The McKenna-Meyer Goddess Calendar
Most "Goddess Calendars" that you can find on the web are actually just the usual Gregorian Calendar with the twelve months renamed after goddesses, so they are not really new calendars — and they are solar calendars, not lunar calendars. This page defines an accurate 13-month lunar calendar in which the months actually do coincide with the lunar cycles. It is based on a proposal for a new calendar made by Terence McKenna in 1987 but has been given its final form only recently. Terence McKenna's Goddess Calendar In The Invisible Landscape Terence McKenna cited a scholar who suggested that the I Ching hexagrams were connected with some early calendar system (see the 1975 edition, Chapter 8, pages 113-114). He then proceeded to speculate that the neolithic Chinese used a lunar calendar in which a year of 384 days consisted of 13 lunar months (alternating in length between 29 days and 30 days).

It sounds good for the world; is it good for the U.S.?
