The Eternal Flame

John 1:9 NIV
9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

In ancient times the Vestal Virgins tended the Eternal Flame from which everyone drew the Fire that would be carried home. Lord Jesus, the Only Son of God is the Eternal Flame from which the whole draws the Light of Salvation and Everlasting Life.

THE TRECENA OF WISDOM/CIB: AN ILLUMINATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
8 Night/AKBAL, (Cherokee, HEARTH/O’YA), Destiny Kin 203, Position 3
August 13, 2026, 08/13/2026; Times Before: 11/26/2025, 03/11/2025, 06/24/2024, 10/08/2023

Greetings Beloved Kin,

As one door closes another opens. AKBAL is the Creator’s Dream. If we are willing to enter the darkness we’ll See the Light. We shall become the Dreamers who believe in the Dream. AKBAL represents the Light Beyond the Veil.

THE HOLY DAY OF EVERY TRECENA

Tone 8 is the Holy Day that represents the Zenith Hour of Light. In the Zenith Hour the Sun’s Light shines directly on our Crown. The Intention of Tone 8 is Divine Justice. The Divine Justice for Faith is Knowing the end.

There is no public festival to mark this Holy Day. It’s a Collective celebration that takes place in the Sanctuary within.

AKBAL can begin as a Dark Night of the Soul. We are called to willingly enter the Darkness for the Light of the Creator’s Divine Inspiration. We are drawn to Faith by the Dreamer that Believes in the Dream.

The message shared by John the Baptist, and Elijah who came before, was to “Believe because I believe and my heart Knows the Truth.”  The Apostles shared the Truth they knew as a first-hand witness. When someone else shares the Light of their Faith our hearts are opened to follow. We shared our common grief. Now it’s Time to celebrate our Faith as One.

This is a Day to share our feelings with the Creator, heart to heart. Before the day is through, we’ll believe in a Dream that is meant to come true. This is just the beginning. It’s not too late, and we will Know we’re never alone. We’re joined in Faith by every Living Soul who has believed before.

Hebrews 12:1 NIV
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

Night/Akbal: Bringers of the Dawn. Dreamers who bring the new sun to clarify and illuminate the road of life. Thus the insecurities and doubts born of darkness of the sub-conscious mind are dispelled. Portals open to other worlds and dimensions for your learning and spiritual growth. Magical abilities are possible.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

In Hebrew year 5786, the month of Elul began at sundown on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Elul is the month when the “King is in the field”. He is always with us. Those who seek him shall find him there. The Shofar is blown at the beginning as the Sound of God’s Voice. The month of Elul leads to the Holiest Days of the Year on the Hebrew Calendar.

PRAYERS FROM THE SECOND WATCH: INTERCESSORY PRAYER ON BEHALF OF THE WHOLE

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.

Take note of the Time when you are inspired to turn to the Lord.

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
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.

8 Night/AKBAL (Cherokee, HEARTH/O’YA) – Day 8 of 13 of the 1 Wisdom/CIB trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and FREE 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”.

Night/Akbal: Bringers of the Dawn. Dreamers who bring the new sun to clarify and illuminate the road of life. Thus the insecurities and doubts born of darkness of the sub-conscious mind are dispelled. These persons travel the Void. a place where nothing yet exists but all potential dwells, the womb of creation. From this void, Night persons bring forth new solutions and artistic inspiration. Night’s voyages of dreams build confidence and happiness with a sense of well being. If night does not bravely journey into the void they may find themselves wandering the darkness of self doubt and insecurity.

A GOOD TIME TO: Spend some time contemplating the stars.

Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA: Hearth’s symbol is the fire pit in the Center, velvet black as the night. The triangle in Orion. The M42 nebula (home of the Central race from the WingMakers) in the center of the triangle of Orion is the fire in the Hearth, also matching the Mayan. The Hearth is the Torchbearer who holds the light and warmth throughout the night. Belief is so strong that the surrounding elements become entrained to their rhythm and all resistance falls away. With respect and honor of intuition combined with knowledge this energy creates the magic of the center in this dimension. AKBAL-Night-Totem-OWL: Guardian of the Night Sun. Energies for the opening of mystic secrets, seeing through the masks of deception, trickery. High ability of discernment. Portals open to other worlds and dimensions for your learning and spiritual growth. Magical abilities are possible.
