I like the variable-dependant Maring pig ritual cycle (even though Rappaport's hypothesis is bit shaky iirc) https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/26c2/09874ce4511314f5fc82e6757238b518ea97.pdf …

Do any of you make use of, or have cool examples of non-gregorian calendars, ritual cycles, temporal organisation? (Thinking about 'islands of time', asynchronous ritual orders)

Variable-dependant systems are concerned with occurrences, not the periodicity. I wonder how this impacts on the individuals living within that ritual ordering - whether they feel time differently as a result of the social ordering.

The Greek concepts of kairos (opportune time) vs chronos (chronological time) sound relevant! We actively refer to and use the distinction, in the group I'm part of. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kairos

"In archery, kairos denotes the moment in which an arrow may be fired with sufficient force to penetrate a target. In weaving, kairos denotes the moment in which the shuttle could be passed through threads on the loom." (From Wikipedia on kairos time)

I’m also a big fan of the pagan eightfold division of the solar year (two equinoxes, two solstices, four intervening middle days)

Tracking the moon is helpful as well
