Ignited by the Holy Spirit

It takes a Spiritual Experience to be set free from our worldly addictions. We’ve try to do it on our own when we make New Year’s Resolutions. God is the Source of Divine Changes. Through a Spiritual Experience we clearly see a change we have to make to continue to draw upon the Source of the Light. From that Day forward the Lord’s Way becomes everything our Heart longs to do.

The burden of Human limitations is lifted, when our Will is Forged to the Will of God. CHICCHAN is a Force of Spirit that moves us as Blind Faith in what God Shall Do. We KNOW the Truth by a Feeling.

A CYCLE OF LIGHT
The 13 Days cycle of Serpent/CHICCHAN represents an Empowerment by the Light of God’s Divine Inspiration. God will do for us what we can’t do for our self. We can’t conjure a Spiritual Experience. God is the Only One that can through an Offering of “Lightning in the Blood.” CHICCHAN is the Yod, a touch from the Hand of God. CHICCHAN holds Position 5, the symbol of Empowerment for Change.

 

THE TRECENA OF SERPENT/CHICCHAN: AWAKENING THE GIFTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

Greetings Beloved Kin,

A warning from the beginning…

When our Spirit is moved by God, all Human discernment by reason can’t stop what we become intent on doing. You may take action without a second thought, or speak the Truth without considering the effects beforehand.

Don’t take it back when you know it was the Truth. And, don’t defend what “you said.” Be humble, retreat, and allow the Truth to be. This not permission to be impulsive. You’ll KNOW the difference if it happens to you.

We can also Choose for God to speak for us when we’re in a tight corner. God can control what everyone sees, hears, and feels is the Truth. You can ask for God to “do the talking” when you don’t have the words to say.

CHICCHAN “lights the fuse that magnifies and explodes the life force itself. Knowledge, combining science, technology and psychology, plus spirituality are seeded on the planet.”

The symbol of Yod is found in many traditions. In the image from the Mayan Florentine Codex (above) the one who “sees the naked truth” shares it from the Heart. Gifts are awakened for a Divine Purpose — not to take advantage of another.

Matthew 5:18 KJV
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

CHICCHAN is the Kundalini energy that rises from the root Chakra to the Crown. Truth can seize our Heart and send chills up our spine. CHICCHAN can move us to tears. God must control our Consciousness of it. We think nothing of it most of our life. Our Spiritual Gifts are hard to recognize when they are “everyday” thoughts. We’re humbled by a Revelation of Spirit.

The Thoughts for the Day by the Christian Calendar

August 20, 2025, Memorial of Saint Bernard, Abbot and Doctor of the Church
Lectionary: 421

Reading 1, Judges 9:6-15
All the citizens of Shechem and all Beth-millo came together
and proceeded to make Abimelech king
by the terebinth at the memorial pillar in Shechem.

When this was reported to him,
Jotham went to the top of Mount Gerizim and, standing there,
cried out to them in a loud voice:
“Hear me, citizens of Shechem, that God may then hear you!
Once the trees went to anoint a king over themselves.
So they said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us.’
But the olive tree answered them, ‘Must I give up my rich oil,
whereby men and gods are honored,
and go to wave over the trees?’
Then the trees said to the fig tree, ‘Come; you reign over us!’
But the fig tree answered them,
‘Must I give up my sweetness and my good fruit,
and go to wave over the trees?’
Then the trees said to the vine, ‘Come you, and reign over us.’
But the vine answered them,
‘Must I give up my wine that cheers gods and men,
and go to wave over the trees?’
Then all the trees said to the buckthorn, ‘Come; you reign over us!’
But the buckthorn replied to the trees,
‘If you wish to anoint me king over you in good faith,
come and take refuge in my shadow.
Otherwise, let fire come from the buckthorn
and devour the cedars of Lebanon.'”

---

NOTE: Buckthorn invades natural areas and out-competes native plants for nutrients, light, and water. Buckthorn has no natural disease or insect predator to keep its population under control. It prevents native trees from regenerating by shading out the forest floor and also contributes to soil erosion.

Any Human that volunteers to be our Master will be corrupted by the power. A Human reason led them to “volunteer” their “service” of ruling the whole.

(It’s a good Time to Know. Fall is the recommended time to uproot any buckthorn trees growing on your property. They’re easy to see. Their leaves are always green.)

Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 21:2-3, 4-5, 6-7
R. (2a) Lord, in your strength the king is glad.
O LORD, in your strength the king is glad;
in your victory how greatly he rejoices!
You have granted him his heart’s desire;
you refused not the wish of his lips.
R. Lord, in your strength the king is glad.
For you welcomed him with goodly blessings,
you placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
He asked life of you: you gave him
length of days forever and ever.
R. Lord, in your strength the king is glad.
Great is his glory in your victory;
majesty and splendor you conferred upon him.
You made him a blessing forever,
you gladdened him with the joy of your face.
R. Lord, in your strength the king is glad.

Alleluia, Hebrews 4:12
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
The word of God is living and effective,
able to discern the reflections and thoughts of the heart.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

When we choose to leave the Power in God’s Hands, our Hand can’t be corrupted by it. God never reveals the Power of our Gifts, until we are prepared to receive it. We can Ask for anything, as long as we remember to say, “Not my Will, but Thy Will be done.” God longs to share the Gifts of Spirit. The trecena of Serpent/CHICCHAN is the Time for it.

Today’s Forecast…

Tone 1 begins the climb from the energy of Inertia. We only need to dwell in the Light and Praise the Lord. Pay attention to your gut instincts, and remember it means something, when you feel “lightning in the blood.”

GUARDIAN OF THE CYCLE: The Promise at the End
We Ascend on September 1, 2025. 13 Earth/CABAN – a Force of Nature that shakes us to the core as the Answer to a Prayer. CABAN is the Geomagnetic Force of Nature and the Clarion Call that begins every Great Migration on Earth.  (A total lunar eclipse occurs 6 days after, on Sept 7-8, 2025, that brings an end to the emotions that ruled the past.) FEELINGS ignite the Consciousness of Knowing.

LOOK FOR THE SIGNS.  Pay attention to your gut instincts and honor your Feelings.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

An Offering of Scripture and Prayers for this cycle of Creation.

Mornings

Psalm 100 KJV
100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Offering of Morning Prayer

Hebrews 12 NIV
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

Evenings

Psalm 4:8
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Number 6: 24-26
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord’s face shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
May the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you Peace.

PRAYERS FROM THE SECOND WATCH

Matthew 24:42-44 NIV
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

THE TRECENA OF SERPENT/CHICCHAN: AWAKENING THE GIFTS OF SPIRIT

The “Tzolk’in Field Guide” is my gift to download that includes the Count of Days with the aspects for each Destiny Kin and highlights for a personal practice with each trecena. It’s designed as a companion for daily practice.

It only takes 13 days to see how Faith is always raised to Knowing the Truth of Answered Prayers. You only have to track your thoughts. Record the matters on your mind in a journal to see how your perspective is changed by a Divine Order of Thoughts.

Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide. to download a free copy. Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in, and Volume 2 covers the 3rd and 4th to the end of the Tzolk’in round.

Serpent/CHICCHAN is the 3nd trecena of the 2nd season of the Tzolk’in round, found in Volume 1. There’s something more to see when you discern the meaning of Time for yourself. The meaning of time is revealed by the thoughts on your mind.

NOTE: Tone 1 reflects the 1st Light of Divine Inspiration as the “legend” of this chapter of Time. If you forget where you are, return to Tone 1 to see the “First Light” of Divine Inspiration. You can use the Tzolk’in calculator to gain insight on any date in the future or the past.

1 Serpent/CHICCHAN, Cherokee, Serpent/DO’TSI – Day 1 of 13 in the trecena of 1 Serpent CHICCHAN

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), who’s wisdom and Tzolk’in date calculator is preserved 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.

Serpent/CHICCHAN: Movement and the creation of time. Sensual and dramatic, this sun sign embodies intense instinctual wisdom and creates a connection from Earth bound, to Heavenly aspirations. By sincere service to others, Serpent opens and expands its heart. Serpent aligns authority and the truth to bring justice that is quick and sure. Serpents are very adaptable, even fluid until trapped in a corner, and then they explode. Serpents, venomous temper poisons itself as well as others by creating resentful, suppressive and even destructive attitudes.

Cherokee, Serpent/DO’TSI: Serpent’s symbol is Constellation Serpens. Serpent people are Sky people who come to earth periodically as Educators. As above-So below, on Earth the Serpent is the roots of the tree of knowledge. Serpent power is vital energy, the moving force, the instinct and desire for creativity, the trigger that sets off the action. It lights the fuse that magnifies and explodes the life force itself. Knowledge, combining science, technology and psychology, plus spirituality are seeded on the planet.

A GOOD DAY TO: Ask for flexibility and fluidity. 

A CHICCHAN DREAM THAT MANIFESTED CREATION:
1 Serpent/CHICCHAN (July 8, 2018) inspired a Pilgrimage to Ek’ Balam, the manifestation of an “impossible” dream. The “first light” was an offering to go for the Day of the Dead festival. Those plans fell apart, but I knew I had to go on my own, when I discovered that October 31, 2018 was 12 Sun/AHAU, Ian Xel Lungold’s Mayan Birthday, 13 years after his passing.  That was only the first of endless signs that confirmed one Time and Place I was divinely intended to be. God created Time and Place in a Divine Order.
