Greetings Beloved Kin,
A Quickening of our Spirit offered a Divine Reason to live again. The Aztec call Ollin the Day of the purified heart, offering Signs of who we are becoming and a Reason to live with all our Heart.
SYMBOL 13:13
13 is the Sign of Ascension by the Truth of Answered Prayers. 13 is the number of theurgy, Human’s power to call upon a Divine Hand to intervene in Human affairs through our rituals and sacred ceremonies. Rituals are prayers that create Sound in the Universe. Sound generates the Vibration of our Clarion Call to the Highest Power of Creation. Every move we make creates the Sound and Vibration of our Spirit’s Intention. We are called to Move with all our Heart in Faith for what a Divine Creator promised to do.
On the Tone 13 of Ascension we rise above questions that are tied to the past. Once we comprehend the Truth, we see higher mountains to climb. We want to try again, or start something brand new. When we know the Truth of the past, we realize a new life was waiting for us to focus all our energy on the future. We can forget we have a life, when we’re tied up by questions that have nothing to do with our journey through Time.
We don’t have to go along. Our life was a sovereign gift to choose our own way. We are released from second-hand news about who we are, in favor of the One who’s witnessed the Truth and who will always be standing in our corner. The Aztec call this an inauspicious Day for those who depend on other Human Beings for the discernment of the Truth. God’s Truth is the only Light that matters.
We’re 9 months in to the Haab year, 13 Earth/CABAN (by Northern Count) in synchronicity with Earth’s Season for a New Light to be born. The more a Sign is repeated to more we question, “what does it mean?” Signs and symbols draw our thoughts toward Divine Possibilities with each repetition. 13 CABAN turn our thoughts to the Mystery of Life on Earth and the question of our own Meaning and Purpose for Being. The Creator offers Signs when it’s Time to see.
We realize “a reason to be” is our Common prayer. Life can feel like a waste of blood, sweat and tears if no one will remember. Every life matters to the Creator. We’re transformed by Love that is with us in every moment. Some are willing to sacrifice their lives and their identity to the world for 15 minutes.
On the Full Cold Moon our Ancestors faced the odds of life or death. When someone dies and we live on, we question why we were the one who was spared. We feel a new obligation to Live with all our Heart on behalf of the ones who weren’t so lucky.
13 Earth/CABAN raises our Gratitude and Appreciation for Life. It’s Time to acknowledge the Gift that’s well worth the cost of our blood, sweat, and tears. God will heal our Hearts and share the Clarion Call to Live Again for a Higher Purpose… in memory of those who were lost to yesterday.
The Season of Light is a Time we remember. The Maya believe that when we remember our Ancestors we offer a living body of Consciousness as a place for them to live in our hearts and minds again. Our memories aren’t still images, but living images of Time we shared before. In spite of personal failures we remember we remember the one who played Santa Claus, a Sign of Love.
Only the few knew the holiday as a time as illustrated on holiday cards or movies made for TV. But, it’s hard to forget when someone we loved is no longer in the picture that “should have been.” God restores our Faith in Love through the darkest days of the Year.
The Saints live on in the Creator’s recording of Time. They are gathered with us again in our most cherished memories. We don’t remember the gifts so much as the Time that is lost forever.
The Creator restores a reason to Live for the day when we will be missed in our best light.
This is a Day to celebrate with the Mother and Father of Creation. I’m grateful for all the Signs of Order and a Divine Plan. Humans are the second-hand witness to the experience of Life and The Creation ordered by Time.
The Full Cold Moon and 13 Earth/CABAN mark a Time to give thanks for our Life and to Celebrate the Gift of another chance to Live and Love again.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
THE TRECENA OF SERPENT/CHICCHAN: AWAKENING THE GIFTS OF SPIRIT
My gift for the Tzolk’in round is the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in round. The “Field Guide” is available to download from a link on the 13-day Trecena Guide Page.
Tracking your thoughts during one 13-day trecena, you will see the synchronicity of Time, and an ascension as the answer to a prayer you hold as an Intention of thought from the beginning.
The Serpent/CHICCHAN trecena is part of Season 2, found in Volume 1.
NOTE: If you see repeating numbers, SacredScribes is a resource to check the meaning of Angel Numbers.
13 Earth/CABAN (Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI) – Day 13, Ascension from the 1 Serpent CHICCHAN‘s cycle of “Light.”
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom 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.
Earth/Caban: Keeper of the garden of Earth. Profound synchronistic connections to Earth’s natural cycles and energies provide power of creations and memories of ancient wisdom. Earth persons help dispel bad intentions, habits and ideas. This makes them very good counselors and masters of all arts. Studious and intelligent, Earth persons endeavor to bring a flow of natural order to all aspects of life. Being connected to the dynamic forces of nature, Earth persons need much liberty to facilitate their expression of migration or the sending of long distance communications such as the whales, elephants, birds and many other creatures. Sometimes Earth’s delicate sensitivities are upset resulting in quakes of emotion even the display of volcanic temper.
A GOOD DAY TO: Give thanks to Mother Earth for all her gifts.
Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI: Sign of movement, of perpetual motion, recycling, regeneration; environmentalists fighting for the underdog. Heron is mentally alert, rational, yet opinionated; has a great faith in people and in the divine plan, holding the magic of ministry, medicine, marketing and matchmaking; healing abilities, especially with crystals; negotiation and mediation energy. Heron is symbolized by Deneb, located in the Northern Cross beside the Milky Way.
