MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

6 Crocodile / IMIX

Greetings Kin,

Tone 6 facilitates the energy for dynamic developments as we reach the peak energies of this 13-day cycle. Our beginning steps, like climbing a pyramid, required much effort. As we near the crest of our climb, Tone 6 offers the Way to hit our stride like the energy of an athlete in motion.

Crocodile/IMIX takes us back to the beginning of all things where all things are possible. IMIX cares for us as our Primordial Mother who offers nourishment and nurtures us with the memory of how wondrously we were made. We are also reminded that our Dreams are among the Spiritual Gifts we are given. We were empowered to make them so. In fact, following our dreams is the way to tap into our true genius.

The only thing that prevents us from manifesting our dreams are the expectations we’ve placed on ourselves. We expect to start with all the answers. When we don’t have them, we can hesitate in our movement toward the unknown. Yet, our trials and errors are part of the process to understanding. CIB encourages forgiveness  so that we may be released from our own self-judgement. Trusting Spirit to lead us to our understanding, we can let go of our resistance to what is, and accept the pace of Divine Timing.

Crocodile embodies the instinct to be fiercely protective. Even in our failures, we may know that unseen forces are seeing to our security. We can let go of our fear of change – and the fear of our ability to change.  As we let go of our fear, we can become one with the flow of Divine Spirit and move forward without resistance to reach for our stride. Learning to walk is a process that required us to learn to “fall forward” with the faith that we will recover new balance with each new step.

To all my relations, may we draw the strength and courage to keep going. May we remember that ours is a journey to understanding and each step forward brings us from darkness into the Light.

in lak’ech, i am another you

THE TRECENA OF WISDOM/CIB

6 Crocodile/IMIX (Cherokee, Turtle/ DAK’SI   I’SB)

Galactic Tone 6: Flow. Six is responsiveness, and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.

Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force; simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages, so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.

Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI   I’SB: Turtle Island; direction East. The Turtle Constellation Orion, one of three stars in the Cosmic Egg. In Mayan is the Cosmic Hearth. Turtle is the Energy of Creative force at the one-on-one, personal level; dawn, awakening, birth. The beginning of each new era, this star in Orion appears with the rising Sun, heralding the creation of a new World cycle.  Cherokee, IMIX- Totem-Dragon. The energy to understand all things sacred; creation energy, connection for visions, to learn the mysteries of the Universal Knowledge. The dragon carries the source energy of life, revered in ancient cultures for power and wisdom.

NEW DAY KEEPERS: My sacred intention for the new Tzolk’in round is to offer more personal support to those who may want to learn more about ways to draw personal meaning from the calendar. I will be offering an Introductory Guided Course for Day Keepers in the near future. Contact me if this is something you would be interested in! Also, if you’d just like help identifying your Day Sign, I’m more than happy to help. Blessings, in lak’ech Debra (debra.malmos@gmail.com)
