A Crossroad

The Truth marks a Crossroad that leads us one direction or another. There’s no going back to the way things were before when we know a direction that leads us in the integrity of our own Truth, when we are aligned with the Creator’s divine orders for Time.

8 Road/EB is the “Day of Destiny” – a Holy Day by Mayan tradition. It marks a Collective Experience witnessed by the whole that calls us to make a choice for the future. The Road is the Journey through Time, ordered by a calendar that is written within. A common experience doesn’t mean we’ll all “see it the same.” The Divine Choice leads to a healing. The Human choice leads us around in the same circle for history to repeat itself again.

 

THE TRECENA OF SERPENT/CHICCHAN: AWAKENING THE GIFTS OF SPIRIT
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
8 Road/EB (Human), Cherokee Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA, Destiny Kin 112, Position 12
August 27, 2025, 08/27/2025; Round Before: 12/10/2024, 07/09/2023

Greetings Beloved Kin,

8 Road/EB from the Round: 07/09/2023 – A note on the weather – non-stop rolling thunder started about 15 minutes ago, like I never heard before. I had to check to see if the neighbor was power washing his house at 10pm. No rain, just a steady drum roll.

Peak Tone 8 represents the Zenith Hour of Light. Number 8 is the Solar Number of “pure Spirit.” The Human calendar is called the Saq’ Be’ by the K’iche tradition and refers to our Spiritual Path of transformation.

The Road is illustrated on Human’s head. The future depends on the choices we make in the here and now. On either side of the Road are the milestones of Truth that guide the way. A crossroad leaves a mark that we remember as a beginning.

By the Cherokee tradition, Rattlesnake Tooth is an implement of spiritual healing, used to break the skin where the medicine of Spirit is applied. It left a mark.

We are forced to confront our own discernment when we witness the Truth of an experience at the same time. A question is raised in the Collective Consciousness of the whole. “What does it mean?” We know can’t change the minds of the whole. Will we go along to get along? Or will God’s Truth lead our way?

We have a Divine Hand to guide us. Tone 8 begins the Transformation Phase of Truth that is carried out by a Hand of Divine Agency. The Truth we follow depends on our Relationship with the Lord of our Creation. The Truth becomes the foundation for our Faith, that God can reveal the Truth to everyone, when it’s Time to Know.

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.

Are we willing to stand by the choices we’ve made when we come face to face with our maker on the Day of the Lord? Can we, in good conscious, justify that the choices we made for our Self were made for the Highest Good of the Whole? A Savior showed us the Way of the Compassionate Heart is to stand in someone else’s shoes.

The choices we make influence others. How many did we lead down the path. Were we a living example of God’s Love, or did we lead others astray. The position we take at the crossroad can lead us to Holy Ground, or we can add to the suffering of the whole who have to start from another beginning to learn the Truth all over again.

Number 8 holds the Intention of Divine Justice. We can’t move on until the lesson is learned. Truth WILL be revealed in the end. And no violation of God’s Law will be forgotten until the consequences are fulfilled. The Divine Balance is the Universal Law of Cause and Effect. The only thing that can save us is the Blood of a Savior who paid the price so we might know a Life where Love Overflows and Blessings Multiply to Abundance.

Whatever the experience may be, we’ll all see it with our own eyes. What it means to us will depend on who we choose to please. Are we climbing for worldly success and popularity, or will we take the Road less traveled that guarantees an ever-lasting life. God will give us another chance, until the Day of the Lord. We have to make the Choice to Live by Faith in God and in Fear of the One who will fulfill the promise of Divine Justice on behalf of the whole.

God spoke the Truth. It’s up to us whether we’re willing to know the Truth. Or, will we deny God, based on the odds that the Day will never come. If that’s what we choose, the Truth will be our Reality.

The Aztec Day Sign is “the Grass” (Malinalli), a symbol of Human’s perennial Spirit. The grass can be trampled, down-trodden and left for dead in the winter, but in the Spring the Grass always rises again. The Aztec define the Time as an auspicious Day for the Oppressed, and an inauspicious Day for the Oppressor. 

It’s a good day to follow God’s Will for Justice in Harmony and Equity with the whole. Time only lasts forever on the other side of life. All we have is here and now.

Matthew 25:40 KJV
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

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.

8 Road/EB (Cherokee Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA) – Day 8 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 8: Justice. Harmony and balance are the intent of Eights carefully weighs 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.’

Road/EB: The bearer of time and conductor of destiny; also known as Human; these persons open the road and guide to the future groups, communities and individuals alike. Likable, obedient, dedicated hard workers and organizers, Road persons are fortunate in business and travel. Many become care takers of the poor, sick, or old people, where they may make personal sacrifices. Road is sometimes referred to as the sign of grass, which is the most bountiful of all life forms, but is also the most humble. Road persons are affectionate and emphatic; they are easily hurt but slow to anger. Holding in of negative emotions and unexpressed resentment can lead to illness, a poisoned opinion of others and a false bravado for this sun sign.

A GOOD DAY TO: Do some community service.

Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA: Symbolized by a rainbow, the delicate display of electromagnetic rays of the SUN. Rattlesnake Tooth is the Natal day sign of Medicine, the Shaman, the Priest, the Healer, and the Sorcerer.  Guardian of the Way, Keeper of the Keys of the secret Kingdom.

CHICCHAN is guiding us to shed our old skin, and FEEL the Truth we can’t bury or push away. CHICCHAN is the Creator’s Power to reach us exactly where we are. The Truth is worth the sacrifice to know the Creator’s Love.
