Greetings Beloved Kin,

8 Crocodile/IMIX
Crocodile/IMIX is the Alpha to the Omega of Sun/AHAU. Sun/AHAU offered the Revelation from the One who can do everything and be everything our Heart Desires. IMIX is the primordial Mother, the Voice of Reason from a Compassionate Heart.
Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should. IMIX is a Day to pray for good sense and reason. The Divine Feminine reminds us there is a Time and a Place for everything. Just because we learned to ride a bike, doesn’t mean we’re ready to head for the highway. Time will tell.
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.
“Waiting on” vs “Waiting for”
“Waiting on” relates to someone we will serve. “Waiting for” is a matter of Divine Timing.
IMIX is a day of mental activity. The Crocodile shares “wild ideas” from the Highest One to Inspire our Dream for the future. Bright ideas come in random order as disassociated thoughts, out of the blue. This is the Day when we’re likely to be flooded with new ideas that stirs our impulsive nature. Time is ordered to Wait. The lesson of the Day is that when we are “waiting on” the Lord, we can afford to Wait for Divine Inspiration that will always be shared from the Heart of Sky.
In the Time of Harvest we gather the Fruit of Spirit. The Real Bounty is the Seed that lies within. The Divine Feminine shares the aspect of Compassionate Love and Divine Discernment. It takes Time to learn to grasp the Wisdom of Truth by our own experience. The Elders call us to “hold our power.” As soon as we share our “wild idea” with the world, we will crystalize an Intention by the limits of our Human imagination. And, we invite third-party thoughts that are unlikely to believe in a Dream they don’t have the Faith to carry to its end. The Sacred Exchange for our Vision Quest is the “1st Light” of knowing. More shall be revealed in the Time it takes to see the Big Picture.
Yesterday’s energy felt more like IMIX. Everyone was charged by the Light of the Sun. IMIX is likely to be super-charged for Communication and for Impulsive Action based on that 1st Light of Power to do anything. (It should be an interesting presidential debate. The winner is likely to be the one who waits, with the sense to save their “best stuff” until a better Time when their voice will hold the Wisdom of the experience.) That’s the Wisdom of Time we’re intended to follow.
Autumn is the Time for letting go, clearing away, and turning the soil for a future Harvest. It leads to the Dreamtime of Winter, Time ordered to hold the Seeds and choose the One that speaks to our Heart and Mind. It’s said that when you choose the IMIX Dream you Love with all your heart, you will manifest a Creation that everyone will agree is an end of Divine Genius. Too many dreams can be as big a challenge as having no dream to Light the Way.
A Divine Mother sings the lullaby of Love and calls us to “sleep on it.” IMIX is the Duty of the Divine Feminine to nourish a Dream that will last to the end. We’re likely to reach for the easy dream that lies within our grasp. If we carry on Waiting, the One who shared the “1st Light” will raise the Dream to its Highest Potential.
The Holy Day of Tone 8
Peak Tone 8 is the Zenith Hour of Light and the Intention of Divine Justice. A Truth is exalted in the Zenith Hour that will nourish the Dream that leads to Life in Abundance to Infinity. God will show the Way if we wait for the Divine Time for everything.
Matthew 3:1-3 – John the Baptist Prepares the Way
1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:
Dreams can overtake our mind of Reason. If we change our Highest Priory, we’ll have to learn the hard way that the Light was Offered for the Highest Intention. IMIX reminds us of our Divine Identity and our Highest Purpose to be a Human Hand that “waits on” the Lord and seeks His Highest Way to carry out every end. If we “worship” the Dream, we’re likely to justify every means to reach the end. Wait. The fastest way is never the best way. The Best Way takes Time to know the Highest Application that will serve the Highest Good of the whole. And while we wait, the first order of business is clearing away energies that no longer serve the Creator’s Highest End.
This round, our thoughts are charged by Mercury’s Unseen Force of Communication. Look for the Signs of the Source of everything Perfect and Good that shares the Truth, exactly when we need to know.
THE 2ND UINAL
8 IMIX leads the way for the Intention of Duality. We are called to put our Human Powers of discernment to the test. Human’s way of comprehending the Truth is through the comparison of One thing to another. Throw out everything that didn’t work before, and the Lord will raise the Creation beyond everything we imagined before as the “limit” of our possibilities.
love, in lak’ech, “i am another you”

THE JAGUAR’S EARTH MAGIC OF GRATITUDE
I’m grateful that the Source of Divine Inspiration will always “wait on” us and allow us to learn through every failure. Faith in the Lord is the way to insure our hopes are not dashed by our first failure. I’m grateful that failure is the Creator’s Highest Means to the End of the Wisdom of our own experience.
In the last round, 8 Crocodile/IMIX fell on Christmas Day. That was the Sign for the future. In this Season of Light, the Seed that we’ll choose will be the Birth of the One we were created to be. (12/25/2024 is 10 Deer/MANIK, a manifestation of the Hand of God, the Destiny Kin of the Mayan priest. The “Christ Spirit” is the Master Teacher that reveals the Salvation of the Creator’s Highest Law of Love.) The Healing comes first. The Effects will follow.

8 Crocodile/IMIX (Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB) – Day 8 of 13 of the 1 Jaguar/IX trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and FREE Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Your Mayan birthday reveals the role you were born to play in the Creation conceived from Above.
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.
