An End and a New Beginning
Ouroboros, emblematic serpent of ancient Egypt and Greece represented with its tail in its mouth, continually devouring itself and being reborn from itself. A gnostic and alchemical symbol, Ouroboros expresses the unity of all things, material and spiritual, which never disappear but perpetually change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation.
While the word Ouroboros has its origins in the Greek language, representations of the symbol itself have been documented as far back as the 13th and 14th centuries BCE in ancient Egypt. (Britannica)

September 1, 2023, 09/01/2023 – The 9th Month in the 9th uinal that completes a Creation.
Transformer/CIMI is the Sign of a Major Life Change. CIMI represents the end of a cycle of life and death, and a rebirth.
Greetings Beloved Kin,
The Serpent/CHICCHAN represents the Creator’s Offering of Life to our Spirit that raises our Consciousness to a Power Greater than our Self. Life is Divinely Ordered by the Seasons, always the same, and each one is different and new for the Dreams we held in the beginning. Fall is the Time of the Harvest for the Seeds of the Dreams we planted in the Spring, when all the conditions were right with plenty of Time to Grow.
The Summer Solstice heralds the Center of the growing season, just before the Lion’s Gate, the official “time to make hay” while the Sun is still shining in its zenith Season of Light. By the Fall Equinox the spoils are left in the field as we abandon our work in the garden. We’ve done what we can do to bring in the next Harvest. This was the Time ordered to choose the best Seeds for the Spring that lies in the future.

Mother Earth tells the Creator’s story of Universal Truth that is written for us to see on every scale. The Serpent is an ancient symbol of eternal life and the mysteries that unfold through our Highest Illumination of Consciousness. The Serpent is still widely used to identify Initiations of Academic wisdom that is intended to uphold the Highest Integrity for the Lives of the Whole.
The symbol is reflected by the rune symbol WYRD. Runes are not a language, but an alphabet – the Old Germanic alphabet. Each sign represented a sound. Runes were developed around the birth of Christ, probably in Scandinavia. By the year 500 they were being used by Germanic peoples from the Black Sea in the south to Norway and England in the north.

The Fall Equinox marks the harvest that is our “fate for now,” but not forever. We are reaping what we sowed in the Spring. On the scale of our path of Illumination, the lessons we learned from the Earth’s living and learning cycle are drawn to a close. The Truth of an experience is drawn to a close. There is always a bounty of Truth as the Seeds of Wisdom that we can plant the next time around. The Creator’s Unconditional Love is what carries us from one life to another with the potential wisdom to unravel a Divine Mystery of Time and its meaning for Our Life and for the Life of every generation that came before. Fall is the 3rd season that can lead to Life and Love that’s ever-lasting when we apply the Time to Live and Learn.
The Maya employ the same symbol that marks the Time of the Light that descends from Above on the Spring and Fall Equinox along the stairs of El Castillo, the calendar pyramid in Chichen Itza. The Serpent descends as the Divine Inspiration for the New Seed in the Spring, and the end that is guaranteed at the Harvest when our Dream holds an Intention of Divine Trinity.
The Divine Balance of Zero is the sum of the whole from both extremes of the scale, and a symbol of Divine Grace that is extended by the Creator’s Unconditional Love. We always get another chance to Live and Love again. The Elders say that it takes courage to grow to higher consciousness. We have to be willing to see the best and the worst of our Self to climb beyond the station we hold on any day. A Divine Creator offers endless chances and many signs for us to “look again” to see. Even the planets that turn retrograde are signs of revisiting experiences we’ve witnessed before.
When I was 10, after the death of my favorite Grandpa, Merrill, I remember praying for Jesus to appear at the foot of my bed. The thought must have been born from the loss and the question the Truth of a Divine Creator and the Word that promised another life. Our thoughts are inspired from Above. I remember feelings of both extremes. I felt some apprehension about what I would do if Jesus did appear.
Thoughts have been drawn to a simpler days, watching a youtube channel “Celebrating Appalachia.” The episodes share a simple life that still carries on in the remote regions of the Applachian Mountains in eastern to northeastern North America. The Appalachians reach from Canada as far south as Alabama in the USA. The people are “pigeon-holed” as the simple folk referred to as “hillbillies.” The host shares her own experience as well as history learned through her academic study at a local university. The truth is that they are Genius for holding on to the values and lifestyle that will always matter to the end of our Highest Hopes and Aspirations. They live a simple life of happiness, abundance, and survival.
They work hard but are the first-hand beneficiary of the fruits of their labor. They remind me that all the conveniences of the world can’t provide anything near the personal satisfaction of creating for the well-being of a family with bounty to share and trade within a community of others who do the same. (How much lasting satisfaction is there from the Time we waste beating the next higher level of a video game? The answer is simple to know by the way we feel, after a game is over.)
A world driven by our Ego has convinced us of what we have “the permission to believe” as our end-all creation in the down below. Some live for the privilege of buying a pair of red-bottomed shoes, and the Time to do nothing that doesn’t serve any purpose.
The “hillbillies” inspired me to cook some beans as I was drawn back to old memories of something my favorite Grandma, Naomi, would do. I’ve never been successful at the ends I remember, but learned from the video that it’s a matter of Patience and Time. Taking the time to sit down and snap the beans drew me to another simpler place and time and the joy of laying my hands to something Grandma would do. The Grandfathers and Grandmothers are with us still through our cellular memories of the past.

10 Transformer / CIMI
Transformer/CIMI is the Time to Remember Life in Memorial. Everything that “used to be” is the Wisdom that is offered for a New/Old Dream for tomorrow. CIMI is a symbol of Life from the perspective of a Before, and After. Through the Quickening of our Spirit, we are given the Feelings to Know that a Divine Promise is Truth, and all things that we Dream for the good of the whole are possible with a Hand from Above. Holding the Element of Air, it’s a day to give thanks for the Sacred Breath of Life.
CIMI is the Destiny Kin of the Midwife that brings comfort by never leaving our side during times of the major transitions of Life and Death. CIMI shares the way of the Holy Spirit.
Tone 10 holds the Intention of Manifestation, Human’s Challenge for Creation. The Future will be what we claim from a New Beginning from all the Truth we learned before. With the courage to look within, we can toss aside the ends as the things we’ll “never do again.” When we do, we can claim from the beginning that our life will never look the same again. By the Truth of Common Sense, we can only reach a Higher Ground of Life, Love, and Happiness through the Creator’s never ending Justice enforced by the Law of Cause and Effect.
Transformer/CIMI marks the end of a “life before” and is the Sign for a “new life, after.” This is a day to claim that “life is good” for all its ups and downs, for the Time that is ordered as our Future. CIMI shares the gift of Clairvoyance. It’s not so supernatural when we’ve taken the Truth to Heart, and make a Divine Choice for tomorrow.
Chaos is the Sign of a Transformation in progress. We’re guided to let go of old familiar ways, and the false truth that “things are what they are” – the reason we just “go along,” waiting for someone else to fix it – hoping for the “chances of fate” to save our own life. To change our life, we have to change our self. It’s always a challenge when we try to change an old habit. We are given the Power to Change through a Spiritual Experience that helped us Feel the Truth of a possibility.
The effort we must invest to change anything is a Choice that will always lead us to Time that matters when we reach the end. We were born to create the Hero’s story and to become the Savior for our own life. CIMI resides in the North, the direction of Wisdom – an Application of the Truth. White is the color that marks a “cycle of darkness” – Truth that’s learned by our own experience. White is the Color of our Bones and the legs to stand on a Promise of Love that offers a second chance for those who choose to wake up and live again. The fates aren’t so lucky for those that choose to sleep a little while longer.
We were give the Sacred Right to Choose the Time when we change our life, and Divine Permission to learn all the lessons of life, Our way. A Divine Creator will always be waiting for the Divine Time when we choose the way to our Highest Dreams for Life – when we’ve finally lost all hope in our worldly ways by the empty dreams that never reach an end that matters to our Heart – for all the effort we invested that didn’t accomplish anything worth remembering.
I’ll let you know how the beans turn out. The secret I learned is that you have to cook them low and slow. I like greens cooked the old way where they are nice and soft, practically boiled to death with a little bacon thrown in. I’m planning to make a meal of it with some yukan potatoes – and maybe a meat loaf out of the Kansas beef that I find at the local Farm Supply Store. I wish a bountiful harvest for you and the whole, and a feast drawn from the good ole days, passed down by someone you loved who loved in a Sacred Exchange of wisdom you will never forget.
This is a Divine Day to claim a challenge that you have overcome and Truth you can’t forget. September 1 in the USA marks the celebration of Labor Day Weekend, an official end to Summer before school starts again.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

PS. I’ll wait for Winter to cook Grandma Naomi’s favorite “hillbilly” recipe, Chicken and Noodles. It’s a plate of totally white food, poured over a mountain of mashed potatoes with butter seeping through it. Every generation and every branch of the family tree was taught to make it. Grandma gifted me with a noodle cutter to serve the purpose. It’s an old design that’s hard to use, but a family treasure.
THE JAGUAR’S MAGIC OF GRATITUDE:
I’m glad we only have to learn some lessons once, no matter how long it takes to see how we long we chose to carry on an old way that never led us to a higher end.
HAPPY SEPTEMBER, the Month of Endings and New Beginnings. Here’s some Astronomical Signs from the heavenly vault for the Time ahead. We don’t have to agree on Astrology to find equal ground from our Mutual Love of the Heart of Sky. (At least, no one has yet to deny our permission to look to see.)

TRECENA OF EARTH/CABAN: THE CLARION CALL TO LIVE WITH ALL OUR HEART
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide Page for the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” My gift for the Tzolk’in round offers an overview for each 13-day trecena and the aspects of each day of the Tzolk’in round. The page also offers a link to resources for your own practice of counting the days to conceive your own discernment of the Meaning of Time.
NEW SEASON – VOLUME 2: Tzolk’in Seasons 3 and 4 (PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 20, 2020)
NOTE: You can also look at dates from a different direction. What is the Destiny Kin number of your day sign’s 3rd tone? You may have overlooked a life-changing day. Use the Kin Calculator offered on the Daykeeper’s Resource Page for a date six years before or after. If you are just starting to count the days and don’t have a journal from the last round, when something major happens in your life you can look to see if there was a major event on that same date before. You can also look for Signs in the “distance of time” – the number of days between one day and another, from the Time and Date Calculator linked on the resources page. Example – 33 days is a symbol of a day that you actualize the Truth from the beginning date.
10 Transformer/CIMI, Cherokee Twins/TAKATO’KA – Day 10 of 13 Days that were created by the One Above. in the 1 Earth/CABAN trecena that calls to our Heart to Life within.
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 10: Manifestation. What were once intentions or ideas, hopes or fears become physically present with the energy of Ten. What is focused upon with attention and intention becomes real with Ten. Ten is a powerful energy that carries a great responsibility.
Transformer/CIMI: Cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Transformer persons achieve goals and emotional wealth. Transformer people can become highly respected business persons. They have the ability to help others through any and all transitions with tranquility due to their spiritual strength and guidance. Communities often benefit from Transformers discipline and organization skills. They strengthen the life of pregnant women and guide them through the transitions of maternity. Establishing contact with the ancestors activates innate psychic abilities, gifts to be used as tools to assist others. Transformers can have the ability to send evil intentions telepathically, this is their undoing. From these acts they lose power, easily fall into a victim role and begin to manipulate with a vengeance. A good day to tie all loose ends.
A GOOD DAY TO: Tie all loose ends.
Cherokee, Twins/ TAKATO’KA: Twins symbolize the Female Sun and Male Moon, whose union keeps the world going round. Cherokee myth has the Morning Star heralding the Sun, Venus, also being the Evening Star as representing the TWINS. The energy brings major changes all throughout life, riding the tsunamis of earthquake and upheaval, making their own waves wherever they go. They undergo powerful transformations, alternating like a flashing neon sign. The challenge is to master Balance while experiencing Chaos leading to re-birth and abundance through infinity.
