The Journal Before, for After…
A “long time ago.” There have been a lot of Major Life Changes since this journal in 2019. I was curious, so I went ALL the way back to the first round I started. 7 Deer/MANIK was 5 months into the first journey of 260 days (Posted, February 22, 2016). There are only two paragraphs, though I remember how every post from the first round took 4-5 hours just to order my thoughts. You hadn’t appeared yet to share my path. I was afraid to sign my name… so far off the beaten path. I was coming out of the woods from a very dark time, alone, abandoned, and lost in the Unknown Future. Flat tires were a matter of life and death. It’s good to remember how hard the road can be. We should never forget so we’ll remember for Every One. And, we can also remember it takes a Dark Night to reach for our Only Hope.
love, in lak’ech – grateful I found you, another me

Lord, Our EVERYTHING – Thank you for the changes you can make in the lives of the whole. I’m grateful we don’t have to walk alone, when we dedicate a path any-which-way to reach for you. I’m grateful Miracles are true.
AMEN. AMEN. AMEN.

THE TRECENA OF CROCODILE/IMIX: GERMINATION – THE DIVINE WAY FOR A BEGINNING
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

7 Deer / MANIK
Greetings Kin,
Peak Tone 7 completes our first climb of Spiritual Growth. At the top of the pyramid we’re given a 360 view to see “all that is” and “all that is not.” Tone 7 is the place of Balance, the application of the “great law” of Creation, “As Above, So Below.”
How we guide our thoughts Above, will determine a discernment of Truth Below. Our thoughts manifest what we see in the world. With Consciousness, we have the power to direct thoughts by our own Intentions.
Deer/MANIK reflects the Way of Discernment that will be our Human path of Divinity. MANIK is the sign of the Mayan priest. MANIK holds ALL the Spiritual Tools of Divine Discernment.
The glyph illustrates 2 Intentions of Movement that will always lead to our Divine Destiny. The circle represents the eye of the Deer. The Deer is a nahaul of Vigilant Consciousness. In a herd of Deer, one will always serve as the leader who keeps a vigilant watch. The rest keep an eye on the Deer. From peripheral vision, they will know when to move. The glyph illustrates a Hand, another name for MANIK. The forefinger and thumb grasp a thread of Ether that connects a Divine Circuit of Power. MANIK holds the power of Harmonic Resonance, connecting with an Unseen Force of electromagnetic energy, others are drawn into sympathy with the Vibration of Love.
Deer symbolizes the stability of 4 legs. It’s said that MANIK has one leg planted in each of the 4 directions to uphold the Pillars of our Dreams. Deer stand on Faith in its own Truth, without any need to defend its ground. Deer stands on a Higher Ground from within.
Deer resides in the West, the place of the Unknown Future. Holding the Element of Water that holds the Ether of Spirit, Deer/MANIK speaks through the language of the Heart, and the Feelings of CHICCHAN. The Power of our Own Spark of CHICCHAN can draw others into sympathy.
When we see the joy of the Bride who walks down the aisle, her CHICCHAN reaches our heart. The Power of her Joy and Love is the Spark exchanged that draws our Heart into the shared-experience.

We begin as the fawn to be raised to the stag. Kneeling in a Light from Above, we will see the Beauty in all our stages of Being. With Time and Truth, our legs will uphold the Pillars of a Divine Truth.
The Mayan priest is not a preacher. The Maya followed the Divine thoughts of their Ascended Ancestors, though they have no religious doctrine. The Mayan priest served as a demonstration of Faith, calling others through the Laws of Attraction. The duty of the Mayan priest is to carry on – to Count the Days and observe the Sacred Ceremonies and Light the Sacred Fires on behalf of the Whole. As others saw the Call for Divine Intervention, they were inclined to follow. The Service of the Mayan priest was about Remembering what we Know and Feel in our Heart.
To carry on the Way of the Mayan priest requires vigilant consciousness to stand in the Integrity of Truth. None of us can be a perfect example as long as we exist in Duality. More important than perfection is the Humility to Kneel before an altar, where we can see the Divinity of our Intention – and the Truth of our Hearts Longing to be pleasing to a Divine Creator. On our Knees our hearts are One with the Love that places no conditions on the success or failure of a Divine Intention to Love.
If we haven’t failed, we haven’t reached high enough. Our failure can be the proof to our Self, that we gave everything we had to give to a Divine End. At an altar we can remember that When Human Fails, a Divine Power is waiting to Intervene.
Of ALL MANIK’s tools, the most Divine is the Tool that holds a Provision for every human limitation. When none of our other Spiritual Tools appear to be working, we can rely on the Tool of ALL PROVISION. It only makes sense that the Creator would always leave One Way Open as a Light that would shine through every darkness. MANIK is said to hold the power to push away from negative thoughts. The One Divine Tool of Provision for every limitation, WILL push away ANY fear.
Tone 7 hold the Intention of a Divine Discernment through a Reflection between the Above and the Below. Given the perfect Balance of all things, everything our Consciousness learns from one thing can be applied to another. The top of the pyramids were built Above the canopy, seen as a threshold – human’s pinnacle view of all that is Below, that like a reflecting pool, illustrates a Mirror image of a Divine Truth Above.
At the top of the calendar pyramid, El Castillo, is the Holy Altar in the Temple to Kulkulkan, the Feathered Serpent of CHICHAN – the Descending Light. In the first inner room is Chac mool, the seated figure that holds an altar at the center of its being. Chac mool illustrates the Light that enters through our physical being at our solar plexus and rises to open our Conscious thoughts, our Divine Eye of Spirit. The second inner room is guarded by the Jaguar, the shape-shifter who can cross the dimensions of Spirit. The Jaguar’s magic is invisibility and gratitude. Gratitude is the Jaguar’s “earth magic.”
At the Highest Altar we are prepared for a Leap of Faith. Through a Reflection of Gratitude, our own Faith will be transformed into Believing. We will be made to stand on the Truth we Know from Above.
The IMIX trecena offered us a climb that would reflect our Way of Living in the world below, a Divine Human Way. The Intention that could lead us through our darkness is to be a an Invisible Light of Faith and Hope for the Whole. We don’t attempt to be Seen as the Leader. The effort is to be invisible to shine all the Light on the Path that is the Way to the Light. We wouldn’t have to be perfect. We would Know that the Demonstration of HUMAN TRUTH, means that we WILL Fail, and when we Do Fail, there is one place we can always go to Discern a Divine Meaning and Purpose. If we learn nothing else from failure than to turn back to the altar of Divine Light, we’ve learned everything we Need to Know.
The Mayan priest doesn’t define it’s Way as the way for others. It reminds others that the solution is at an altar, no matter how they get there. More important than the choice of a way to get there, is grasping the Truth of a Divine Communion with the Creator that will be there for every Divine Intention. ANY religion that upholds the Truth of a Divine Creator of Love, any way that is followed for the purpose of a personal relationship, is destined for the Blessing of Knowing the Truth of Divine Love. When we are kneeling in humility to Divinity, seeking relationship, a Divine Creator promises that we will always be Seen and Know the Light of a Divine Love. We were Created for the Meaning and Purpose of a Divine Relationship.
To all my relations, may we Know the Truth that a Divine Light has been waiting for us to complete our first climb to a New and Higher Consciousness of the Creator’s Love. A Divine Mother showed us how to walk to an altar where all Truth could be Seen through a Divine Light. Whenever we fail in the future, we’ll know where to go to realize a Promise of Divine Intervention – a Provision of Unconditional Love for every limitation.
Today may our Heart Know the Truth as an In-pouring of a Holy Blessing, a baptism of our Spirit. May we remember the Name we were given as the Scion, the Firstborn, the One and Only, each One of Humanity standing as the first in line to a Divine Inheritance of Love.
May we grasp the Light that will always lead us to happiness, and take a Leap of Faith. May we offer our Gratitude for a Divine Agency that will intervene to carry our Dream to the Higher Ground of Believing.
in lak’ech, i am another you

7 Deer/MANIK (Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi)
Galactic Tone 7: Reflective. Seven stands as a mirror to divide light and dark and to reflect all that is and is not. Seven is associated with the source of creation and the flow of Divine Will. With a keen sense of ethics, Seven establishes purpose to current and future goals.
Deer/MANIK (Hand): Deer are spirit tools. Silence itself is a spiritual experience for Deer. For Deer life is a pilgrimage. Deer are dominant persons who defend the people and will make sacrifices for others. The spirit of Deer upholds the pillars of the four directions. With the power inherent in the number four, Deer pushes away bad influences or negative energies. Skill and quality of work are very important to Deer. They are presented with tools for every task in life and it is with these that they are able to rise above limitations. Deer has a habit of keeping every tool it has ever used. This leads to clutter and indecision, loss and procrastination. When confronted with promises not kept, Deer becomes stubborn, manipulative and evasive.
Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi: Symbolized by Constellation Galagina, the Stag, known as Taurus, the Bull. It does not include the Pleiades and Hyades clusters which in Cherokee are viewed as separate. To feed, gatherers of food and supplies, they enjoy rituals, ceremonials, feasts, the souls of hospitality, sociability. Freedom versus security issues often inspire leadership and unique solutions. Combined with artistic and inspiring energies in harmony with lunar cycles, they nourish the clans. Totem-Deer: A priest or shaman, a powerful person in general, to overwhelm an individual with one’s personal power, divination; inclined to become a teacher, healer, guru, civic leader, or politician. Ability to create harmonic resonance.
