The Place We Belong
Home is a Sanctuary where we have a seat at the table and the right to express who we are without shame or judgement. It’s impossible for Human, but always possible to be Home with the Lord. There’s always Peace when Prayer is the Answer to everything. God promised an Eternal Life of Joy everlasting.
Luke shares the story of the Prodigal Son who asked for his inheritance early, then lost it all to the world and ended up eating husks, same as they fed the pigs. He thought, even his father’s servants lived better than this.
Luke 15:11-32 KJV
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Returning to a worldly home, everybody remembers. The Lord forgets and there is no shame in a home where everyone understands. We could find humor in the way we all failed, and share the joy of the rescue. It’s impossible for Human, but easy for the God within.
Jeremiah 33:3 KJV
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

THE TRECENA OF OFFERING/MULUC: THE SACRED EXCHANGE
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
5 Reed/BEN, Cherokee, Reed/I’hya, Destiny Kin 213, Position 13
August 23, 2026, 08/23/2026; Times Before: 12/06/2025; Rounds Before: 03/21/2025, 07/04/2024, 10/18/2023
Greetings Beloved Kin,
The Reed is a channel of Divine Communication. Our channel is open when the “flesh is burned away from the bone”. We were given a place to kneel in Humility to receive the Light from Above. The glyph illustrates 2 Channels for the Light of Divine Wisdom to pass through. Below the altar are the prayer matts for 2 to kneel as One. There’s a matt for our self and the “other” who kneels at the same altar within.
5 Reed / BEN
During the 2026 Season of Lent, Pope Leo XIV added a new prayer to the existing tradition. We were called to remember those who are praying with us.
Tone 5 holds the Intention of Empowerment. In the 5th hour of the Day, we gather the tools and resources we need to complete “the work”. The Creator intended for us to know We Can, before we start. The Holy Spirit guides us to follow the way in Faith of God’s Will.
Reed/BEN represents the one that takes on the responsibility of being a leader of a family. We’re reminded that Our Truth matters perfectly in our Time and Place… and the Children’s Truth is perfect in their Time and Place. The children of tomorrow have learned from our failures, and they see everything. Our Truth to share is the promise of Answered Prayers.
Human has to see an Answered Prayer to know it as our own experience. We have to Ask to Know.
Red is the Light that is delivered as the Fire of Spirit. Human eyes don’t have to adjust to see Red. The Answer to our prayer will be Easy to See. When we are engaged by Faith, we’ll See the Truth.
May we pray for the eyes to See and the Ears to hear. May we humble our Self to God’s Way and have Faith in the Lord. We’re prepared to know when we’re willing to face the Truth about our Self. The Lord will reveal himself.
The father of the Prodigal Son came running to his side, even as he far down the road. He knew he was welcomed home before he ever crossed the threshold. We can hold Faith for one another, knowing what God will do. 5 Reed/BEN raises the Truth of an Answered Prayer.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

The Jewish month of Elul: The King is in the Field
Chabad.org Daily Schedule – Prayers and Psalms for Sunday, 10 Elul, 5786, August 23, 2026
Jewish History: Noah Dispatches Raven (2105 BCE)
On the 10th of Elul of the year 1656 from creation (2105 BCE), as the Great Flood neared its end, Noah opened the window of the Ark.
8 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.
Elul Observances
As the last month of the Jewish year, Elul is a time of introspection and stocktaking — a time to review one’s deeds and spiritual progress over the past year and prepare for the upcoming “Days of Awe”.
As the month of Divine Mercy and Forgiveness it is a most opportune time for teshuvah — a “return” to G-d.
PRAYERS FROM THE SECOND 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
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.
Mark 13:33 KJV
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
THE TRECENA OF OFFERING/MULUC: REDEMPTION OF THE CHRIST SPIRIT
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide Page for the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” My gift for the Tzolk’in round offers an overview for each 13-day trecena and the aspects of each day of the Tzolk’in round. The page also offers a link to resources for your own practice of counting the days to conceive your own discernment of the Meaning of Time.
THE SEASON OF ASCENSION: The Offering/MULUC trecena is the 2nd trecena in the 4th Season, found in VOLUME 2: Tzolk’in Seasons 3 and 4 (PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 20, 2020)
The 13-Days of MULUC represent a rescue, and our Salvation as the healing of emotions on a mass scale.
5 Reed/BEN (Cherokee, Reed/I’hya) – Day 5 of 13 of the 1 Offering/MULUC trecena
THE JOURNAL FOR THE OFFERING/MULUC TRECENA IS DEDICATED TO IAN XEL LUNGOLD, 12 SUN/AHAU.
Ian Xel Lungold, 12 Sun/AHAU. Ian was a “prodigal son”. His last prayer was to serve from the otherside, as one among the Legion of Light.
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 5: Empowerment. At the center of the cube we find Five. Five is an intelligent, organizing force which manages communications and materials, knowledge and application. Fives are natural networkers who gather what is needed. These persons can probe directly to the core of any situation making them excellent investigators.
Reed/BEN: Reed persons are the spiritual essence, protectors and guiding light for family and home. They are competent speakers who will take up a cause. Very tough and analytical, Reeds endeaver to bring peace, harmony, and order to all of their relations. Reeds are blessed with great skill at negotiations and consoling which are very often put to the test. Although Reeds need a log of appreciation, many have a marriage or business problems because of inflexible views and high expectations, which erode affinity. The lesson of Reed is to be like a garden hose, not a steel pipe.
A GOOD DAY TO: Bless and repair the home.
Cherokee, Reed I’hya: Symbol-Reed is the Earth, reflection of the Star Chaga of Pollux. Reed made up the Magician Twins who led the journey to bring back to life the daughter of the Sun. The Casket is Gemini. Energy for Intellectual minds, creation, re-creation, new directions, breaking the ties that bind. A trailblazer and leader. From the East, direction of success and happiness, no matter what route is taken, always ending up in the Light.
