1 Jaguar/IX

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Jaguar/IX is the Mayan symbol of Spirit. IX is represented by the Number 7, the symbol of a Divine Power of Creation. The Jaguar guards the threshold to the Holy of Holies at the top of the pyramid and a symbol of Spirit that is Unseen that lingers in all the Sacred Sites and Temples, where Humans have been drawn to bring an Offering in the Name of the Highest One. Jaguar/IX is the Queen of the Jungle, the Divine Feminine that serves as the Guardian of Mother Earth.

IX embodies the Element of Air, the Breath of Life and Breath of Spirit. Our Spoken Prayers are an offering of a Sacred Breath. We leave something of our self behind in the places we pray,  and the vibration of our Intention is drawn into sympathy with the Sound of Love spoken before. North is the direction Above,  the Source of Divine Inspiration and everything that is the Good and Perfect Will of the Creator.

Time is ordered for Reflection upon the Offering of Unity with the Highest One. IMIX was the Alpha and the Light of the Promise that guided us to the altar of a Sanctuary at the end. 13 Reed/BEN is the Sanctuary of a Divine Home where everyone who enters in is embraced as an equal member of a Divine Family.

The next logical step is to bring the Offering of our Time and Presence to experience the Truth, on Earth as it is in Heaven. 1 Jaguar/IX is the Holy Spirit that leads us from the Darkness of the Unknown into the Light of Truth we are intended to claim by our own experience.

PERFECT SYNCHRONICITY: The Hebrew Month of Elul, September 3, 2024
This round of the Tzolk’in offers a Sign of Perfect Synchronicity with the Hebrew month of Elul. Elul is a time of reflection and preparation for the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is customary to spend time learning and reflecting during this period. Some say that Elul is a month for refocusing, returning, and spiritual awakening. Some say that the Hebrew letters that comprise the word Elul – aleph, lamed, vav, lamed – are an acronym for “Ani l’dodi v’dodi li,” a verse from Song of Songs that means “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” Traditionally, the shofar is blown each morning (except on Shabbat) from the first day of Elul until the day before Rosh HaShanah. (Source: 5 Facts About Elul, ReformJudaism.org)

Song of Solomon 6:3
3 I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

A SYNCHRONICITY OF PRAYERS
C.S. Lewis was the inspiration to use Psalm 27 as our Morning Prayer for the Vision Quest. Today, I learn that Psalm 27 is the verse spoken as a Morning and Evening prayer through the Hebrew month of Elul.  A Divine Creator intends to prove that he is leading us through a Divine Order of Time.

The Vision Quest is a Time ordered to Look for the Signs, to Listen for the Sound of the Creator’s Voice, and to walk in Unity with the Highest One. Through a Spiritual Experience, our Eyes will be opened to See, our Ears opened too Hear, and our Heart opened to Conceive the Truth that the “Ancient of Days” is with us still, as it was in the beginning. The month of Elul is the Divine Sign for the beginning. (Visit the Vision Quest post to download the PDF that details the plan for the 2024 Vision Quest ceremony.) 

The Element of Air represents the Voice from the Heart of Sky as the Word of Truth. Wind/IK is the the Mighty Voice with the Power to carry out an “Act of God.” Tone 9 is the Day that, through an Intention of Patience, the Truth of the Big Picture is revealed. Tone 9 is a symbol of a Creation that is “finished” by the High, Higher, and Highest One (3+3+3). From the Holy Day of Tone 8 in the Year of 8 (2+0+2+4), 8 Crocodile/IMIX, the Alpha to the Omega, our Divine Justice is Seeing and Hearing the Creator’s Voice when we Ask to Know.

Matthew 7:7-12 – Ask, Seek, Knock
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The verse reflects the Divine Numbers 7:7 and a promise to Humanity (the 12). 1 Jaguar/IX holds Position 14 and Destiny Kin 14, a symbol of Spirit as 7 Above and Below united on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Wind/IK is represented by the “Tree of Life” as the “T” portals carved in stone that direct our eyes to See, and magnify the Sound for our Ears to Hear the “repeating Sound of Joy.” When we seek the Lord, we are drawn into a Divine Family as a Child of God.

The return of the “Christ Spirit” is the promise repeated in the final chapter of Revelation (Chapter 22). Chapter 22 speaks of the River of Life and the Tree of Life that stands on both sides of the shores between heaven and earth.

COMPLETING THE 1ST UINAL OF UNITY WITH THE HIGHEST ONE
7 Sun/AHAU completes the end of the 1st uinal. The new Seed of our Self is moving through the darkness to the Light. In the Darkness we are called to walk by Faith and not by Sight. When we reach the top of the pyramid on Tone 7, the Supreme Lord of Creation will be waiting to gather us in to the Holy of Holies.

Revelation 22:20-21 – The final verses that complete the Holy Word
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” 
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus. 
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

The Guardian of the Trecena
13 Transformer/CIMI (kee mee) is the end promised from the beginning as the Answer to our Prayers. CIMI is the symbol of the “Comforter,” the Holy Spirit that was written in the Heart of every Human Seed. CIMI is the Sign of a Major Life Change on the scale of Life and  Death. 13 CIMI falls on September 15, 2024, about 3 Days before the Harvest Moon.

As we prepare to enter into a Time of Sacred Ceremony, may we consider the Holy text we might carry into our Sanctuary of prayer, in a Time when we can be guided by the Living Word of God. We have 2 Days before the Vision Quest begins to tie up loose ends. On the medicine path the Time in Preparation is when prayer ties are created on the string that will serve as the Divine Boundaries of our Circle of Life. The sweat lodge is the ceremony that precedes every Sacred Ceremony. It’s a Time to purify our self and to wash the robes or prayer shawls that serve as our Divine Cover of Invisibility, so we can exist in Unity in the realm of the Unseen where God’s Face is the One that will appear before us in the Mirror’s Reflection. It would be worthy to cover up the TV screen and the cameras on our digital devices during the Time we devote to our prayers. This is Time to pray “in secret” for the Truth that is spoken one-to-one and intended as ours alone to know. The Elders called us to “hold our power” after every Sacred Ceremony by keeping the secret until such Time that we fully comprehend the Truth of the Experience. The rituals and sacred ceremonies carried out by Human are an effort of Faith through our “blood, sweat, and tears.” The Spiritual Experience is the Creator’s sacred exchange, After. More shall be revealed. The Elders suggested 3 months. From September, that leads us to the Season of Light, when we Sing Praises to the Son of God and for the return of the Light at the Winter Solstice.

Ecclesiastes 3:7 – A Time for Everything
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

By the Power of the Holy Spirit within, we were given the Authority to call upon our Higher Self to speak the Word to Bless our Self and the Whole. Our Divine Purpose was to bring Light to the world. Never in our lifetime has the world needed a blessing of Spirit more. May we call upon the Holy Spirit to carry out what is beyond Human’s understanding and power to do. The Holy Spirit of our Higher Self knows everything God Knows, and the prayers that cover the Unseen challenges to our Peace of Mind. Through the Power of our Love, may we seek to draw the whole into Unity by the Universal Law of Love.

BLESS THE LORD, OH MY SOUL. 
Numbers 6:24-26
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

THE DIVINE AFFIRMATION THAT COMPLETES DAVID’S SONG
Psalm 27: 13-14
¹³ I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living.
¹⁴ Wait for the Lord;
    be strong and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.

May we remember this as the Time when millions are seeking the Light and Dancing the Dance of Spirit. We can make a difference. May we see the Invisible Footprints of the Jaguar and listen for the Sound of our own feet as our Intention of Movement manifests the Creator’s Perfect Vibration of Love.

I love you for the Light you bring to this Time and Place every time you pass by. I don’t rely on Google ads to draw an audience, but rely on Faith that God will send those here that are intended for the Sacred Exchange.

love, in lak’ech, “i am another you”

Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN

THE JAGUAR’S EARTH MAGIC OF GRATITUDE
I’m grateful for the Holy Spirit that can speak for us when we give permission, to praise God’s Name all the day long.

THE TRECENA OF JAGUAR/IX: A VISION QUEST OF SPIRIT TO LIGHT A DIVINE WAY

Mahamayuri Mudra: The Mudra That Awakens Crown Chakra
Mahamayuri Mudra is a hand gesture or yoga mudra to enhance wisdom, protection, and clarity of thoughts. Herein, the right thumb is on the left thumb, and the fingers are interlaced except for the little fingers. Raise your hands with the mudra to about 6 inches above the top of your head and chant ‘Om’ in your mind.

Mudras are held for at least two minutes to connect electromagnetic circuits in the body.

1 Jaguar/IX  (Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI) – Day 1 of 13 of the Jaguar/IX trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 1: Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect One-persons to be attentive to details or to put the finishing touches on things.

Jaguar/IX: Born with a deep love of the Mother Earth, Jaguar or shaman is directly tied to the source of all Earth magic. They possess great power of intellect and strength or character through integrity. Jaguar energy is feminine in nature and is the ruling spirit of jungles, plains, and mountains. The spirit of Jaguar inhabits the Mayan temples and is called on to assist in spiritual as well as in material ways. Jaguar is also the god/goddess of gratefulness. Patience born of strength and skill can turn to pounce of quick decision and action. Both bold and stealthful, Jaguars do not often attack directly and communications from them usually contain some mystery. In the absence of integrity, Jaguars power corrupts becoming a search for wealth and fame.

A GOOD DAY TO: Commune and give thanks to Mother Nature.

Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI: Panther is symbolized by comets, meteors, shooting stars, fireballs, and magicians.  Meteors appearing around the middle of November are Heralds of the Coming of the Light, the Cherokee New Year. Panther is the Shadow of the Sphinx, Herald of the Dawn, guardian of the night when the sun is traveling through the underworld. Panthers have unlimited imaginations, visualizations, and are spellbinding speakers. The Totem Jaguar is the guardian of the portals to other dimensions; shamanic abilities will open; multi-dimensional magic; healer, leader, way shower energy when used for spiritual growth.  Abuse would be for using this power for control or negative purposes; must find a powerful balance.
