THE TRECENA OF FLINT/ETZNAB: THE CREATOR’S LIGHT OF TRUTH
October 28, 2022
Greetings Beloved Kin,
Wishing and hoping is the right place to start for the trecena of Flint/ETZNAB. The scales are balanced by a sacrifice of the heart. We’re at the “top of the pyramid” in the Tzolk’in round after the first day of Movement on 3 Sun/AHAU. White Day Signs are cycles of “darkness” that means an unknown experience. CHICCHEN awakened our Spirit and now we get to see how the Hand has guided us, through a real and tangible experience in the down below. Sun/AHAU always offers a Divine Revelation and we always step out in Divine Trinity on Tone 3.
It’s Time to put faith in action for the Answered Prayers we were guided to believe will be our Highest Hopes and Aspirations coming true. If you are feeling anything like me, I’m excited, without a real clue of what my highest dreams will be. Flint is the Sacred Knife – a Sword of Truth that goes to the Heart. We also have 11 Deer/MANIK guiding us through to March 31, 2023 – past the Spring Equinox. We’ll be tuned in, and the Mission is to dedicate our self to the practice of Vigilant Consciousness. We will want to, during a time that’s meant for grasping the Truth we always hoped could be.
Remember the Eagle’s way to mark an “X” on the spot and don’t be looking over your shoulder until Wisdom/CIB tells us to take another look at the treasures in our past that are creating our Divine Future. Don’t look around at all. We need the guidance with all we could see going on in the parameters of the world of illusions. We’ve grown up. Now we’re about to dissolve into the chrysalis of the butterfly to rebuild a new life and our self, exactly how we dream we can be. The core days of the Tzolk’in is the peak of our climb to a new enlightened way, guided by Divine Agency.
My favorite line from a Hallmark moving was, “Love is seeing someone’s worst and best and you can’t tell the difference.” That’s the Dog’s reflection of Unconditional Love. As long as we’re reaching to be more, our human limitations won’t matter. In the core days we’ll have a balanced perspective. Like the Monkey, it will be curious and interesting how either way we go, we know the Truth that Matters… the Hand that guides us is the Truth.

I’m reaching back to an old post that outlines the 13 days, and the entry from the 6th to the 7th uinal. We’ll see everything “that is” and we’ll want to know the Truth and nothing but the Truth for the way it sets us free. ETZNAB awakens our Spiritual Gifts of KNOWING we know, and reading between the lines. We won’t have to say anything when the Truth speaks for itself.
This time, we’re beginning the cycle on the Haab date 11 Sak’, making another 11:11 as a Divine wake-up call, and a Code of Activation. Sak/Sac’ means White, like the Kiche Sacred Road, Saq’ Be. “The hunters had their second festival of the year, this one to ask for the forgiveness of the gods for shedding the blood of animals.” Life on Earth is a sacrifice of one life for another. It’s time to honor life that was sacrificed so we can live. Earth’s time for Halloween and All Saints Day falls in sync with my pilgrimage to Ek’ Balam, that “happened” to land on his Mayan birthday, October 31, 2022. There should be lots of signs that our Divine Ancestors will be with us and we’ll know while the veil is thin. Call on the Wisdom from Above (North/White) and you will know it’s the Truth.
Something has changed. Can you feel it too? The core days can feel like a walk in the clouds, half here and half in the up-above. Time stands still and It’s time for a personal retreat with the One Above. Take good care of yourself, think twice and think again. Give yourself plenty of time and space for your own thoughts. Be here now! It’s Time for a Second Chance to reach the “X” that marks the spot.
Pay attention to your own Intuition, and follow the Truth you KNOW within.
much love, in lak’ech,
Debra

1 Flint/ETZNAB, Destiny Kin 118

1 Flint / ETZNAB
Greetings Kin,
The next 13 days…
Flint/ETZNAB beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth along the path of a lightning strike.
Flint/ETZNAB is also known as the Mirror. Like an obsidian Mirror, Flint offers the perfect reflection of Truth. Like the Sacred Flint Knife, ETZNAB’s cuts to the Heart of a matter to reveal the Truth that is hidden or covered up. Flint’s meaning and purpose is to sweep the slate clean of any illusions that stand in the way of our Happiness.
CYCLE OF DARKNESS
Flint/ETZNAB leads a journey of Darkness, Human’s journey for an application of Truth. Our Spirit was reborn by Serpent/CHICCHAN with a Gift of Knowing through the Sixth Sense of the Heart. Now is the Time for Human to claim the Truth through the Wisdom of a personal experience.
6TH & 7TH UINALS
The 6th uinal generates the Momentum of Divine Spirit. 3 Sun/AHAU will complete our Consciousness of an Unseen Force that empowers our Discernment of the Truth. The 7th uinal intends a Balanced Perspective of all that is and all that is not. ETZNAB will move us beyond Human Reasons and Emotions to see the Truth that IS, “As Above, So Below.”
HOLY DAY: SERPENTINE DAY
September 15, 2020, (NOV 4, 2022, this round) is 8 Serpent/CHICCHAN that will ignite the Force of Life, exalted in its zenith hour. Serpentine Day is a Celebration of Divine Consciousness and Knowing. The Serpent is a symbol of the Dragon, associated with the Illumination of Consciousness. 2020 was the year of 9 Earth/CABAN when we were sent to our room “to think about it.” This year, we’re dedicated to a mission.
The Flint/ETZNAB trecena will deliver the Light of Truth, the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth. The core days represent the zero point, the absence of polarity, the axus mundi of the Tree of Life. In the core days we dissolve like the Chrysalis of a Butterfly. Through a Balanced Perspective the Truth will reveal the Divine Meaning and Purpose of the Darkness and the Light.
PEAK DAYS: Peak Performance
Peak Days of the trecena mark significant times of Spiritual Growth and Transformation, and the Reciprocity between the Above and the Below.
- 6 Night/AKBAL – offers the momentum for a dynamic development, becoming the Dreamer that Believes in the Dream.
- 7 Seed/KAN – shares the Truth that Will Be, defined from the Beginning by Divine Design.
- 8 Serpent/CHICCHAN – ignites the Force of Knowing through its Gift of “lightning in the blood.”
- 9 Transformer/CIMI – completes a Transformation, sharing a Gift to see the Future.
Flint/ETZNAB is a time to take precautions for all Truth WILL be revealed. Like the Obsidian Mirror, Flint is a tool of Divination to see the Truth. ETZNAB holds the Gifts of Telepathy and Clairvoyance. If you try to bend the truth to someone born Flint, the REAL Truth will be written on their face. ETZNAB can “read between the lines.”

7th Uinal: Core Days
The core days are worthy of a Spiritual Retreat. It is a Time and Place for Dreaming the Future. Like the Chrysalis of a Butterfly, we dissolve into the primordial soup, the creative void of all possibility. We began as the Seed of a New Generation. Raised to maturity we created the Truth of our Own Experience. Now it’s our turn to create the Seed for the generation that will follow. From the void we will crystallize the Truth of our Experience so the ones that will follow can begin from Higher Ground.
The Core Days lie in the Center of “Before and After.” The “good” and the “bad” will give way to the Truth that will always be. The darkness is the place where Light is Born. The 7th uinal holds the Peak Energy of Balance – a place to see that the Divine Truth is always “fair.” Happiness is always a Choice given in Harmony and Equity with the Whole. We may not always get our way how we want it and when we want it, though our Joy is promised in the end. In the core days we’ll see that Time is not the greatest challenge, but the fear that our Dream will never come true.
ETZNAB can deliver the Truth in a way that makes a “point.” Flint’s Truth is unexpected and happens all-at-once, like a Flash. ETZNAB will deliver the Truth of an Illusion that Human couldn’t see so unknown Fears can be swept away.
Whatever the Truth may be, we’ll know we knew it all along. We won’t need any further evidence for what our Heart Knows is True. Flint will guide a Quantum Leap of Faith to believe in the Truth of our “I Am” – a Divine Spark of Knowing that’s held within.
Number 7 reflects the Great Law of Creation, “As Above, So Below.” We create our own Reality by the Truth we believe. The Flint trecena is an opportunity to Create a New Life based on the Truth of Love from the beginning to the end.
We begin on Tone 1 in Unity, in the state of Inertia. We’ll start rolling along by Tone 3. Hold your own Truth of Answered Prayers from the Beginning that a hand Above is sweeping the path clear to the end of a Dream. (We could have restless day. Our worries will go down with the setting Sun.)
To all my relations, may we give thanks for the Light of Truth that will clear a new path to our Divine Destiny. May we face the Unknown as a Place for Every Possibility of Love that we can imagine. May we remember to think once, twice and again to imagine what is possible by a Divine Provision of Love. May we claim the Truth that sets us Free to be everything we Divinely Choose to Be.
in lak’ech, I am another you
Debra, Jaguar Woman, 9 Eagle / MEN
21 DAYS OF GRATITUDE: I’m grateful for Love greater than every human limitation.
NOTE FOR 2022: The Guardian of this trecena is 13 Dog/OC. By November 9, 2022, we’ll be living a “dog’s life.” It’s a miracle we can dream that life can go on in this crazy world. It can, if we manifest the Truth in Spirit and Dream our way to the “X” that marks the spot. Plus – add another 11 for November. 11:11:11 is a Channel to the divine and we’ll be tuned in to the Frequency of Divine Trinity.
Do the work! YOUR way. The End from the Beginning is LOVE!

1 Flint/ETZNAB (Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA)
Galactic Tone 1: Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect One-persons to be attentive to details or to put the finishing touches on things.
Flint/ETZNAB: Mirror of reality. As a struck flint, these persons are the divine sparks of intelligence. Flint’s innate abilities are utilized to discriminate emotions from fact. Flint persons stand tireless to protect, defend, or cure others by personal sacrifice. By courageously wielding the sword of truth, falsehoods are cut away. Flints, it was said, can receive information on inter-personal troubles or evil plots of others by reflecting in an obsidian mirror. Their valiant service as warriors of the truth must be impeccable or they will experience sufferings of accidents, misunderstandings and gossip.
Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA: Opener of the Way, a creator, innovator, stretches the mind to outside limits of capabilities. Changes the static to the dynamic. Brings about change, often through separation and destruction. Beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash. Flint is the transformer that brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.
