  • The Goddess Lunar Calendar is an arithmetic lunar calendar invented by Peter Meyer. The months are named after goddesses with names beginning with successive letters of the alphabet beginning with A. The original version of this calendar had a year of 25 months and mean month exactly equal to the mean month of the Yerm Lunar Calendar. One cycle (of 204 lunar years) was equal to six cycles of the Yerm Lunar Calendar. Peter Meyer was not happy with a mean lunar year not equal to a solar year, so in February 1998, he published a new version of the Goddess Lunar Calendar where each year has either 12 or 13 months and the mean year is very close to a tropical year in duration. However the new year does slowly wander back and forth through all the seasons over its 1689-year cycle. The intercalation is governed by the digit total of the year number in the 1689-year cycle.
