HOLY OBSERVANCE: CELEBRATION AND INITIATION OF THE MAYAN PRIEST

Greetings Beloved Kin,

A transformation begins on the 8th Tone, which represents the zenith hour of light.  Tone 8 is the Intention of Divine Justice. Deer/MANIK is the Destiny Kin of the Mayan priest.

We were guided by the Deer in the last trecena to follow a dedicated daily practice of Divine Communion. The Mayan priest Counts the Days and asks to know the Meaning of the Time. Hand is a symbol of MANIK, dedicated to the Creator’s Mission. The Deer carries out the Mission on behalf of the whole, the nahaul of a “Shepherd to become a Savior.”

We may have taken up the Mission to save our self, but God’s Mission was to save the whole. The Truth is exalted in God’s Zenith Hour of Light. 8 Deer/MANIK is a Revelation of Revelations. We may be hanging on by a thread, but the hand in the glyph is grasping a thread of plasma that complete a circuit of supernatural powers of Faith.

In God’s eyes, we’re right on course and “the work” is making a difference in our own life, and in the lives of the whole. Our Faith can anchor a network of people we don’t know.

 

“Initiation” is commencement to Higher Learning. The path of the Deer leads to the manifestation of the Christ Spirit. The Monarch, “king of butterlies” completes its mission of migration in 4 generations. The Star shines equally in all directions. The priest walks in the integrity of his authentic nature that matures over Time.

1 Corinthians 11:1 NIV
11 1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

We’re changed in 13 Days. Then, 8 Days following, we have a Revelation about the Truth we learned before. When God’s Light dawns on us, we’ll see it’s a Sign for the future. Every path has a beginning and this is the beginning for a new Seed that feels the presence of the Father.

The Bible fell open to Zechariah, “He who God remembers” written in the margin. In Hebrew Zechariah means “Yah remembers.” Yah is a personal expression for Yahweh.

Our Divine Justice is knowing that when we Call, our Divine Father will know our Name.

Psalms 18:28-30 NIV
You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

8 Deer/MANIK (Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi) – Day 8 of 13 of the 1 Sun/AHAU 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”.

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.
