theAbysmal World Calendar
“The material of myth is the material of our life, the material of our body, and the material of our environment, and a living, vital mythology deals with these in terms that are appropriate to the nature of the knowledge of time.”
– Joseph Campbell
theAbysmal Calendar developed as a means of observing the passing of days, moons and years in a manner more suitable to our global community than the current international standard, the Gregorian Calendar. theAbysmal Calendar seeks to replace the Gregorian as our global calendar only, and doesn’t seek to replace it for those who wish to continue using it. Principally, theAbysmal Calendar serves as an elegant tool by which to facilitate conversion from one Calendar system to another.
theAbysmal Calendar has components of observational, rules-based, lunar and solar calendars. For the mostpart, numbers label the time periods (years, months, and so on), such that each community of Calendar users may name them as culturally appropriate.
