The Evidence of Things Not Seen
Both the darkness of fears and the Light of our Faith are based on the evidence of things not seen. We fail to look for the Source of One, or the other. The Source of Light intends to be seen. The author of lies operates from the shadows.
A Vision Quest is a journey to see the evidence unseen and the Creator’s Light. We have to look to see anything. The journey of the Jaguar is Time that’s dedicated to the purpose.
The Jaguar is rarely seen in the wild, though its presence is known by the heavy footprints it leaves behind. We can’t see where Spirit goes, but we can see where it’s been.
THE TRECENA OF JAGUAR/IX: A JOURNEY IN THE LIGHT

Greetings Beloved Kin,
The Intention of first priority is our Unity with the One Above all. We were awakened by the One Above that came before. The cycle of 1 Crocodile/IMIX was the primordial Light that appeared to come out of the blue, as wild ideas and the imaginings of a new creation.
1 Jaguar/IX is the One that carries us on to Higher Ground. The Master Number 11 is reflected by the Tone 1 in the 1st uinal of 20 Days, the Alpha to the Omega of the Creator’s 1st Light of Truth. It’s not enough to be inspired by Divine Possibilities. We have to realize that God’s Light is the Beginning that reveals the Truth that Shall Be at the end. We are grounded by the Light when we know the Truth by our own experience.
Humans are beings of duality (2), the presence of our Human Nature and our Divine Nature. A Vision Quest holds the Intention to unite the 2 as 1 to bear the Fruit of Spirit. The indigenous tribes referred to the Life of Spirit as the Path of Beauty.
The Navajo call it the Pollen Path, which is not linear, but cyclical. The Pollen Path symbolizes the interconnectedness of all living things. Pollen represents the life force or energy that flows between us, bringing balance and harmony to the natural world.
Pollination is the evidence that the Fruit of Spirit is a creation woven together by Relationships in the Natural World.
A CYCLE OF DARKNESS
Cycles of Darkness represent a journey into the Unknown, where we realize the Light of Truth by the Wisdom of our own experience. A Vision Quest is a ritual and a sacred ceremony with One Intention, to witness the Truth from realm of Spirit.
Every tradition of Faith in the One God offers something worthy. What’s the difference between a candle in a church, or a circle around a fire? An omnipotent God knows the Intention of our Heart.
Matthew 4:4 KJV
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Our Senses of Spirit are heightened for the journey of the next 13 days. Under the cover of invisibility, we can witness the Truth. When we aren’t trying to be seen in the world, we become an Observer of the Truth.
Matthew 6:6 KJV
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Pope Francis shed light on the path for the sacred ceremony of Lent. The ritual begins with the words of the prophet Joel. We hear an invitation that arises from the heart of God, who with open arms and longing eyes pleads with us: “Return to me with all your heart” (Joel 2:12).
The Sacred Ceremony of Lent begins with a confession. The hidden Truth about our Self stands in the way of knowing we are loved as we are. Pope Francis shared the questions we can consider to be reconciled to God. : HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS, Saint Peter’s Basilica, Ash Wednesday, 17 February 2021.
There is wisdom in all the different ways we reach to know God. The first step shared by the indigenous Elders was the same — a confession to ask for forgiveness. In humility we acknowledge our imperfect ways, and ask to be seen by the purity of our Intention. The Jaguar’s “earth magic” is Gratitude. We can give thanks for the Word that promises what our Divine Father will do.
Matthew 7:7 KJV – Ask, Seek, Knock
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
The Vision Quest is a tradition of prayer held in a Secret Place. We can create a real place set apart from the world.
THE GUARDIAN AT THE END
13 Transformer/CIMI is the promise at the end from the beginning. CIMI is the symbol of the Holy Spirit. The Life of our Spirit depends on our Relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. An Ascension to Holy Ground will be the Answer to our Prayer.
The Jaguar is the Guardian of Life on Earth. We are called to be close to the Mother. Her Beauty is the expression of God’s Love that goes before and behind, and all around.
The Meaning of Time by the Christian Calendar
February 5, 2026, Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr
Lectionary: 471
[Excerpt] Reading 1, Romans 4:1-8
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven
and whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not record.
Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 32:1b-2, 5, 11
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.
Blessed is he whose fault is taken away,
whose sin is covered.
Blessed the man to whom the LORD imputes not guilt,
in whose spirit there is no guile.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
my guilt I covered not.
I said, “I confess my faults to the LORD,”
and you took away the guilt of my sin.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you just;
exult, all you upright of heart.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.
Alleluia, Psalm 33:22
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us;
who have put our hope in you.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
May we give thanks for God’s Divine Provision. God won’t turn his children away. Wherever we go to worship the Holy of Holies, God will meet us there.
White is a symbol of Purity. We can dress the altar in white to remember the Purity of our own Intention. God created us to be different so he could witness the unlimited number of ways we reach to know him.
The Elders say we can change our life through 4 days of sacred ceremony. The first day of Movement is 3 Wisdom/CIB – the means to manifest our highest state of consciousness. 4 Days after we reach 7 Sun/AHAU. The Lord completes the end of Divine Unity.

PRAYERS FROM THE THIRD WATCH
May we remember those suffering through the cold of winter. May we call on the Lord to be with them through the darkness… and Give Thanks – he answers before we say Amen.
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. The Bible refers to Watchers from Above (‘iyr in Hebrew) in Daniel 4:13, 17, 23. We’re called by high-ranking angelic beings sent from heaven to observe and execute divine decrees. “Behold, he that keepeth our Soul shall neither slumber nor sleep.”
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
Eighth Watch: 3 pm – 6 pm – This is the eight and final watch of the night and a time for prayer for revival and renewal. Symbolically, Christ died at 3 pm.
THE TRECENA OF JAGUAR/IX: A JOURNEY IN THE LIGHT
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.

1 Jaguar/IX is the 2nd trecena in the 1st uinal of the Tzolk’in round, found in Volume 1.
When you feel lost, go back to Day One. Tone 1 of each trecena is the Light of God’s Divine Inspiration for 13 Days. God establishes the Divine Order for Time.
1 Jaguar/IX (Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI) – Day 1 of 13 of the Jaguar/IX trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator 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.
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 Nature.
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 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.
Look for the Signs of Spirit and keep a journal. You may think you’ll remember every detail. Though in humility, it’s best to remember our greatest limitation is that we forget.
