13 Deer / MANIK
Greetings Beloved Kin,
As Beings of Duality, to discern the Truth we have to see it from two different perspectives. In the down-below, the Gravity that holds us down is the matter of only looking to another Human perspective to answer a very Divine Question about our Self. Do we matter? Is there a Divine Meaning and Purpose for Our Life?
Our Ascension is the Revelation that only the Creator will ever know the whole “love story” that was manifested under a veil of Mystery at the Center of our Heart. ALL things were created to be Seen and Acknowledged, close up and far away. The Eagle’s trecena offered the Incoming Light to see a glimpse of the Future that by its Meaning and Purpose shines a Divine Truth.
Deer/MANIK is a symbol of Stability with 4 legs, one to plant firmly in each direction. The circle on the glyph is the Vigilant Eye of the Deer. Standing still in perfect silence, the Deer can see Movement all around in its peripheral vision. Vigilance is the strength to Leap to Higher Ground long before trouble finds our door.
MANIK reflects the Deer’s power of Harmonic Resonance. Through the Element of Water, Blessings flow through the Heart. Water is used by the priest for blessings, initiations, purifications and baptism of the Spirit. Our Offering is the best “sum of the change” we were capable to bring, admitting our Human limitations. The Deer’s Harmonic Resonance is the Offering of Divine Trinity.

The Mayan priest is a “living sermon” of Love, holding a Destiny to Count the Days and carry out the ordered rituals and ceremonies as indicated by the Calendars. When you know someone is praying for you, you’re inclined to listen and follow in agreement. “Wherever two or more are gathered,” there is an opportunity to manifest the Power of Divine Trinity.
Tone 13 represents a Day of Initiation and a Celebration of Answered Prayers. We were given the Highest Meaning and Purpose to bring our Light and Understanding to the world. “Our Light” is the Creator’s Light. We realize a Divine Purpose in Silence, surrendering a Human Hand to the Creator’s Mystery. We See our Self from two Brighter Angles at our Ascension. Our Ego works diligently at defining our failures. Kneeling in Humility, Seeing and Acknowledging the Highest One Above, the Sacred Exchange is Atonement.
The Divine Creator didn’t keep a record of all our wrongs. We are our own first hand witness to “sin,” (ie. choices we made, conscious of the harm to another). The whole truth is written within. Staring off into the darkness, the Light we manifested was lost in the background. The Beauty of the Creator is a Divine Witness that records every moment, cheering us on from the sidelines and taking note of our best moves.
A Divine Creator can pull all our stray thoughts together for the Highest Perspective of Accomplishment. The only challenge is claiming we’ll never be perfect. Wisdom is not “knowing it all.” Divine Wisdom is Knowing the Highest Source for the Answers.
Energies are building toward the Highest Tides of Spirit. A Divine Truth comes crashing through that Resolves a Mystery in our Whole Mind. The Truth of a Divine Transformation is evidence enough for our Human Nature and our Divine Nature to operate as One.
Ascension elevates our Spiritual Senses, like static energy stands our hair on end. It’s not wise to set out to sea as a crashing wave is coming into shore. It’s Time to allow the Spirit to sweep us off our feet and get carried away to Holy Ground. Allow the Time for the Grand Finale of Truth, before you rush on without stopping to imagine everything it means now, and in the future when the Truth is multiplied by Time.
On Ascension day we’re surrounded by the Heavenly Hosts, and celebrated by the Divine Ancestors who extended the Hand of Human Wisdom, beyond the veil of the Mystery, from the “other side.”
We are Seen and Acknowledged one by one. We’re offered an opportunity to give credit where it’s due. We’re seen in our Highest Light Above, when our Intentions and our Journey remains Invisible, by our own Choice.
MANIK is also known as Hand. The glyph illustrates the forefinger and thumb grasping a thread of plasma that completes a circuit of Higher Power. Arms reaching and minds eager to learn weld a bond of Divine Relationship.
Our Ascension is an end of the suffering we knew before – before “the work” was finished. Truth resolves Human’s question, “Why?” The Truth is never what we expected it could be. We are attracted to Truth and Light. We recognize Light and Truth. The moment we comprehend the Truth, we Remember we knew it all along. Truth makes Common Sense.
The Question should be, WHY do we resist the Truth that sets us free? There’s nothing to fear, making our final confession to a Divine Witness to the experience. The Truth can’t be changed. Deer/MANIK leads us into the Light of an altar, where the Highest One sees us perfectly for all we’re worth.
The Truth has to speak for itself. Human’s defense is a contradiction of Faith in Truth that needs no defense to Be the Truth from the beginning to the end. May we be humbled by the magnitude of a Blessing of Knowing and Receive what the Creator offers as the Sacred Exchange.
New Life flows through our veins. In the last trecena, the foundation for Higher Faith will be established by the Truth of our own Experience.
We Love the grand finale of a fireworks show, and we hate that it never lasts as long as we’d Love to see. The Provision for the limitation will be 13 days of Blessings being multiplied to abundance… in Synchronicity with the Season of Thanksgiving.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you
Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN
THE JAGUAR’S EARTH MAGIC OF GRATITUDE:
I’m grateful for the Light that shines in the darkness of the Unknown.
Bells would be a Divine Addition to a Sanctuary within. The power of any place is the reason and the time you’ve spent there, either in the realm of physicality, or in the whirlwind of Human’s endless questions that can only be answered as the Truth of our own Experience.

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.
4TH SEASON: 1 Wisdom/CIB begins the 4th Season of the Tzolk’in – 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 13 Eagle/MEN (Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI)Calculator linked on the resources page. Example – 33 days is a symbol of a day that you actualize the Truth from the beginning date.

CELEBRATING A 13TH GENERATION MAYAN PRIEST
Don Alejandro, 13th Generation Mayan High Priest, was destined to share the Mayan Calendars with the world in the time of the 13th Baktun. 13 rounds of 144,000 days marked the end and beginning of a new Era.
He experienced a set-back in his health about 3 years ago. It is very good news to hear he is happy and well, and needs taken are of.
Don Alejandro united indigenous tribes around the Earth and gathered us all in as One.
The Update from Joseph Giove: Joseph will be announcing an offering for donations and concordance to celebratee Don Alejandro’s 95th birthday. I will be following the news on that.
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 13: Ascension; Thirteen assists us to go to the next higher step, propels us to try something new or to try again. Thirteen energy takes us over the next mountain just to see what is there. Thirteen carries the last success to the newest effort. Thirteen is a number associated with the Ascended Masters, creation, expansion, and manifestation.
Deer/MANIK (Hand): Deer are spirit tools. Silence itself is a spiritual experience for Deer. For Deer life is a pilgrimage. Deer are dominant persons who defend the people and will make sacrifices for others. The spirit of Deer upholds the pillars of the four directions. With the power inherent in the number four, Deer pushes away bad influences or negative energies. Skill and quality of work are very important to Deer. They are presented with tools for every task in life and it is with these that they are able to rise above limitations. Deer has a habit of keeping every tool it has ever used. This leads to clutter and indecision, loss and procrastination. When confronted with promises not kept, Deer becomes stubborn, manipulative and evasive.
A GOOD DAY TO: Be of service to others.
