at http://theabysmal.wordpress.com/theabysmal-calendar/5-the-case-for-calendar-reform/ (Gregorian CE) which I wonder if it could be modified, slightly, to represent seasonal rounds? That is, is there an original image that I can add colors to represent harvest seasons? The original is a very nice graphic indicating Gregorian months and sunlight seasons.
drop me a line at theabysmal DOT calendar AT gmail DOT com – I’m happy to share my images if they’re used for good – if they’re used for profit – no dice
