THE TRECENA OF TRANSFORMER/CIMI: BEFORE AND AFTER
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
12 Earth/CABAN, Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI, Destiny Kin 77

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Tone 12 raises the Intention of Understanding. Number 12 is a symbol of Human, marked by the Gift of Consciousness and the Sacred Right of Choice. When Human comprehends the Truth of the Creator’s Power, Authority and Intention for every end, and we are Resolved to follow, we comprehend the Grace of  our  own  Redemption. Faith in Action is the Answer to our Prayers. Living by the Truth our life becomes a sacred ceremony, a Dance united by Mother Earth’s orbit around the Highest One.

Earth/CABAN symbolizes Mother Earth as the Source of everything that Human has learned about Life. She is the Beauty and the Inspiration for every Human creation. She is the Mother in the background of every family photo. She is the symbol of Life and the Movement that Creates a Divine Meaning for Time.

The Earth is perpetually moved by the Light. CABAN represents Earth’s way to Know we are becoming everything we were intended to be. Life is turned around by One Divine Choice that’s ours alone to make. No one can choose for us. The Choice is our own Answer to inner calling from our Heart.

 

The glyph illustrates the faculties of Divine Discernment. The straight line that begins in the East is Human’s first thought of linear reason. Our Objective Consciousness makes the first discernment of “what it is.” Our second thought is “what it means.” The straight line automatically turns at the end to the symbol of our Imagination. When we discern “what it is” doesn’t mean a thing, our thoughts trail off before we come full-circle. It takes a Leap of Faith to believe there’s a Divine Meaning for Everything. Those thoughts are represented by the rising circles that ascend to the Heart of Sky.

Love is the Beauty of the Truth in everything we Look to See. Everything we know we learn through Mother Earth. She is a creation of Beauty that knows no end from the micro to the macro, and in all the ways and all the days she turns our life around. Movement is the Sign of Life on every scale. ALL things are moving on Mother Earth. All things are changing with every Breath of each turn. It takes Time to see the Truth, especially when a “living thing” is fixed in its ways. We can see that even the continents are changed by Time, along with all the stars above.

Ollin is the Aztec symbol of CABAN. Day Ollin (Movement, known as Caban in Maya) is governed by Xolotl as its provider of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. This is an auspicious day for the active principle, a bad day for the passive principle. Ollin is a day of the purified heart, signifying those moments where human beings may perceive what they are becoming. A good day for transmutation, which arrives like an earthquake that leaves in its wake the ruins of rationality, order and the preconceived. Aztec Calendar

The face at the center is K’inich Ahau, the symbol of the brightest light of the Sun, who intends to have the first and last word. On either side are the claws of the Divine Mother that will tear away at the dead flesh of anything that threatens the Life that was intended to be. The Ollin symbol points to 20 Divine Times of Knowing. This day is marked by the Creator as Time to see the meaning and purpose for every life.

We’re only kidding our self to think we can continue to be a “living part” of Mother Earth without changing. We can’t make Time stand still any more than we can prevent one Season from changing to the next Divine Purpose for Life. Through the expressions of Earth’s movement, we’re called to follow her order of Time that we CAN see holds a own Meaning and Purpose for life to go on in a Good Way. If it were always Spring, we’d never know the Beauty of the first buds on the Tree that mean that the flowers will follow that bear the fruit during the Season of Light. If it weren’t for Winter, we’d see no meaning in “making hay while the Sun shines.”

Earth/CABAN is the Clarion Call for every Great Migration on Earth.  The Tzolk’in is synchronized to the Earth’s Time by the Haab 365-day vague year. Humans were not intended to know the exact Time. The Time of our Life is ordered by the Highest Authority. If we knew exactly when our life would end, we’d resist changing until the very end. We are all changed when we see the Truth that our life is ending. When we live our whole life “for the world” we have nothing to show for it in the end. The only thing we can carry to the otherside is our Spirit that witnessed everything we did from the beginning to the end. Imagine the darkness we would have to bear if we never “made hay while the Sun shined” to create the Beauty of Love.

A Divine Creator spoke the Truth at the beginning that Shall Be. The Divine Creator holds the power that moves the Earth beneath our feet.  The mountain that refuses to be moved becomes the dust that’s left behind. For all the dust we’ve left behind, Earth/CABAN is the Clarion Call to Live with all our Heart. That’s the way we were intended to live our whole life.

The Cherokee Day sign is the Heron that lives a life of perpetual migration. The Heron is a symbol of the Phoenix that rises from the ashes of its past.

The Wildebeests are moved by a scent of water in the Air that raises a thought of Greener Pastures where Blessings are multiplied to Abundance for a new life they carry within. The Herons dream of a place of Harvest where fields are full of grain. Humans have surely caught the scent of the trail we’re on and where it is bound to lead us, and it isn’t Harmony, Equity, and Right Relationship. We’re headed straight to an end where life hardly matters anymore.

The Heart of Sky and the Heart of Earth have no intention of allowing life to end that way. The Highest One has a say, and shared the promise. CABAN can speak through the Passion of the Mother’s Heart and by the Authority of the One Who Holds the Highest Hand in the game of Life. May we follow the Divine Order when we Feel the Call to Move Now, and Move with ALL our Heart.

A Divine Father is a “jealous God” when we love the ways of the world more than we love the Golden Rule. Everything will be okay for those who follow. For those who don’t see any meaning and purpose, a Divine Father and a Divine Mother hold the power to share a lesson we won’t forget.

Today is the Full Strawberry Moon, Time ordered for Life to be Sweet. By the Haab calendar it’s Time for the festival of Honey, a Gift from the Bees that make their home in the canopy Above. The beekeepers are celebrated for the Offering that is shared with the whole. Honey is spread around the edges of every plate. Strawberries are among the first fruits of the harvest and honey makes them extra sweet. May we celebrate the way life changes and how the Beauty all around flows by a Divine Order of Truth shared from Above.

Understanding is a Divine Gift of Seeing what we’ve already witnessed as the Truth, coming full-circle to the “ah-ha” moment. That’s when the Truth speaks to our Heart. We always look back and wonder why we couldn’t see it before. There’s a Time to See and a Time to Move on the Truth with all our Heart.

“This is an auspicious day for the active principle, a bad day for the passive principle.”

The choice “is on human’s head.” We can eat strawberries while they’re in season. We can smell the roses. Or, we can bear another Winter in the darkness and the cold, praying for another Spring. If we choose to live now, we’ll have stories of Summer to share by the Fire, and plans to make for another Spring that follows.

love, in lak’ech,

Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN

HOLDING THE WAY OF THE JAGUAR: The Power of Gratitude
I’m grateful for the Signs Above and Below that were given for us to Look and See the Truth of Love we knew all along.

12 Earth/CABAN (Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI)  – Day 12 of 13 of the Transformer/CIMI trecena promises peace beyond human understanding.

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold, 12 Sun/AHAU, from MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 12: Understanding. This number’s energy is a gift of great capability, of retrospection. It is this ability that allows Twelve to connect disassociated parts into a (new) functioning whole. The energy of Twelve is that which presents a new piece of understood information or accumulated experience to be applied.

Earth/Caban: Earth/Caban: Keeper of the garden of Earth. Profound synchronistic connections to Earth’s natural cycles and energies provide power of creations and memories of ancient wisdom. Earth persons help dispel bad intentions, habits and ideas. This makes them very good counselors and masters of all arts. Studious and intelligent, Earth persons endeavor to bring a flow of natural order to all aspects of life. Being connected to the dynamic forces of nature, Earth persons need much liberty to facilitate their expression of migration or the sending of long distance communications such as the whales, elephants, birds and many other creatures. Sometimes Earth’s delicate sensitivities are upset resulting in quakes of emotion even the display of volcanic temper.

A GOOD DAY TO: Thank Mother Earth for all her gifts.

Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI: Sign of movement, of perpetual motion, recycling, regeneration; environmentalists fighting for the underdog. Heron is mentally alert, rational, yet opinionated; has a great faith in people and in the divine plan, holding the magic of ministry, medicine, marketing and matchmaking; healing abilities, especially with crystals; negotiation and mediation energy. Heron is symbolized by Deneb, located in the Northern Cross beside the Milky Way. “The Northern Cross is the Tree of Life, Beside the Milky Way River & Perched atop is Guwi’ sguwi, the Cherokee Heron Spirit Bird, comparable to the Egyptian Phoenix. One Myth has it that a Beautiful Young Maiden (the Heron Spirit Bird) fell from the Tree of Life in the Sky Vault, & Found no Place to Land on the Primordial Sea. Turtle came to the Surface of the Water & gave her a Place to Land. She nested & Laid her Cosmic Egg, From which came all Life on Earth.” (Cherokee Astrology: Animal, Medicine in the Stars, Raven Hall)
