VISION QUEST: An Invisible Journey of Spirit
Honoring the Truth as the Light from Above
THE TRECENA OF JAGUAR/IX: A JOURNEY TO THE LIGHT
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

5 Flint / ETZNAB
“Flint Beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash.”
Greetings Beloved Kin,
One “first light” of Truth can change our perspective and the whole landscape of our Life. Truth is the Only Way.
Flint/ETZNAB is a Consciousness of Truth defined as telepathy. We Know the Truth when it reveals a mystery we’ve been reaching to know. If you track your thoughts on Flint, you’ll know how the Truth Feels. (Once you know, you know. You don’t need any further evidence.) The only question that lingers is How this Truth will change your life forever.
Number 18:18
Number 18 resolves to 9:9, a symbol of completion and the Sign of a creation that is finished. Nine reflects the Truth in Divine Trinity (3 x 3). The “X” is the symbol that defines the product of an equation of exponential value. Number 18 is the Truth that’s finished when all the facts of a matter add up to the Nine. 18:18 is the Truth that adds up to a Resolution of Peace.
We’ll know the Answer came from Above, when the Truth reveals a mystery of Love we’ve been reaching our whole life to know.

Wise men follow the Brightest Light of Illumination
Flint’s Element of Wind can change the landscape of our Life. The Truth presents itself as an “Act of God.” (So, everything will be okay.)
Tone 5 raises an Intention of Empowerment. Flint’s Truth goes straight to the heart of a matter. ETZNAB empowers us to see the Value of our own Truth, and the Truth that the Wisdom was shared from above. Flint’s Truth is intended to sweep the path clear to our future. The Human challenge of discernment is Duality, a natural tendency to question everything, especially Truth we know without all the facts of a matter.
It was easier to think of a million reasons we could be wrong, about our Faith in Human Love. The hard truth is that Love is not everyone’s intention for the end. The Truth can shatter an illusion we Loved. It’s clear to see, when we’re willing to know that there are few Human Beings who have our best interests at heart.
Flint’s Truth restores our Peace of Mind by raising the value of Our Own Truth. Flint shares the “first light” of a New Way to have Faith in our Self, and in the One Above who reveals the Mystery, exactly when it’s Time to know.

Flint resides in the North, the up-above direction of Wisdom. Wisdom is the application of the Truth we know for sure. The Element of Air is the Creator’s channel for a Divine Conversation, and the Light to See. Flint changes the “static” Truth through a “dynamic” experience of Knowing.
ETZNAB reveals an unexpected Truth that was hidden or covered up. There’s a Truth we’ve hidden for the threat it poses to a Human Relationship. Flint is said to tempt us to “act out of character.” Yet, “out of character” is the Truth we covered up to “get along.” There’s fine line between compromise and the denial of our True North. On Flint, we’re done with going along. Flint’s energy is edgy and the friction builds with every hour of the day.
The Time is ordered for Reflection and Introspection to know our own Truth beyond the influence of what anyone else thinks. We don’t have to speak the Truth for Truth to speak for itself. Flint is also known as the Mirror. The less we say, the more the Truth will be written on our face. The Truth is Common Sense.
The dilemma of every Empath is a heightened sensitivity to the Truth. The question that invariably rises to the top when someone imposes a dark perspective is, “How could they NOT know how that feels?” They DO know. WE BOTH ALREADY KNOW Common Sense. Nine completes a Circle and raises the Truth to Higher Ground. Circles become the Spirals that carry on to Higher Ground with every new revelation. It’s not our place to explain the Truth. Understanding is a choice. The Truth we can’t deny is written on our face in the Mirror.
ETZNAB is also symbolized by the Obsidian Mirror that returns the perfect Reflection of the Truth. Obsidian is a looking glass forged in Fire. Flint strike a Spark. It only takes a spark of Truth to light a Fire in the Heart by the Truth that IS, and WILL be, until the Creator decides it’s Time to Know.

Flint’s Truth stands out as a First Light of knowing we can’t forget. When it’s a question we’ve been asking all our life, we know the Creator saw the Truth that would restore our sense of Peace and Well-being. It takes Time to see how the “first light” will change the Road to our Divine Destiny.
This is a day to Honor the Truth revealed by the Light Above. The Truth of our own experience is worth to stand, until we learn a Higher Truth. The Wisdom to apply the Truth of our own experience, is the best we can ever do.
“Truth” is found in the roots of the Greek words “Alpha” and “Omega” – the Beginning to the End. A First Light will always lead the way to the Highest Consciousness of Knowing. Whether the Truth is “good” news or “bad,” the Truth is Beautiful for the way it sets us free.
Hold the Power of the Truth. Keep the Truth to yourself. It’s just the “first light.” Don’t explain it to people who don’t want to understand.
This is a day to offer forbearance and wide berth on the road. EVERYONE is temped to express in no uncertain terms what we REALLY think, and what we would REALLY love to do about it. Avoid the possibility of road rage. We’re all suffering just the same. Move in the opposite direction of the “gravity” that holds us down. Bless your enemies and let them be. Be invisible, like the Jaguar, and you will hear and see.
To all my relations, may we give thanks for ALL the Truth we can know and how Divine it is when we finally Know. May we give thanks for the Creator’s vote of confidence, that we have grown Wise Enough to know a Truth we feared could tear our illusion of Love apart. The Truth is the ONE WAY we know Love is Real.
Truth is the Living Sword to know Love in Right Relationship. We don’t need the details. Our Peace comes from Loving, and knowing we are not to blame. We have to know the Creator’s Unconditional Love first for the strength to stand on our own two feet. A Savior was the “first light” to know the Truth and the Way of our Salvation by the Golden Rule.
Divine Father,
Open our Hearts to Remember how the Truth always shares a way. We are willing to bear the wound to our Heart to know the Truth we’re prepared to Know. Thank you for every “first light” that shines bright enough at the beginning to lead us to the Highest Truth at the end.
Thank you for sharing the Truth a little at a time, until our Faith is strong enough to know it all. Thank you for always having our best interests at heart.
Help us wait for others to rise beyond their darkest fears. Thank you for waiting for me.
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN
A’se, A’se, A’se
So shall it be.
NAMASTE and Love in “lak’ech ala k’in” (i am another you, and you are another me)
Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN
THE JAGUAR’S EARTH MAGIC OF GRATITUDE
I’m grateful for the Creator’s Promise to Know the Truth of every mystery that matters to our heart. I’m grateful for the Time we’re given to know until our very last breath.

THE TRECENA OF JAGUAR/IX: An Invisible Journey of Spirit
The Highlights, Peak Energies, and Times of Synchronicity for this trecena are included on the 13-Day Trecena Guide.
The “Tzolk’in Field Guide” is my gift to download that includes the Count of Days with the aspects for each Destiny Kin and highlights for a personal practice with each trecena. It’s designed as a companion for daily practice.
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide. to download a free copy. Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in, and Volume 2 covers the 3rd and 4th to the end of the Tzolk’in round.
Crocodile/IMIX is the first trecena in the first season of the Tzolk’in round, found in Volume 1. The guide includes the overview for each trecena and the aspects for every day, so you can discern the Meaning of Time as it applies to your own Time and Place. It’s interesting to calculate the major dates in your life. You might discover they happened on the same Tzolk’in date. The calendar is written within. The Order is what we are naturally inclined to do. When you keep a daily journal to track your thoughts, you’ll see history repeat itself when the same matters are on your mind on the same day of every Tzolk’in round, only on a higher scale. One time around I overcame a fear of driving through Seattle rush-hour traffic. The next time, I was overcoming my fear to make a solo pilgrimage to the Mayan ruins of Ek’ Balam.
Also see Daykeeper Resources for calculators and calendar links, and the Spiritual Tools page for ways to add to cause for a higher effect.
5 Flint/ETZNAB (Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA) – Day 5 of 13 of the 1 Jaguar/IX trecena

The Jaguar was one of Ian’s totems, the reason for the IX in “MayanMajix.com”
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 5: Empowerment. At the center of the cube we find Five. Five is an intelligent, organizing force which manages communications and materials, knowledge and application. Fives are natural networkers who gather what is needed. These persons can probe directly to the core of any situation making them excellent investigators.
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.
