The Calendar Project
The Calendar Project was initiated in 1983.
The idea for the project was motivated by Dr. Jacob Carruthers in a series of lectures delivered at the Kemetic Institute in 1979. In 1983, the project was taken on by Dr Rkhty Amen, who began organizing the work with Baba Metu.
While in Chicago, she began working with Dr. Jacob Carruthers and others at North Eastern College. A group of them founded the Kemetic Institute, and later founded the Kemetic Temple of Chicago. Rkhty was initiated as a Priestess-Hmt Ntr of the temple. Among the many things that she did at the Kemetic Institute was teaching Mdu Ntr (Egyptian Hieroglyphs), and directing and teaching in the Institutes Adult and Children’s programs.

The Calendar Project
“The Calendar Project,” a chapter within the “African World History Project” that critically examines the Western-centric perspective on calendars and time-reckoning.
African societies developed sophisticated calendrical systems based on astronomical observations, which Western scholarship has largely overlooked or misrepresented.
Emphasizes is the importance of understanding these indigenous systems to correct historical inaccuracies and re-establish the significant contributions of African civilizations to the field of timekeeping, proposing that these systems offer valuable insights into history, agriculture, and astronomy.
This Kemetic calendar isn’t just “another planner”—it’s a cultural, spiritual, and practical cornerstone for any African or African-American household.
Here’s Why It’s Must Have For Any Home:
Reclaiming Time & Identity
You replace a colonial rhythm (Gregorian months, foreign seasons, imposed holidays) with your own ancestral sky-knowledge. Every Tekhi, Menkhet, ShefBdet, Khonsu entry becomes a daily affirmation of heritage—anchoring your family in the same cycles that guided Kemet for millennia.
Deepening Family & Community Bonds
When grandma in Lagos, aunties in Atlanta, and cousins in London all follow the same solar-lunar markers, you share rituals—new-moon meditations, decan feasts, solstice ceremonies—simultaneously. That synchronicity builds intergenerational stories and a living Pan-African rhythm in your home.
Astro-Agricultural & Seasonal Wisdom
No more forcing Northern-hemisphere planting dates onto equatorial climates, or celebrating “May” rains when your region is in drought. Baba Metu’s calendar aligns planting, harvesting, and rest-seasons to your local weather patterns—so families can plan gardens, festivals, and community markets in true harmony with the land.
Community & Cultural Unity
– By using the same calendar, Pan-African communities worldwide synchronize holidays, market days, and ceremonies—strengthening bonds across time zones and continents.
– It’s not just a calendar—it’s a shared cultural compass that says, “We move together.”
Spiritual & Psychological Alignment
Ground your goals and rituals in Maʽat (balance) built right into the month spreads. Each month invites you to set intentions, practice self-compassion, and tune into both Nut-deep intuition and Geb-focused action.
Supports healthier work/rest cycles—no more quarterly-driven burnout; instead, rituals for regeneration and celebration woven through the year.
