ABOUT

i am weaver, an artist/ herbalist/ fungi-oriented person living on o'odham land, colonially known as the sonoran desert. where did you get your name weaver? it is a maternal family name. what i know of my ancestry is german, irish, and welsh descent.

i create these lunar trackers as tools for observing rhythms, in environment, in bodily health patterns, in planning farming/ harvesting/ fermenting. for daily art/poetry practices, and whatever else. the trackers arrange time by moon cycles rather than gregorian months, with desert ecology artwork aligned to each moon cycle. they are made on a new theme each year. detailed descriptions accompany the artwork. a lot of research and observation is put into making these trackers, and i hope people learn meaningful things from them.

while it may be more recognizable to call these “moon calendars” i don’t use that terminology because the word “calendar” has its root in debt collection and class-gap enforcement (explained more in the book). the purpose of these books is exactly the opposite: to move away from capitalism’s narrow and rigid way of describing movement of time and space.

i hope this is useful and inspiring for you.
