Yod: The Hand of God

Vital energy, the moving force, the instinct and desire for creativity, the trigger that sets off the action — lights the fuse that magnifies and explodes the life force itself. Knowledge, combining science, technology and psychology, plus spirituality are seeded on the planet.

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Serpent/CHICCHAN represents the Central Organizing Force of Creation, the Source of Light. Position 5 marks the center of the cube of the 4 corners of Earth. 5, the measure of a Hand,  is the symbol of Empowerment for Change. Combined with Tone 12, the Intention is the Understanding to know what it means. 5 is the Measure of our Grasp.

We are empowered by the Creator to Clearly See and Feel the Truth. The Serpent represents the Power of Enlightenment, the Spirit’s Vision of our “mind’s eye” – and the physical sense to Feel the Truth. The “Day After” Valentine’s Day offers the Effect of a Creator’s Love.

When our Heart and Mind are aligned in the Truth, we realize we already Know the Answer to our Prayers. The Visionary experience is Light revealed like a Memory. Like a memory, we can clearly see and explore the Truth from the Wisdom of our own experiece.

We don’t know anything, yet, by the touch of the Creator’s Hand, we can know what God knows we’ve seen. We just never thought about it before. We saw it, but discerned that the Truth was not relevant to our own experience. Like Spring, we clearly see that’s the Time for Life to rise again and grow to abundance. We saw it apply to everything else. The Meaning of Time applies to everything on Earth.

The Seed knows. When we tried to grow in the Winter, we were met with one physical obstacle after another. We are Empowered when we Hold the Power for the Time prepared for us by the Supreme Lord of The Creation.

Serpent/CHICCHAN represents the Force of a Revelation of the Truth and the Wisdom to see we can understand more than we imagine. It may seem fruitless to Dream about the future. Though, God saw a Creation in progress that needed Time to see clearly. CHICCHAN is a symbol of the Yod, the Finger of God that ignites the Seed for the “fate that shall be”.

How much thought have you invested in seeing by Faith? Now we see that Faith led us through the Season of Darkness. 12 Serpent/CHICCHAN is the Day we break ground into the Light of a New Day, the First Day of a New Life in the Sun/Son. Through the Gift of the Holy Spirit, CHICCHAN is the Feeling that is synchronized by Time as the Truth – the Maya call “lightning in the blood.”

We’ve felt it before. We often feel it as “fight or flight” – and we do clearly recognize those gut feelings. Though, we fail to see the Beauty of the fleeting moments when the Light grasps our Heart and brings tears to our eyes when we see the Bride walk down the aisle. The Light can grasp our Heart everyday, when we Feel the Truth of the Father’s Love.

We know by our own experience that “Love” is meant to grasp our Heart. And, we know how rare the experience can be in our search for the “one-in-million” that was meant to be. The Feeling is the reason we long for Love. Even when we haven’t found “the one” we know how it feels. We hold the memories of God’s Love.

We don’t need another Human Being to Know Love. When we Know Love, we are Prepared to Give Back and Pay Forward. We’ll climb every mountain to express the Truth that “Ours is forever Love.” All our attention is turned to the Beauty and Light of Love. Love is the Effect of Enlightenment. The clouds part and we realize We Can, and God is the Light that will show the way.

CHICCHAN ignites the Fire of Creation. When we love, Light consumes our thoughts and our heart overflows. We can’t help but want to express the Truth. When Love is our New Reality, the Beauty of the Light shines on everything we see.

The tradition is to Light the Fire to See and Acknowledge the presence of the Lord. Look to See the Light and everything that Fire and Light means to Everyday Life. The Elements of Nature are gifts from God. When do we give thanks for it? When do we give thanks for the God’s Time?

Synchronicity with the Christian Calendar

One Vision Quest prepared us for another.  Waiting in Silence prepared us with the Patience to wait some more.

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 marks the beginning of the 40 Days of Lent. Ash Wednesday is symbolic of the world burned away from the center of our life, burned away by the Fire of the Holy Spirit. We’re prepared to rise from the ashes.

This is a special Lenten Season, led by the first Pope to speak the English language, identifiable as “one of our kind” by a nation that thinks “English is the best” and “only sign of Human intelligence”. (Personal perspective.)

Pope Leo XIV offered a 3-Point Order as the Pillars for Lent to Unite us as One. 

1. Listening
2. Fasting our words
3. Doing it together as One

Vatican Press: Pope Leo XIV Message for Lent 2026, 13.02.2026
“Listening and Fasting: Lent as a Time of Conversion”

YouTube Overview and Commentary

The Invisible Path of Lent is a solemn quest of Spirit. The path that follows the Jaguar’s Vision Quest begins on 1 Deer/MANIK. MANIK is the Mission for our Life, a Hand wholly dedicated in the Service of Love. MANIK is the path of the Mayan Priest, who Counts every Day Sacred and Lights the Candles, observes Holy Days, and carries out the Sacred Offerings and Prayers on behalf of the whole.

This Lent, we’re called to walk the invisible path together. We hold the Power to Choose Divine Trinity.

The Lunar Year of the Snake was a process of shedding old skin so we can expand and grow. God’s Time for us falls in Divine Order. The synchronicity between the Human calendar and the Earth’s calendar is perfectly aligned with the Christian Meaning of Time.

Our perspective can be changed by Truth we already know. 5 is the symbol of Empowerment. At the center of a 5 equal sided platonic solid, is a Star and the Light of Life, if you look at it from the “right angle”.

Dodecahedron Stellations – Expanding 5’s

A “stellation” is the length to which a solid form can expand, based on its own geometry. The dodecahedron is the platonic solid form (3D) as 5 equal sides with 12 faces. The 12 faces are the only means to expand in equal directions – the 1st stellation. The only way to expand within the existing space (a sphere) is through Motion that takes up 100% of the space.

Illustration: The fundamental geometry, the first stellation, and the expansion of space through movement.

We know more than we apply to every Human discernment. We are changed by the Light of Knowing the Unknown lies within us. When we see how clearly we already know, the Truth can only be that God opens our eyes to See.

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 the Sun and Moon are aligned for a “Ring of Fire” Solar Eclipse. Eclipses mark the end of a cycle of Solar Light, and a new beginning of Enlightenment.

On February 28, 2026, a six-planet alignment, often called a planetary parade, will occur in the evening sky shortly after sunset. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, line up along the ecliptic from Earth’s perspective. 7 Planets (including Earth) will receive the Light of the Sun at the same time. The event heralds the 3rd Month of Divine Trinity.

By Mayan Time, February 28, 2026 is 11 Earth/CABAN – an 11 Wakeup Call and Code of Activation. CABAN represents Forces of Nature as the Clarion Call of every Great Migration, marked by the Planetary Parade. 

We found our greatest strength in the Silent Place. We learned the Truth will speak for itself when it’s Time to Know.

Our Creation is not a static object to imagine a make and model. The experience is the Dream. Where would we go and how will we celebrate when we are handed the keys? Who will we thank when we cross the threshold?

From the Christian Calendar, Before:

Reading II, Ephesians 1:17-23

Brothers and sisters:
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation
resulting in knowledge of him.
May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened,
that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call,
what are the riches of glory
in his inheritance among the holy ones,
and what is the surpassing greatness of his power
for us who believe,
in accord with the exercise of his great might:
which he worked in Christ,
raising him from the dead
and seating him at his right hand in the heavens,
far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion,
and every name that is named
not only in this age but also in the one to come.
And he put all things beneath his feet
and gave him as head over all things to the church,
which is his body,
the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.

We Ascend on 13 Transformer/CIMI – by the Light of the Holy Spirit. A “Ring of Fire” is synchronicized with a Sign of Major Life Change (CIMI). We’re offered a perspective we haven’t seen before.

12 Serpent/CHICCHAN (Cherokee, Serpent/DO’TSI)  – Day 12 of 13 of the 1 Jaguar/IX trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 12: Understanding. This number’s energy is a gift of great capability of retrospection. It is this ability that allows Twelve to connect disassociated parts into a (new) functioning whole. The energy of Twelve is that which presents a new piece of understood information or accumulated experience to be applied.

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.

A GOOD DAY TO: Ask for flexibility and fluidity.

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.

The constellation Serpens, the snake, represents the mythological serpent who revealed the secret of resurrecting the dead to the great healer, Asclepius, and was responsible for him becoming the god of medicine, and being immortalized among the stars as the constellation Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer.
