Breath of Life and Breath of Spirit
Wind created the landscape of our life, and it can change it. Our exploration of Earth-Sun relations is devoted to the study of the possible influence of solar activity on Earth. The severe Solar Winds that trigger auroras, also threaten our communications, satellites and power grids, as well as major weather events on Earth. In the big picture, the effects of Wind can effect the balance of power in the world.
“How’s the weather today?” is one of the first questions of the Day that can alter the course of daily life. The Maximum Power of the Wind seen in the Maya lands was the hurricane, and defined as an Act of God with the power to alter present and future reality. We fear and respect the Power of Wind.
Does Solar Wind Influence Historical Events?

AZTEC: Day Ehecatl (Wind, known as Ik in Maya) is governed by Quetzalcoatl aka Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent. By any Name it refers to the Source of the Word of Truth and Divine Illumination, and the Almighty Power to reach its end. The Feathered Serpent is the Light Display that descends on the calendar pyramid in Chichen Itza at the Vernal and Autumnal Equinox. In the Maya lands there are only 2 seasons, the hot and dry and the wet and “cool” (90’s F). The Mayan Solar calendar year is based on the Zenithal Sun, by its Time and Place.
There are several Haab calendars, based on the Place/Position of the Zenithal Sun. It’s known as “the Day of no shadows.” In India they celebrate “Zero Shadow Day” at their Zenithal Sun. Solar Maximum amplifies the Light, and the Solar Wind is the First to the Last Word of Authority on the landscape of all Life on Earth.
NASA: The Sun
The Sun is the star at the heart of our solar system. Its gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything — from the biggest planets to the smallest bits of debris — in its orbit.
The Wind is the Creator’s Voice that delivers the Word and the Truth that Shall Be.

HOLY DAY OF PURIFICATION: 8 Wind/IK
Greetings Beloved Kin,

8 Wind/IK
Tone 8 represents the “end” of the Zenith Hour when Truth is brought to Justice. We are laid bare by the Light. The Wind can sweep away the illusions of the world. When a hurricane levels a home to its foundations, the Truth of our Spirit is revealed.
The Aztec associated the Eagle with the Number 8. The Mayan translation of 8 is “pure spirit.” The Wind is the Breath of Consciousness and the Critical Sign of Life.
Our Divine Justice is that by Faith, we do what we have to do to survive. We see what we’re made of when we begin again. The “T” portal carved in stone directs the eye to see and magnifies the sound of the Wind. A mighty Wind can turn us around and catch our Wings to carry us to a Higher Perspective of the Big Picture. Peace lies at the Eye of the Storm.
HOLY DAY OF PURIFICATION
8 Wind/IK represents the Divine Justice of the Word. Anyone who consumes it is promised Everlasting Light. Words of Love go on forever as the Living Word. The Maya call Sacred the texts whether they could read them or not – their presence was God’s “I Am” on the Altar. By Christian Tradition, the Bible lays on the altar with the Light of a Candle.
When our leaves are stripped bare, we’ll know everything that’s given is by the Grace of God. When we have nothing to give, we learn to Receive. Receiving Love is the Power that manifests Loving Back.
1 John 4:19
19 We love because he first loved us.
Nothing we have to give in the world is equal to the offering of Compassionate Love when we have no choice but to receive and nothing to give back.
Wind/IK is the Chaos that disrupts an existing Order – the Sign of a Major Transformation in Progress as the Winds of Change. Everything is up in the air. As we Wait to see where the pieces will land, the Light of Divine Inspiration moves us like the Eagle that leans in to the Truth that’s Real in the moment.
This is a Year of Holy Purification as the Wisdom of the Truth – Haab Year Bearer, 1 Wind/IK. Soon ending the Celebration of the Jubilee Year, Wind/IK’s Power is doubled as the Day 8 Wind/IK in the Year 1 Wind/IK, Destiny Kin 222, a symbol of the Power of Creation. The Day of Justice is the “end” of the Word that fulfills its purpose.
Time is ordered for the Word to reach its destination, as double CMEs reach Earth. The Sun is aligned with its most powerful Sunspots aimed in Earth’s direction – with Solar Winds coming around the corner.
We don’t have to “see” it to Feel it, when that’s the Creator’s end. The Light of Illumination shines within, when we Know it. Wind/IK is a Truth by an Act of God that can change our Heart and change our mind. This is the center of a 3-Day Perihelion with the Sun in its position of influence in the past and the future.

The Daily Reading from the Christian liturgical calendar, April 19, 2025
Reading 1
In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth,
the earth was a formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss,
while a mighty wind swept over the waters.
Then God said,
“Let there be light,” and there was light.
God saw how good the light was.
God then separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”
Thus evening came, and morning followed—the first day.
Then God said,
“Let there be a dome in the middle of the waters,
to separate one body of water from the other.”
And so it happened:
God made the dome,
and it separated the water above the dome from the water below it.
God called the dome “the sky.”
Evening came, and morning followed—the second day.
Then God said,
“Let the water under the sky be gathered into a single basin,
so that the dry land may appear.”
And so it happened:
the water under the sky was gathered into its basin,
and the dry land appeared.
God called the dry land “the earth, “
and the basin of the water he called “the sea.”
God saw how good it was.
Then God said,
“Let the earth bring forth vegetation:
every kind of plant that bears seed
and every kind of fruit tree on earth
that bears fruit with its seed in it.”
And so it happened:
the earth brought forth every kind of plant that bears seed
and every kind of fruit tree on earth
that bears fruit with its seed in it.
God saw how good it was.
Evening came, and morning followed—the third day.
Then God said:
“Let there be lights in the dome of the sky,
to separate day from night.
Let them mark the fixed times, the days and the years,
and serve as luminaries in the dome of the sky,
to shed light upon the earth.”
And so it happened:
God made the two great lights,
the greater one to govern the day,
and the lesser one to govern the night;
and he made the stars.
God set them in the dome of the sky,
to shed light upon the earth,
to govern the day and the night,
and to separate the light from the darkness.
God saw how good it was.
Evening came, and morning followed—the fourth day.
John 4:48 KJV
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
Jesus was asked for a Sign of Time and he refused. He said the Signs were already given. God gives the Light within as the Sign we don’t have to see to know.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

PRAYERS FROM THE THIRD WATCH
The next time you’re Called to Pray, refer to the 8 Watches by the Time of Day. You may discover it was the reason for your prayers. Someone somewhere else is praying. We can remember them in Divine Trinity in our Amen.
THE EIGHT WATCHES
Night Watch
First Watch: 6 pm – 9 pm – Contemplation and laying foundations in prayer.
Second Watch: 9 pm – 12 am – Intercessory prayer for protection of ourselves and those around us
Third Watch: 12 am – 3 am – Spiritual warfare (We are covered by the blood of Jesus.)
Fourth Watch: 3 am – 6 am – Prophetic prayer because you are commanding your morning with prophetic decrees and declaring God’s word
Day Watch
Fifth Watch: 6 am – 9 am – Petitions. Ask for strength and surrender. Ask for the Holy Spirit to help you before you start your day
Sixth Watch: 9 am – 12 pm – Thanksgiving prayer
Seventh Watch : 12 pm – 3 pm – This is the seventh watch of rest. 7 Biblically represents that. This is a time to seek God in the secret place

If you are just starting to count the days you can look to see the Mayan dates for major life experiences to understand the meaning of a Truth that came before. The Daykeeper Resources page offers a library of free resources to count the Time.
8 Wind/IK (Cherokee, Whirlwind/AGALU’GA) – Day 8 of 13 of the 1 Eagle/MEN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in 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”.
Wind/IK: Breath of Spirit, breath of life. Winds embody the power of dissemination and planting of good seeds or ideas. Dreamers and planners with powerful imaginations, Wind persons make great orators and they spread the word of spiritual inspiration as it is carried by the wind. Wind is the power behind the movement of natural cycles such as weather, erosion, and cultural change. As the wind, these persons are extremely changeable and adaptable. They may appear inconsistent or fickle to others. Wind can be destructive to self and others by putting on airs. When Winds strut and boast, expanding on facts and accomplishments, they are building the dark clouds of trouble that may become hurricanes.
A GOOD DAY TO: Send communications of all kinds.
Cherokee, Whirlwind/AGALU’GA: Whirlwind’s symbol is a double spiral helix in rising smoke. Wind brings energy for an Inquiring mind, learning and wisdom. In Cherokee, the constellations are represented by 12 birds (dancers), the 13th bird is the Whirlwind, the lead dancer. This reflects the whirling of life. Wind is the breath of the Universe (matching the Mayan symbol) channel of communication and carries the Sacred Smoke to the Great Spirit (Source- Hunab Ku in Mayan); matches the pulse of the breath of the Cosmos.
