VISION QUEST: An Invisible Journey of Spirit
The Dawn of a New Awakening
THE TRECENA OF JAGUAR/IX: A JOURNEY TO THE LIGHT
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
8 Crocodile/IMIX (ee meesh), Cherokee Turtle/DAK’SI I’SB), Destiny Kin 21, Position 1
December 25, 2023 (12/25/2023)
Greetings Beloved Kin,

8 Crocodile/IMIX
Peak Tone 8 is the Holy Day that begins the Transformation Phase of every 13-day trecena. Human’s offering was the climb to Tone 7 with a Higher Intention to Love and Forgive to bring our Light to the world. Every transformation begins from the Truth we learned before. We were led by Crocodile/IMIX in the 1st trecena of the 1st 20-day uinal to the end of Knowing that a Divine Identity was written in Human’s Seed.
Every living thing reaches toward the end of knowing Love. We all have the same Consciousness of a Higher Way by the “Angel on our shoulder.” What is Common for the whole is the evidence of our Divine Design. The first order of business was to know the Voice of the Master, the Divine Masculine that shares the Gift of Light. The Vision Quest led by Jaguar/IX is “the work” of knowing the Truth that our Spirit always knows the way. The Light within is drawn from the Highest One, beyond the limits of our Human Nature.
Human always falls short of knowing the whole Truth of a mystery. What we do know, we forget when the Ego imposes doubts and fears. Then, there’s all the Truth we witness that we either don’t want to see, or consider it to be irrelevant to OUR life. We see the signs, but we call them coincidences. That’s why we turn to the past every Time we reach a Higher Truth, when we know we’ve seen it all before.
The Intention of Tone 8 is Justice in Harmony and Equity with the whole. The effort we invested in “the work” of Love will be applied by a Divine Hand Above – a Power of exponential value. Our Limitations will be the Measure of what the High, Higher, and Highest One will do.

THE 2ND UINAL
8 Crocodile/IMIX begins the 2nd uinal, a “higher” 20-day cycle with the highest Intention of Duality. We may find ourselves considering one way or another. The Divine Application of the Truth is not so black and white. The Divine Application of Duality is Comparing the Highest Truth we know more than once or twice, AND discerning the Truth from more than 1 perspective. Each of the 20 Day signs offers a Divine Perspective to compare to our best personal perspective.
For example, we may discern the right thing to do is say yes when someone needs a ride. “The work” isn’t done until we reach for the Element of Love. That means that we don’t start complaining about having to go as soon as we hang up. We share Light by “being there” in Spirit.
We are transformed when we offer the Truth of our Highest Way, and begin from there to compare our Truth to a Higher Way Above. The Creator will share an unlimited number of possibilities.
Crocodile/IMIX is the Divine Feminine and the Primordial Mother who carries out the duty to protect and nourish her young as a primal instinct. The Divine Feminine is the Strength of Compassionate Love and the determination to Discern the highest good for the whole. Mother’s Intuition is “Knowing how it feels.”
IMIX is known as the Mother of Innovation. She shares “wild ideas” out of the blue in random order. IMIX is always a very mentally active day. (People may be inclined to say more than they intended to reveal.) Expect the unexpected and remember to be Invisible. The Mayan observe IMIX as a Day to pray for good sense and reason. This is not a day to rush to discernment. Our Seed just reached beyond the dirt to the Sun.
IMIX holds the Element of Fire from the Heart of the Mother. We can feel a burning within to do something. Good things come to those who wait.
The point is to see the Truth of Divine Inspiration from a Higher Source that knows we can. The Divine Mother discerns the way to carry out the end for the highest good of the whole. No Dream gets away. The Dream we Love will carry us to the end of a Creation of Divine Genius. IMIX reminds us that the Dream with our Name on it may not be the easiest one. When we Love it, we’ll be surprised by what we can do.

We learn as we go back and forth. The higher the frequency of our Vibration of Love, the higher the peaks and valleys and the closer together are the ups and downs. Growth is accelerated by the Light. Pay attention to your vibration and the wild ideas. Write them down. It doesn’t have to make sense. It could make perfect sense later.
If we ask and we’re willing to know, the Creator will share the Truth. Knowing Divine Truth requires “the work” of Faith. We have to prove we’re prepared to hold Divine Wisdom without using the Power toward a Human end. From a higher perspective, it’s enough just to know what the Creator can do. Surrendered to Divine Will the Creator holds the Power, and if we’re prepared, we can be the vessel.
A Divine Creator can share a Dream “we HAVE to create.” Be prepared, if it doesn’t work out, REMEMBER, every step is leading to the end of a Dream that’s still beyond our imagination.
IMIX resides in the East, the Direction of the Sunrise and the Beginning of Life, Love, and Happiness.
May we claim by Faith the Light of the Christ Spirit is born again in our Heart. May we be a Savior when the Creator calls us to a Mission of Love. Our Divine Justice will be Life Multiplied to Abundance by the Faith we hold in the future.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

HOLDING THE WAY OF THE JAGUAR: The Power of Gratitude
I’m grateful we can never fail when we follow the Creator’s guiding light.
Merry Christmas!

AFTER A VISION QUEST:
The Elders said to “hold your power.” Your Divine Inspiration was the “first light.” There is more to know from the experience. As soon as Human tries to define what it means, we limit everything it can be. Always assume there’s more to know. This is Time to hold a dream to your heart for all the places you could go. Wait until the Truth speaks for itself. Look back in 3 months and see what’s changed.
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.

8 Crocodile/IMIX (Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB) – Day 8 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 8: Justice. Harmony and balance are the intent of Eight. Eights carefully weigh 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”.
Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force; simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages, so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.
A GOOD DAY TO: Open to new beginnings.
Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB: Symbol, Turtle Island. Direction East. The Turtle Constellation Orion, one of three stars in the Cosmic Egg. In Mayan this is the Cosmic Hearth. Energy of Creative force at the one-on-one, personal level; dawn, awakening, birth. The beginning of each new era, this star in Orion appears with the rising Sun, heralding the creation of a new World cycle. TOTEM Imix/Dragon – Energy to understand all things sacred. Creation energy, connection for visions to learn the mysteries of the Universal knowledge. The dragon carries the source energy of life, revered in ancient cultures for power and wisdom.
