A Witness from the Beginning to the End
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. Human’s Destiny is the Witness of Time as Ordered by the Author of our Creation.
May 14, 2026 is celebrated as the Feast of Saint Matthias by the lectionary of the Roman Catholic Church. Matthias was chosen as the “13th apostle” to replace Judas Iscariot. Jesus had hundreds of disciples, but only chose twelve primary apostles. The difference between a disciple and an apostle is that one is a student and the other a sent-messenger appointed to fulfill the prophecy of the Word. Matthias was selected via the casting of lots to restore the number to twelve, ensuring they represented the twelve tribes of Israel. He was selected because he followed Jesus from his baptism to his ascension, meeting the requirements to be a witness to the Resurrection (Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 1).
The Holy Day of Destiny is a celebration for those who choose by Faith to become a witness to the Truth from the beginning to the end.
Each of the 12 were chosen to represent a cross-section of Humanity by their different ways of being. Taking the place of Judas, Matthias became the patron saint of hope and perseverance for those battling worldly addictions.

8 Road / EB (Human)
Greetings Beloved Kin,
Road/EB is also known as Human, marked by the symbol of Humanity in Position 12. The Cherokee Rattlesnake Tooth is a symbol of Healing as the element that was used to break the skin for the application of medicine. It left a mark. The Holy Day of Destiny marks the Time of a collective healing that restores the whole of Humanity. Tone 8 raises the Intention of Divine Justice. The Restoration of our Spirit is exalted in the Zenith Hour of Light.
The glyph illustrates the Road on Human’s head. On either side are the milestones of Truth that restores our Faith to carry on.
Road/EB marks the Time of a milestone experience of the Truth that we witness as One. EB is a cross-road of Truth that offers hope and perseverance, that we might be a first-hand witness of a resurrection of Faith.
Judas was the despised disciple of the ages. He failed to let go of his worldly attachments, through an intention to force Jesus to reveal his divinity, according to his own plan.
Road/EB is a Time to correct our course and to choose God’s Will over our own limited Human understanding. 12 holds the Intention of comprehending the Truth. EB reveals the Highest Truth of God’s Unconditional Love, along with the Truth of God’s Way.
Old habits die hard. We are bound to fail in the process of letting go of the world. The majority of suffering alcoholics are not healed by the first treatment. It takes Time and failure to remember why we chose the path of recovery.
Our Spirit is healed once and for all Time when we claim the Truth of a Savior who gave his life to set us free from sin. It doesn’t always appear to be the Truth, while we still bear the Time it takes to heal. It’s easy to fall back into a rut. God the Father is the Hand that promises a rescue. The Only Way to be counted among the Saints and Apostles is to die, so our Spirit can be born again. The Saints who were martyred in the Name of Christ became Apostles by the witness of their own Resurrection.
EB represents the Divine Order of Time that is written within. We have to be lost to be found. Once is not enough for us to remember for all Time. By order of the tides we rise and fall through the 12 months of the Year. This year completes 13 lunar cycles, marked by the Blue Moon, May 31, 2026… a Time of Remembering marked by Memorial Day.

“Burden of Time” by Debra Malmos
Humanity is Sacred to the Creator as we are made in the image. Human carries the Burden of Time for Faith to be revealed as the Truth. We carry the weight of sin on our shoulders when we take up the Cross. Sun/AHAU is the Name that was shared for Human to become the Light of the world. (4 Sun/AHAU marks Humanity’s birthday, according to the Mayan count, the Day the Human Seed was planted on Earth.) 8 Road/EB is Destiny Kin 112, the 12 below restored to Divinity by the Word of Highest Authority from the One Above.
The Lord will put us back together again in the presence of our enemies. Our Divine Destiny is carried out by the Shepherd of our Soul. The illustration of the “Burden of Time” is carried as the Light beyond the veil, carried by Faith in the Source of Light that reveals the Truth. Our Divine Destiny is written in the Words of the 23rd Psalm.
Psalm 23 KJV
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Jesus was the perfect offering of Love that covers the sins of the whole. We are healed by Faith.
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
May we count it all for Joy for every trial we face that will prove the Truth. Jesus fulfilled the Law and we were given a New Commandment to Love the Lord with all our Heart, and the second, like the first, to love one another as our Self.
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
In the 5th uinal of Empowerment our Faith is Restored so we can carry on to the end. Don’t be afraid. Those who Love the Lord and follow his way. Through our ups and downs, we SHALL be made the first-hand witness of our own Resurrection.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

Hebrews 12:1-2 KJV
12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
PRAYERS FROM THE FIFTH WATCH – PETITIONS. ASK FOR STRENGTH AND SURRENDER.
The next time you’re drawn to Pray, refer to the 8 Watches by the Time of Day, AFTER. The Bible refers to Watchers from Above (‘iyr in Hebrew) in Daniel 4:13, 17, 23. We’re called to our prayers by high-ranking angelic beings sent from heaven to observe and execute divine decrees. You may find synchronicity in the Time when you look, after your prayers.
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 (on behalf of the whole)
- 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.

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.
