Greetings Beloved Kin,
10 Storm / CAUAC
Tone 10 raises the Intention of 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.”
Manifestation is the step of creation that presents a Challenge. From Human’s limited perspective, the challenge is claiming the end of our Dream in the future. Our thoughts of duality present the challenges of our doubts and fears. Believing in the end always looks like a Leap of Faith toward the unknown. We want to See to Believe. It’s hard to imagine the end of our Highest Hopes and Aspirations.
Manifestation requires us to claim the end that’s here and now. Otherwise, the Today of our Dreams will always be a tomorrow. Up one day and down the next hardly feels like we’re making any ground.
CAUAC is the Day sign of the midwife that delivers us to the Light. We are offered the Peace we feel in the Storm in the shelter of a Sanctuary within. It’s our Human way to run for cover when there’s a Storm on the horizon. The ways we all move in Common is the Sign of our Divine Design.
Our darkest days draw us to our Last and Only Hope. Our “foxhole prayers” are answered as Peace beyond Human understanding. When we reach the end of our rope, there no other choice but to accept the way things are. The Light that breaks for us our Faith that a Power greater than our self will see us through.
The Lightning of CAUAC offers us a glimpse of the landscape of our Life. Most lightning happens within the thundercloud. The glyph illustrates the thoughts of Faith that reach beyond the veil of Human consciousness. Lightning breaks when positive particles at the top of the thundercloud feel the positive charges of our Faith reaching beyond the Earth, the same way our Hair stands on end as static electricity. Lightning breaks when it finds a path that is opened to our Heart.
CAUAC shares the Gift of “lightning in the blood,” the Maya call the Sixth Sense of the Heart. We were designed to reach in Faith. When we call upon a Power Greater than our Self, the Creator’s Sacred Exchange is the Promise of knowing we are not alone or forgotten. When we Know we are sheltered under the Creator’s wing, we can Remember there’s nothing to fear. Our Human limitations create the “impossible” that is the perfect Time and Place for us to “see a Miracle.”
We’re enough to weather the Storm when we remember the Truth of a Divine Creator who manifested the Truth within the Seed that’s intended to reach its highest meaning and purpose. The Creator’s Will SHALL be. All we have to do is Choose to believe in the Truth that is already here and now.
It’s our Ego that says things aren’t going Our Way. Clearly, Our Way isn’t working or we’d already be at the end. CAUAC delivers us to the Light of Knowing that the Creator’s Way IS working. Every challenge is only another lesson we are learning along the way so we can grasp a prize that will last forever.
Our solid ground for a Leap of Faith is to remember the Creator’s Promise of Unconditional Love. A Higher Power never tells us, “sorry, you’re not enough.” The Creator of Unconditional Love says, “let me show you how.” ALL the little lessons we learn along the way are building the strength for us to stand through any Storm. (The bigger the Dream, the greater our storms will be.) Drawn closer by our Attraction to Love, we CAN see that Love IS showing us the way.
We are in training to become a “Knight in Shining Armor.” Through each challenge we are ascending the ranks. In medieval days there was an established order of hierarchy. The order began as the Page. At around seven, a boy would be sent to live in the household of a lord with duties that included serving meals, carrying messages, and assisting in the maintenance of the lord’s estate.
They learned to read, write, play music, and engage in religious practices. Their physical training included hunting, horse riding, and basic weapon handling. It was during this stage that they began to imbibe the codes of chivalry, a set of moral and social codes that would define their conduct as knights.
The Page advanced to the role of the Squire. This marked a significant transition in the young man’s life, as the training became more strenuous and the duties more demanding.
Unlike pages, squires were attached to specific knights, serving as their shield bearers and assistants. They carried their knight’s shield, maintained their weapons, and even assisted them in donning their heavy armor. This close relationship allowed the squires to observe and learn directly from experienced knights, gaining invaluable insights into the realities of knighthood.
Their martial training became more advanced. They were taught to handle a variety of weapons, engage in mock battles, and participate in tournaments. It was during this stage that squires began to accompany their knights into real battles, offering them a firsthand taste of warfare.
The transformation from a squire to a knight marked the zenith in the journey through the knight ranks. As knights, these men were now responsible for upholding the codes of chivalry, serving their lord faithfully, and defending their realm valiantly. They were also entitled to wear a knight’s armor, carry a knight’s sword, and bear a coat of arms.
The chivalric code encompassed a spectrum of virtues, including loyalty, honor, courage, and courtesy. Knights were expected to demonstrate unwavering loyalty to their lord, to conduct themselves with honor, to display courage in the face of danger, and to treat others, particularly women, with respect and courtesy.
Despite their formidable skills, knights were not invincible. They faced numerous challenges on the battlefield, including fatigue, injuries, and the inherent unpredictability of warfare. They had to adapt quickly to changing circumstances, making split-second decisions that could determine the outcome of a battle. Knights had to be courageous, displaying unwavering resolve and fearlessness in the face of danger.
(Source: Ascending the Ranks: A Guide to Medieval Knight Hierarchy)
There was an order among the ranks of Knighthood. The “Knight in Shining Armor,” the highest rank, Ascended to become the King of his own realm.
We are ascending through the ranks of a Divine Army under the Direction of the Supreme Lord and King of the Creation. Through a Choice of Divine Trinity, we are learning the lessons to build our own strength to weather the storms of Life in the down-below. It’s a matter of Life and Death that we learn the lessons that will carry us through the tests of Time. A Divine Father is invested in our Life to show us the way. With the help of Divine Agency, we can and we Will. The Greater the Storm we conquer, the more powerful we will be.
CAUAC offers the Peace of knowing we will not fail. We’re already on our Road to Destiny. That’s the Truth that’s ours to claim that isn’t a Leap of Faith into thin air. There’s a Divine Plan and an Order and every experience in the Here and Now is part of the Journey to the end of our Dreams.
When we are grasped by the Heart of Sky, we know we are part of the Creator’s universe of Unconditional Love. CAUAC shares the Unbridled Freedom to be that we felt when we were first starting out on the journey of our own Life. Remember that feeling? When we still didn’t know a thing about the realities of life, yet somehow knew we could conquer the world.
This is a day to kneel in Faith to the Divine King that offered us a place in a Divine Kingdom. We are being guided through a divine order.
We can claim the Truth when we face a “challenge of yesterday” and we look to see how much we’ve already changed. Have you learned how to turn on a dime, in the face of your doubts and fears? Are there choices you would never make again, by what you’ve learned along the way? I remember choices in the past that took days of defending, just to say “No.” Today, I love the simplicity of “No,” knowing the Truth already speaks for itself. (Besides, nobody listens when you explain away your Right to Choose. I never had the Faith to do that before, not so long ago.) May we love the Pages who are still earning their stripes to know how to defend their own Divine Life, and still learning the Power of the Creator’s Unconditional Love. May we forgive our enemies with gratitude for every lesson we’ve learned.
May we count our blessings for all the lessons that are already saving the Life we dream of in the future. We have already advanced to knighthood, and given our own Divine set of armor to wear. May we claim the Truth of the Highest One who has our best interests at heart and the Truth we can not fail.
We are surrounded by a Divine Army. May we be greatful for the position we hold within the ranks behind a Savior who became King to pave our way. May we claim every lesson is a Good Thing and the evidence of the Lord who intends our mission to carry on forever.
CAUAC holds position 19. Number 19 is acknowledged as a symbol of God’s Signature. May we claim the Truth that’s Here and Now, and acknowledge the Creator left his mark all over it as a Sign for us to invest our Whole Heart in the Challege that’s part of our Ascension to the Divine Kingdom of Unconditional Love, As Above, So Below.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you – grateful to be among the ranks with you

PS – I was inspired this week by one who said he no longer claims his life has been blessed. Now he claims that he’s only stepping into the Life and the Creation that was intended to be. I remember times I turned to the Elders to share a Miracle in my life. They said to “normalize” the experience as simply the way things are intended to be. It sounds like the same message repeated again. Simply being alive is a Miracle of every day. We were ordered to be Here and Now for a Divine Meaning and Purpose.
THE JAGUAR’S EARTH MAGIC OF GRATITUDE:
I’m grateful that the One who never fails is always by my side.
James 1:2-18
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

THE TRECENA OF DOG/OC: A Creation of Unconditional Love
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 Storm/CAUAC (Cherokee: Redbird/TOTSU’HWA) – Day 10 of 13 of the 1 Dog/OC trecena
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.
Storm/Cauac: Day of the blessing of rain, giver of all life and lightening, a gift of nitrogen to Mother Earth and ozone to Father Sky. Cauac is also associated with the moon and the cycles of the moon, which are the meter of the feminine aspect of creation. The essence of Storm is the feeling of unity, security and warmth experienced in the home while the tempest of trouble rages in the world outside. Perpetually youthful, Storms exist to experience the ecstasy of freedom. They have the great capacity to both learn and teach. Their constant quest for novel experiences often leads to difficult tests and storms of emotion. Looking at these difficulties for the lessons they indeed are, will enrich our lives rather than destroy. Cauac individuals teach much through their electricity of being. Lightning energizes earth, this same energy energizes humans. Divine connections can be accessed.
A GOOD DAY TO: Count your lessons as blessings and your enemies as angels.
Cherokee, Redbird/TOTSU’HWA: Redbird’s symbol is Alcyone of the Pleiades Star in constellation Taurus. Alcyone is the Central Sun of the Universe, heart of heaven. Lightning is the visible evidence of the presence of Redbird Spirit in the Sky, daughter of the Sun Spirit, sign of Fire, Sun’s alter ego on Earth. Redbird is a feminine sign; the hand that rocks the cradle. The symbol of nurturing, the lightning nurtures and energizes, with energy for zest, curiosity, imagination, and ideas. Lightning adds spiritual force to the human by way of “lightning of the blood” of a healer, directly body to body vibration. The key to spiritual communication and access to the wisdom of the Ancestors lies in the ability to bestir the blood to speak. Sacred stones such as flint, obsidian, crystal are created by lightning striking the ground.

Alcyone, also designated as Eta Tauri, is a multiple star system located in the zodiacal constellation of Taurus, the celestial bull. It is the brightest star in the Pleiades open cluster, surrounded by many fainter stars.
The Pleiades cluster (Messier 45), is one of the nearest open clusters to Earth. The star lies at an approximate distance of 440 light years from Earth. Source: Star Facts

How to find the Pleiades? First, find Orion’s Belt and draw an imaginary line through its three stars towards Orion’s bow. The next bright star you’ll see in this direction is Aldebaran – the brightest star of the constellation Taurus and the eye of the celestial bull.
