Temporal Weaving
Temporal Weaving tends the timework of Becoming Constellations. It follows the craft of stitching together:
- Mondeszetteln practice: lunar notebooks, paksha consciousness, and the micro-rituals that mark each phase.
- Place-based memory: Barcelona, Berlin, São Paulo, and other sites where journaling, organizing, and landscape studies converge.
- Messianic interruptions: tactical pauses, vigils, and dream logs that refuse homogeneous, empty time.

Mondeszetteln Practice
The lunar notebook practice integrates:
- Islamic calendar: Day begins at sunset, months follow moon sighting
- Hindu paksha: Shukla (bright) and Krishna (dark) fortnights
- Benjaminian monad: Each lunar day as crystallized moment
Note: Detailed mondeszetteln practice documentation remains private. Public content focuses on theoretical framework.
Praxis
Temporal interventions:
- Document lunar transition rituals (theoretical overview)
- Map place-based memory practices
- Record vigils and tactical pauses
- Develop public-facing temporal practice guide
Immediate Direction
Next steps:
- Create “Messianic Time” concept page synthesizing Benjamin
- Develop “Paksha Consciousness” concept linking Hindu lunar tradition
- Create theoretical overview of mondeszetteln (without personal practice details)
- Connect temporal weaving to Palestinian solidarity (hijri calendar, Ramadan praxis)
Thread connections:
- Links to Palestine thread via hijri calendar and Ramadan practice
- Links to Regenerative thread via ritual calendars and seasonal ceremonies
