Description This almanac functions as a handbook for us moderns to enter an archaically new way of understanding time/space, the inter-cosmic time, operating in the Magoist Calendar. We are about to pass a threshold and walk into the (M)otherworld. The Magoist Calendar, the book of the Creatrix, summons the Reality of the Creatrix, WE/HERE/NOW, the ultimate destination of human intelligence/spirituality. The Mago Almanac awakens her user to the last reserved revolutionary call in our time, to dismantle the patriarchal calendar and return it to its sender, godfathers. Disassembling the engine of patriarchy, the Magoist Calendar leads its captives to the Mother Time wherein all beings are found kindred. Ultimately, the Mago Almanac is a roadmap to our reunion with the Mother Creator.
This booklet not only introduces the germs and seeds of the Magoist Calendar but also provides the reader with necessary calendric translations. In order to access the seemingly defunct the 28 day/13 month gynocentric calendar, we need to rely on the languages of such 12 months (read patriarchal) calendars as the Gregorian Calendar and the Sinocentric lunisolar calendar with which we moderns are familiar. Through this almanac, we will be versed in both calendars, the 12 months and the 13 months, and measure them in tandem to see which one is rhythmic, which one is nature-based, and which one lifts us up to stay connected with all other beings.
This booklet has three parts: Part I includes 5 charts of 13 month/28 day calendar basics, Part II includes the actual workbook of 13 months with Gregorian dates translations accompanied by Mary Daly quotes from Wickedary, and Part III includes author’s research on the Magoist Calendar based on the Budoji, primary text of Magoism.
Book A (Year 1 and Year 2) stands for the year of 2018 in the Gregorian Calendar (from December 17, 2017 till December 16, 2018) and the year of 2019 in the Gregorian Calendar (from December 17, 2018 till December 16, 2019).
Year 1 (5915 Mago Era) begins on December 17, 2017, the one intercalary day that comes on the day before the New Year’s Day. Its New Year’s day on December 18, 2017 marks the new moon day in the first month of the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
Year 2 (5916 Mago Era) will be the same as Year 1. It begins with the one intercalary day of December 17, 2018. Its New Year’s day is December 18, 2018. However, it won’t be the new moon day since the moon’s phases are not exactly the same as the moon’s motions for the coming years. For this reason and the Gregorian Calendar’s intermittent dates involved in Book B, Mago Almanac plans to publish its yearly booklet.
Volume 3 (equivalent to the Gregorian year 2020) is published to mark Year 3 (5917 Magoma Era). The reconstructed Magoist Calendar’s first lunation began on the new moon day before Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, which fell on December 18th, 2017. Put differently, we set the New Year Day of Year 1 or 5915 Magoma Era on Dec. 18, 2017. Year 2 or 5916 Magoma Era marked New Year on the same day, Dec. 18, 2018 but the moon phase was 72.4% visible (Waxing Gibbous) USA. Likewise, Year 3 marks New Year on Dec. 18, 2019 with the moon phase 59% visible (Last Quarter).
| Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | |
| New Year | 12/18/2017 | 12/18/2018 | 12/18/2019 |
| Moon Phase | New Moon | 72.4% visible Waxing Gibbous | 59% visibleLast Quarter |
I finally made an illustration that shows how the moon is viewed to us 2.3 days later than the actual lunation time in the space. This happens because the lunar phase that we see from the Earth is based on the tropical/solar time (about 29.5 days), whereas that of the 13 moon calendar is based on the sidereal time (about 27.3 days). We on the Earth need to wait 2.2 more days to see the same phase of the moon in the space (see the figure). In the 13 MonthCalendar that sets one lunation as 28 days, the moon phase will recur about 1.5 days later than the cycle of 28 days. To see how this is related with one’s menstrual cycle, please see the Lunar-Menstrual Chart free download at Mago Bookstore (see the page “Mago Almanac: 13 Month 28 Day Calendar Year 3”) https://www.magobooks.com/ or Mago Almanac 13 Month 28 Day Calendar, Planner for Personal Journey, Year 4 (forthcoming in 2020 by Mago Books). Volume 4 will herald the birth of its workbook, Mago Almanac 13 Month 28 Day Calendar, Planner for Personal Journey Year 4, which includes the weekly planner and other resources.
If you reside in the Southern Hemisphere, please use the Southern Version of Mago Almanac and its Planner. The Magoist Calendar is applied to anyone on the planet. Nonetheless, Mago Almanac and its Planner will have to be revised in the part of Gregorian dates for Southerners. In the Southern Hemisphere, the New Year day begins on the new moon of the Winter Solstice month whose Gregorian date falls on in June not December.

Volume 2 (equivalent to the Gregorian year 2019) is published to mark Year 2 (5916 Magoma Era) separately. It employs the term “5916 Magoma Era” for ME in place of “Mago Era” in that the former specifically refers to the beginning year of Danguk founded by Goma. Otherwise, it remains identical as Volume 1 with the exception of the book cover art by Deborah Milton, Ph.D. and ISBN numbers.

INTRODUCING MAGOIST CALENDAR: ORIGINAL BLESSING OF THE WOMB TIME
Endorsements by Trista Hendren, Harriet Ann Ellenberger and Glenys Livingstone
“If we are ever to reverse patriarchal thought, we must reach to the roots of our oppressors. Until reading Hwang’s Mago Almanac, I had never given much thought to the patriarchal calendar — even tough I have produced one for 5 years — aside from my growing annoyance of trying to incorporate the moon phases into a more “traditional” calendar. I have come to realize the idiocy of trying to incorporate liberation for women into a completely patriarchal idea. For this reason, I will stop producing my Girl God calendar, and direct others toward the Mago Calendar. As Audre Lorde wrote, “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.” We need that house dismantled, yesterday! Let our calendars and other intentions echo that thought. Our Calendars shape our days and our very lives. Let us begin the process of weeding out every single thing that blinds us to our power and path to liberation. Trista Hendren, author of The Girl God Series.”
“Have you ever felt out-of-sync with the universe and out-of-touch with your body? You’re not alone. For millennia, most humans have been squeezing our activities and squashing our bodies into time slots that work against us, not for us. With Mago Almanac, Helen Hye-Sook Hwang takes a giant step toward remedying that nearly universal human situation.” Harriet Ann Ellenberger, poet and co-founder of Sinister Wisdom.
“This work by Helen Hye-Sook Hwang is a unique and potent contribution to unfolding the profound significance of gynocentric calendar, that is, a calendar that is aligned to natural and cosmic and female cycles. The aligning of the small self and also the communal self to Larger Self, is to tune all these layers of being to a cosmic harmony; it is to place one’s self in real time and space. Helen Hye-Sook Hwang radically articulates the vain nature of patriarchal calendar, and its interlock with patriarchal thought and rule. Through interpretations of the Budoji, an ancient gynocentric text, she lays the foundation for real action to shift minds, and gives perspective on how Gregorian and patriarchal calendars erase the essentially maternal/female basis for the measure of time, simultaneously erasing Her from consciousness. To re-place ourselves in the Mother’s Time is to listen again to the deep truth of being, and enable transformation. This book sows a seed for awakening to that re-placement in everyday time.” Glenys Livingstone, Ph.D. Author of PaGaian Cosmology.

Reviews
“I have enthusiastically read the Mago Almanac. Wow! I learned so much. I thought I was cool for possessing a lunar calendar, not knowing it is a synodic calendar. Sidereal time makes so much more sense, being the time that astronomers, ancient and modern, rely upon. I was previously under the impression that lunar phases as viewed from earth was what drove the lunar calendar. Now I know that because the earth is in orbital motion it takes 2 extra days in a sidereal month for the same phase of the moon to catch up to how it was previously viewed from earth. Thank you for clearing all this up, and for this important work on restoring the 13 months of 28 days each makiing up the calendar year with one leap day!
