Greetings Beloved Kin,
Jaguar/IX (eesh) represents Spirit. Number 8 is the K’iche word of “pure spirit – Waxajquib (washa h’ kweeb). In the 1st Season of a New Life, knowing our identity was the 1st priority in the 1st 20 Days of the uinal, the meaning of Time by God’s Higher Order. In the 2nd uinal of 20 Days the 1st priority was establishing a meaning and a purpose.
The trecena of Deer/MANIK is guiding us to a Divine Purpose for our Life. When we don’t have a higher purpose, we are merely surviving. Life begins to feel like an endless same-day-everyday experience. Our “pure spirit” was designed to Create a Beautiful Life that ripples Love through generations.
Our body is still going through the motions of cellular memories. Our Spirit is rising as God’s Hand of Love in the world. The Miracle of Transformation happens overnight. It takes Time to overwrite old patterns of unconscious movement.
Chaos is the Sign of a Major Life Change in progress. Spirit tracks thoughts and conversations we rehearse so we won’t “get it wrong,” until we realize we’re “trying to be.”
Tone 8 is the Holy Day of every 13-Day cycle. The Day of Tone 1, becomes Tone 8 in the cycle that follows. 1 Jaguar/IX was the cycle before, a Vision Quest to realize the Truth of Spirit. On Tone 8 the Answer to our Prayer is exalted in the Zenith Hour of Light. Tone 8 holds the Intention of God’s Divine Justice.
“You’re going to die anyway” was an answer I never expected to hear when people were dying of COVID. I was at the epicenter of the outbreak in Seattle. Before doctors learned how to treat it, last goodbyes were shared upon arrival at the hospital doors. People I knew watched at a great distance. “It’s all in your mind.” A Divine Purpose for our Life is a matter of Death or an Abundant Life.
No one else can see a Radical Life Change at the beginning. We learned our Identity and the Truth is Invisible. Jaguar/IX is a Day to Apply the Truth. Be Invisible.
The Vision Quest was a ritual of Silence and Reflection. God sees the Footprints of Faith as the Light to carry on. We don’t have to defend our Spirit to the world. In stealth we become the witness. 8 Jaguar/IX shares the Truth of a Divine Witness.
Tone 8 begins the Transformation Phase of Creation. From Tone 8 to Tone 12 “the work” lies in God’s Hands. After the Day of Understanding (12) our Ascension is 13 Storm/CAUAC. when One Above and One Below stand in Agreement. Storm/CAUAC is “God that claims us.” Our heart is restored by Lightning in the Blood.
Matthew 6:6 NIV
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Our Divine Communion is a Secret Conversation with the One who can’t see the darkness and will never share Our Truth with another living Soul. We’ll understand what it means. This is just the beginning.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you
Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN
PS. If you get lost in what’s happening, go back to the beginning and remember what you Asked. The Prayer is being Answered in God’s Divine Order of Time.

8 Jaguar/IX (Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI) – Day 8 of 13 of the 1 Deer/MANIK trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in FREE 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”.
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 Earth.
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 Cherokee 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. Ix: The Kab’awil represents the heart of the planet, the female reproductive tract, the face of a jaguar and points east on the world map. Ix: woman, tiger. Conducive to pray for grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters and wives day. For wisdom at 4 Balances, cunning and protection of Mother Nature. To thank the Earth for sustenance. Ix is the native cunning, enterprising, vigorous, bold and realistic.

By providing the original text, I hope to offer a way to see what inspired my thoughts and by including all the aspects – allow for something more to inspire you. Mayan descriptions are those written by Ian Lungold. Cherokee descriptions came from multiple sources.

It’s a final test, only we already passed. We carry on.
I like that, Debra.
