1 Deer/MANIK (Hand)

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Human’s Divine Mission for life is to serve as a Hand of God. The Deer is a symbol of Stability, as a Leader who guides and protects the whole. Justified by Faith in God through the chaos of Creation, our Ascension prepared us to carry out God’s mission for our New Life in Spirit.

Holding the Wisdom of God’s unfailing grace, we are prepared to stand silently in the Truth. God defends the Truth that speaks for itself. The Mayan priest isn’t a judge, but an example. We are guided to walk a humble path.

The circle on the glyph represents the Vigilant Eye of the Deer. The Deer use its peripheral vision to see the first sign of movement. Ears move independently, to identify the location of sound. They have Time to leap to higher ground, silently standing still.

God’s Mission for our Life is a dedicated path, counting every Day as Sacred. The Mayan priest serves the whole by Counting the Days, offering daily prayers, and carrying out the Sacred Ceremonies on behalf of the whole.

During the next 13 Days we will be consecrated into Divine Service.

 

The Context of Time the Next 13 Days

A New Seed of our Self was brought to life in the 1st uinal of 20 Days. Our first priority was knowing who we are and who we were intended to be. Deer/MANIK follows Daily Orders for Souls to be reconciled with God and one another.

The course is set from the beginning as a path to an altar in a sanctuary within. The staff is the symbol of One Divine Truth to stand on. God’s Highest Offering of Spirit is a Divine Provision for every Human limitation. God will do everything for us when we’re humbly enlisted into the service of Love, Wisdom, Understanding, and Forgiveness.

The Holy Spirit reminds us of the Word that speaks to our need. Jerimiah 29:11 is one of the most searched scriptures from the Bible.

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

We’re called to an altar for a Higher Purpose than asking for blessings. We’re called there every Day to tune in to the Vibration of a Power of Love.

HOLY OBSERVANCES

4 Dog/OC is the Global Burner Day at the center of the 1st Season. Global Burners fall on the Tone 4 of Stability at the center of each season. They are Times Ordered for a Release of Energies that no longer serve. Once the Higher Truth is Resolved, we can clear our mind of old wounds that have been healed. 4 Dog/OC offers the Creator’s foundation of Unconditional Love.

Days leading up to a Global Burner stoke the Fires within to let off steam and heave a sigh of relief. We need to be Vigilant during a Time when we’re just getting our feet on the ground. The New Seed holds the power to say “no” to anything that doesn’t support our Spiritual Path. We only have to say “no.” God resolves the Truth in his Time.

In the trecena of Deer/MANIK, every Day is a Sacred Observance. We stabilize our Faith by creating boundaries and rules by which we’ll play the game. Our basic training is “here’s what you can do when “x” happens.” In the next cycle, we’ll be set out into the world to see how it works by our own experience.

No harm can come to us when our Hand is Dedicated in Service to the Lord of all Creation. 

The Effect will reflect our Highest Offering of Service. The Ascension is 13 Storm/CAUAC, a Day that Lightning seizes our Heart as the Father claims our Spirit as his own.

Tone 1 begins from a state of inertia. Use the Time to nourish your body and soul.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

1 Deer/MANIK (Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi)  – Day 1 of 13 of the 1 Deer/MANIK trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in FREE CALCULATOR 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.

Deer/MANIK (Hand): Deer are spirit tools. Silence itself is a spiritual experience for Deer. For Deer life is a pilgrimage. Deer are dominant persons who defend the people and will make sacrifices for others. The spirit of Deer upholds the pillars of the four directions. With the power inherent in the number four, Deer pushes away bad influences or negative energies. Skill and quality of work are very important to Deer. They are presented with tools for every task in life and it is with these that they are able to rise above limitations. Deer has a habit of keeping every tool it has ever used. This leads to clutter and indecision, loss and procrastination. When confronted with promises not kept, Deer becomes stubborn, manipulative and evasive.

A GOOD DAY TO: Be of Service to others.

Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi: Symbolized by Constellation Galagina, the Stag, known as Taurus, the Bull. It does not include the Pleiades and Hyades clusters which in Cherokee are viewed as separate. To feed, gatherers of food and supplies, they enjoy rituals, ceremonials, feasts, the souls of hospitality, sociability. Freedom versus security issues often inspire leadership and unique solutions.  Combined with artistic and inspiring energies in harmony with lunar cycles, they nourish the clans. Totem-Deer:  A priest or shaman, a powerful person in general, to overwhelm an individual with one’s personal power, divination; inclined to become a teacher, healer, guru, civic leader, or politician.  Ability to create harmonic resonance.
