8 Flint / ETZNAB
Greetings Beloved Kin,
By K’iche tradition, Tijax (tee jah sh). The glyph symbolizes the point of the knife seen from the front and the pyramid seen from the sky by the Nawales. Source: SacredRoad.org, Quiche Cholq’ij Calendar
In the North, Flint/ETZNAB represents the Sacred Flint Knife, or the Obsidian Mirror. Obsidian is forged in fire and flint strikes a spark. Both are forces of Nature to be brought into balance on ETZNAB. Flint represents the forces of static electricity that precedes the Storm (CAUAC). Flint’s “Stellar Ray of Truth” restores the balance of forces of Nature.
ETZNAB delivers the unexpected Truth, that was covered up, or hidden beyond the veil. Flint shares the Gift of Telepathy, when we see the Truth staring us in the face. We can’t imagine it if it’s not on our list of expected outcomes. Or, we just had other things on our mind.
We’re birthing the HUMAN Dream of the Next Generation of our Self. The 7th uinal is the limit to which we can comprehend the Divine Truth. Flint/ETZNAB is the Spark of Life to our Higher Consciousness.
THE HOLY DAY OF THE TRECENA
Peak Tones 8 and 9 represent the hours of the zenith when the Earth gets the most Light. Tone 8 is always a Holy Day as the symbol of Divine Justice. Number 8 in the Quiche language means “pure spirit.” In the North, 8 is a symbol of life to infinity, and blessings to abundance. Flint’s Unexpected Truth is exalted in its zenith position. What’s unexpected is, you already know. Our Common Dream in the Monkey/CHUEN trecena is the world of our dreams. The Monkey is the trickster. The “world of our Dreams” is the Creation we are manifesting in Spirit.

The Truth stands on every scale of discernment. Flint/ETZNAB represents a force of Spirit and Earth. ETZNAB symbolizes static electricity through the Element of Air. ETZNAB’s Truth often lies at an extreme end of the scale of Human emotions. Today, the Truth can hit us in the face, literally, when we look into the Obsidian Mirror.
Flint Days set our hair on end, when we know what we know. The Truth speaks for itself, even when it’s “bad news,” when you feel the sense of Peace from unraveling a mystery. Flint’s Truth is personal. In the core days it’s equally good and bad. It’s up to us to choose to see the Truth to know the blessing.
What are the 5 forces of nature?
Fundamental Forces:
- Gravitational force.
- Electromagnetic force.
- Strong nuclear force.
- Weak nuclear force.
The weak and strong forces are effective only over a very short range and dominate only at the level of subatomic particles.
(Google: Searches on physics fundamental forces of nature)
The good news from a scientific perspective is that the strong and weak nuclear forces don’t last for long. It’s easier to make the climb when you know you will see everything in a new light tomorrow. The Element of Air represents thoughts and the faculties of the mind. One Truth can change our mind forever. Flint is the Truth that, once you’ve seen it, you can’t “unsee” it ever again. The way it comes to you, has the Creator’s fingerprints all over it.
You might be so glad to KNOW that you don’t care, good news or bad news, is all the same.
Tijax is good with the positive and drastic with the negative. Tijax brings the power to cut mysteries and to open the gates to another dimension. It also symbolizes pain and sadness. It is the arrow that brings danger and on this day purifies the balance that we have done be it positive or negative, making us pay or teaching us on the physical, mental and/or spiritual plane. It is the energy that has the force that liberates the rational, likes to provoke controversies. In the representation of the Telluric force on the earth (earthquakes and tremors), it indicates to us an energy of change or collapse. It gives us a good shaking to understand our true path.

By the end of the day, we know where we stand on our own Truth. There’s potential for polarities, a “strong nuclear force” that won’t last long, but will make an impression. ETZNAB can compel us to speak the Truth we can’t take back.
If it’s Good, it’s GOOD. If it’s bad, it’s awful. LOL Either way, it all balances out for what you’ll never forget.
Flint is an important time to carve out some personal time for your own thoughts. If you have to be around “others” remember the Truth speaks for itself. On Flint days the Truth will be written on your face on both sides of the mirror.
On the Highest Scale we can take in the Truth of all the Forces in the Universe that a Divine Creator holds in its hands. Believe in Miracles, not because they are magic, but based on the Truth of all the Divine Forces we hardly know. We never know how one Truth could upset our space-time continuum. 🙂
Flint holds position 18, (3 x 3) +(3 x 3), the symbol of Divine Trinity, As Above, So Below. If we’re humbled, the Truth will be a Divine Clearing of our Karma. Wisdom is learning a lesson. Peak Tone 8 begins the Transformation phase of the trecena. From here to the end, Divine Agency will intervene with an equivalent effort, but welding a force of exponential power. There’s Peace in Truth to restore our equilibrium.
in lak’ech, i am another you

We are ALL the heroes of our own journey. Don’t count on anyone else for the Truth you already “know by feeling” within. Your perspective of the Truth is the Light you were intended to share with the whole.
8 Flint/ETZNAB (Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA) – Day 8 of 13, the 1 Monkey/CHUEN journey the Dawn of a New Creation
CORE DAYS: The 7th Uinal in the Center of the Tzolk’in is compared to our own axis mundi, the center of our own universe where we are always perfectly positioned at the center of the 4 directions. The axis is the “line around which any body rotates.” Like a spinning gyroscope, we find our balance in a relationship shared between the Above and the Below. Holding a focus within the center of our Self, we reside in the place of perfect balance.
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 8: Justice. Harmony and balance are the intent of Eights carefully weighs all evidence to reach a balance of justice. Eight is the power of organization demonstrated in the statement ‘as above, so below,’ from simplicity to infinity, the energy of eight organizes all levels of creation, some eights are ‘neat freaks.’
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.
A GOOD DAY TO: Spend time in reflection and introspection.
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. The transformer brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.
