Listen "The Ancient Somali Calendar"
Episode Synopsis
In Somali culture, time is not just hours on a clock — it is life, spirit, and ancestral memory. This episode explores the ancient Somali calendar (dayax-tiriska and amin-tiriska), where moon phases, seasonal rains, and star patterns guided pastoral migrations, harvests, and spiritual life. From the bonfires of Dabshiid to the wisdom of weather lore experts, from cycles of 8 and 50 years to the blessings of baraaka, discover how Somalis wove astronomy, poetry, and Sufi traditions into a living cosmology of time — one that still carries lessons for today.
