The Palmen-McKenna Calendar is a lunar calendar invented by Karl Palmen where each lunar year has 13 lunar months like in Terence McKenna's book The Invisible Landscape. Most lunar years have 384 days, which is achieved by alternating months of 30 and 29 days, but just over one in ten years have one day less (383 days) to keep the mean month accurate to the phases of the moon.

  • The Palmen-McKenna Calendar is a lunar calendar invented by Karl Palmen where each lunar year has 13 lunar months like in Terence McKenna's book The Invisible Landscape. Most lunar years have 384 days, which is achieved by alternating months of 30 and 29 days, but just over one in ten years have one day less (383 days) to keep the mean month accurate to the phases of the moon. Each date in the lunar calendar has a solar date assigned to it. The rules for assigning the solar date can be applied to any lunar calendar with lunar years of 13 months, not just the Palmen-McKenna Calendar. In the Palmen McKenna Calendar the Solar Dates determine whether a given lunar year has a day taken away from it.
