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)

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 haven't seen that distinction before, nice! Does sound relevant to the variable vs period dependant ordering that Rappaport talked about in Ritual and Religion.
