Dikenga clock and calendar

DAY · FOUR STAGES OF THE SUN

WEEK · FOUR MARKET DAYS

MONTH · FROM THE NEW MOON

YEAR · FOUR SEASONS ON THE DIKENGA (in Fu-Kiau's order)

Four stages, four hours, four-day week and four seasons follow Fu-Kiau (1994, Ntangu-Tandu-Kolo). The month starts at the true new moon and holds seven four-day weeks, then Kumina, and Lumbu when the lunation runs 30 days. The dial turns anticlockwise with the sun. Seasons are matched to stages in the order Fu-Kiau numbers them (1994, p. 27-28): rain, cold, fall, summer. The stage is set by the sun's solstices and equinoxes, so it will not always match local weather. Sun times use the NOAA formulas, equinoxes and solstices use Meeus.

Fu-Kiau's two figures, redrawn

Figure 2.1, cosmological time, as laid out in Fu-Kiau (1994, p. 23). M, K, T and L are Musoni, Kala, Tukula and Luvemba. UW is the Upper World, the physical world. LW is the Lower World, the spiritual world and abode of the ancestors. k is Kalunga, "the balancing plan-line of all energies". Redrawn here; the arrows on the printed circle are not reproduced.

Figure 2.3, Kongo hourly time segmentation, as laid out in Fu-Kiau (1994, p. 29). I to IV are the principal hours (lo biangudi); 1 to 4 are the in-between or small hours (lo binadwèlo). Redrawn here from the printed figure's labels.

Source: K. K. Bunseki Fu-Kiau, "Ntangu-Tandu-Kolo: The Bantu-Kongo Concept of Time," in Time in the Black Experience (1994), figures 2.1 and 2.3. The drawings above are this page's own redrawings of those layouts, not copies of the book's pages. The season-to-stage pairing used in the clock above is this app's own reading of the order Fu-Kiau lists the seasons; the chapter says each season "corresponds to a specific stage on the cosmogram" without naming which.

COMPLETED CYCLES

SESSIONS LOGGED BY MOON PHASE

Phase times use Jean Meeus's published algorithm, checked against 2024 new, quarter and full moon times to within about a minute. Real lunations vary between about 29.27 and 29.84 days, so the module uses true phase times, not a fixed 29.5-day count. Illumination between phases is interpolated and can be off by a few percent. Time-scale corrections are approximate outside 2005–2050. Phase times are the same worldwide, but how the moon looks depends on where you are.

I. Kikongo (0 to 11): The Science of the Zero-Point & The Dikenga Cycle

Spoken from the center crossroads (Didi) by Ngo, the Royal Panther: how Kongo mathematics moves from 0 (Mpungu / Lumbu) through the four turning suns of the Dikenga (Musoni, Kala, Tukula, Luvemba), the spiral law of five to nine, and the sovereign threshold of 11 (Kumina Mosi).

II. Nana and Nani: The Two Edges of One Office (Mother Scott Gully to Lubolo Country)

From the Kikongo verb nána (“to draw out”) and its agent noun nnáni / nani (“she who does the nana”): uniting the Nana at her High Office in Mother Scott Gully, Mbanza Mbongo (Bongo Town, St. Mary) operating island-wide (Donald W. Hogg 1964, pp. 205–206, 447) with Nani (Nnáni) and the crowned Mbanda / Mubanda across sovereign Lubolo Country from St. Mary to Moore Town (Hogg 1960, Fig. 1).

This is a contemplative breathing and visualization practice. It is not medical care or mental health treatment, and the clinical references are part of the practice's own framework, not verified guidance. If recalling hard experiences feels distressing, stop, breathe normally, and reach out to a clinician or a crisis line.
