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:

  1. Create “Messianic Time” concept page synthesizing Benjamin
  2. Develop “Paksha Consciousness” concept linking Hindu lunar tradition
  3. Create theoretical overview of mondeszetteln (without personal practice details)
  4. 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
