NAMES AND MEANINGS OF THE 20 LORDS OF TIME

Often-used resources on the Internet disappeared a couple of years ago. The project to recreate a version of my own has been on the workbench.

When Day Sign question came up, I saw Earth/CABAN, the leader of this trecena, as the perfect place to start. After making the choice, I remembered.

Mother Earth is the source of everything that Human Beings learn about life. Earth is the “legend” of an all-around experience of Life on course. Earth is where we begin from the pieces at hand that I can pull together.

The Names, Regions, Aspects, Meaning and Purpose of Earth/CABAN

Earth, Caban/Kaban (kuh ‘bahn), Northern/Contemporary, Yucatec
N’oj (N’oh), Classic, Southern, K’iche/Q’uiche (kee-chee)
Ollin (ahl in), Classic, Western, Aztec

Three traditions shared the same gods, known by the Names of their own language. The pronunciations are offer in English. I practiced one phrase of greeting in the language of the K’iche Maya before going to the Yucatan. My few words only drew blank stares. Their language is produced with the back of the throat.

My hunch is that the North adopted the Yucatek’s calendar first from a local culture that knew some Spanish, a Common Language.

All these different versions of the same story can be confusing when you find different answers for the same and different things. You have to pick one, and gather what you WILL recognize from the other two.

And, it’s always best to assume an error somewhere in calculation. There will always be a higher truth.

THE TRECENA OF EARTH/CABAN: A MIGRATION OF SPIRIT

The next 13 days…

Greetings Kin,

Earth/CABAN takes us on the “ride of our  life.” Her movement manifests an order of Time with Meaning and Purpose. Humans have to have a beginning and an end to See the Change to Acknowledge the Truth within.

Life depends on the Seed to take in the nourishment given. Human’s Seed has to make a  Choice for everything. Even the body’s hunger waits for a human choice.

Love is the reason our own Happiness is hard to choose. Caring “what someone else will thinks” IS part of our Divine Design. It takes a relationship between 2 to know Love. EVERY Seed is given its own Life free of Karma.

It’s time to look beyond “potential” to the steps we’ll actually take toward the end. Knowing Our Self was the Answer to our Prayer. We can say “no” to what we don’t want. We don’t have to go along. We nourish the Life of Who We Are by saying “yes” to what we Love. Born with no obligation, those born Seed often Choose Freedom for the Whole, as caretakers of the disadvantaged.

The next 13 days…

Earth/CABAN holds the Power of an Earthquake to shake us into the “time of our life.” You can’t run from an Earthquake. You find a place to hang on. CABAN is the clarion call to make a run for our Life, standing as Who We Are.

A CYCLE OF LIGHT
“Light” defines a cycle of Divine Inspiration. In the darkness of Seed/KAN we saw the offerings of Life, and how it Feels on the way to Becoming. Now it’s Time for the Dream the way it was conceived from Above. Our Divine Inspiration will be a Clarion Call to “Seize the Day to Live.” We can reach for something higher by employing Mother Earth’s Time. She holds all the cycles of Time and we can choose the Time that fits the creation.

THE 8TH & 9TH UINAL
8 is the Number of “pure spirit” holding the Intention of Divine Justice. In the 8th uinal is the Higher Octave that rings the Truth of the One Below. In the 8th uinal, we are raised to Know our Divine Justice by what we Love. When it’s tied to the Truth of a Promise, we Know what our Divine Justice will be. 4 Sun/AHAU is the Destiny Kin of Humanity, the Mayan Birthday we share. 4 Sun/AHAU completes the Consciousness of Life in Balance. The 9th uinal reveals the Creation that will be “finished” by the One Above. In the 9th uinal the fruit of our Spirit is set on the vine. We stand back to see the Big Picture.

GLOBAL BURNER: 4 Sun/AHAU
Global Burner days mark a release of residual energy. There are 4 Global Burners, one at the center of each season. The Mayan priest carries out the Sacred Fire Ceremony on behalf of the whole to restore Right Relation. There can be some stress on the days that lead up to it. A load can be lifted off our mind, like it never mattered.

Earth/CABAN is the Call to our Heart’s Migration to Love. Every living things was given its own Time to Know, “It’s Time.” The Time for the freedom to express the  Love within is the Time that Human is always waiting to Know. In the darkness, the Seed prepared us to Know.

THE TRECENA OF EARTH/CABAN: A MIGRATION OF SPIRIT

The next 13 days…

Greetings Kin,

Earth/CABAN is the Day Sign of Mother Earth, symbolizing the Movement that Creates Time. Every thing known to Human was learned from Mother Earth. Time shares the Truth through the Wisdom of our own Experience.

We are children of Mother Earth. Made of her flesh we are One with the Whole Creation. The Movement of Mother Earth creates a story with a beginning and an end.  The seasons of Life illustrate that ALL Time has a Divine Meaning and Purpose.

Ascending as the Seed, the karma of a past life is swept away. Holding the Wisdom of Love and Forgiveness, we hold the Key to the Kingdom. A new door opens for a brand new Life to Be.

The Cherokee Day Sign is the Heron, a bird of perpetual migration. The Heron is always on its way to the next field where Life can be multiplied to abundance. So is the Heron a symbol of the Phoenix that rises from its own ashes to Live Again.

Holding the Element of Fire, CABAN wields the Power of Transmutation to change us from one form to another. CABAN is the Sign of a mover and a shaker, and the clarion call for the Great Migration.

CYCLE OF LIGHT
CABAN offers the Light of Divine Inspiration. CABAN inspires Movement for a Divine Meaning and Purpose. CABAN offers a Sense of Direction. CABAN knows the direction to our Dream, and Now is the Time to Follow it with all our heart. CABAN will inspire our Passion for a Leap of Faith.

4 SUN/AHAU: Global Burner Day
4 AHAU marks the birth of Humanity, the day the Light of Human Consciousness was born on Earth. Global Burners serve a purpose of releasing residual energy of the past. We shed an old life to begin the new. 4 Sun/AHAU will burn away an old identity to forge the new. 4 Sun/AHAU offers Stability through a Higher Revelation of Truth.

8th & 9TH UINAL:  4 Sun/AHAU will complete the 8th uinal of Divine Justice. Our Common Dream is the Freedom to Be and Create the Life our Heart Desires. 5 Crocodile/IMIX begins the 9th uinal, holding the Intention to see the Bigger Picture. We will be Moved by a Divine meaning and Purpose, believing the Life we Love is Divinely Meant to Be, and Will Be, by the Divine Will of the Creator. The 9th uinal fulfills the Law of Cause and Effect. A Choice to Move for Love can only lead us to a Life of Beauty.

PEAK DAYS: Peak Experience, Peak Performance
The Peak Tones of the trecena are the best days for personal performance. These are days when we feel confident in our intentions and communication with others.

• 6 Wind/IK – Spiritual Growth will be inspired by the Breath of Spirit
• 7 Night/AKBAL – An Inner Voice of Spirit will Balance the Above and the Below
• 8 Seed/KAN – The Holy Day of the trecena will Fire the new Seed of our Self
• 9 Serpent/CHICCHAN – Our Spiritual Gifts of Knowing are ignited

The Aztec Day Sign is the Ollin, which simply means Movement. The Ollin lies at the center of the stone calendar, marking 20 Times and Places of Divine Knowing. Seed/KAN shared the Truth of how we started out to be, without any debts from the past. Earth/CABAN will guide us to see what we are becoming. We are the Living and now it’s OUR Time to Move, and to Move with all our heart.

THE TRECENA OF EARTH/CABAN

The next 13 days…

Greetings Kin,

Earth/CABAN is the Day Sign of Mother Earth, symbolizing the Movement that Creates Time. Human is born of Earth, sharing a Life of Movement that defines our Meaning of Time. Every thing known to Human was learned from Mother Earth. Her perpetual movement creates the Time of our Life.

CABAN creates a story with a beginning and end. CABAN adds the element of Time to our Divine Discernment. CABAN helps us see seasons of Life and the evidence that each cycle of Time has a life all its own.

The Cherokee Day Sign is the Heron, a bird of perpetual migration. The Heron’s way of Life is to always move toward the next field of Abundance. It isn’t looking for the final resting place. The Heron is a symbol of the Phoenix who rises from the ashes of its past to Live Again.

CABAN is the Sign to Move from an old life into the New. Through the Experience of Creation we were given the Keys to the Divine Kingdom. Our past is now a buried treasure meant to “rest in peace.” We would only waste time “crying over spilled milk.” The past doesn’t define our future. Our Karma was cleared to begin with a clean slate. Through the Key of Forgiveness the Whole will share the blessing.

CYCLE OF LIGHT
CABAN offers the Light of Divine Inspiration. CABAN’s Meaning and Purpose is Movement. For a new life to begin we have to move in to the Truth of our New Reality. CABAN offers the truth of our Heart’s Desire and the direction where it lies in our future. Every life that was given an intention of Migration senses an Unseen Place to go, and a Time to go. CABAN offers the Divine Inspiration that it’s Time to Go and to Move with all our Heart. CABAN will inspire the Leap of Faith toward the field of our Dreams. We will know what it Feels like, where we want to be.

4 SUN/AHAU: Global Burner Day
Burner Days mark an Energetic Release. The Fires of chaos and change have been burning within. The Elders call it the contractions of Life. The illusions of an old life are bearing down on us with an Intention to set us free. On the Global Burner day the residue of past experience is burned away.

4 AHAU is a Day of Prophecy and the Beginning of Human’s Destiny. 4 AHAU is Humanity’s Destiny Kin, the birthday of Human Life on Earth. 4 AHAU is the beginning date for all prophecies of Human Time. 4 AHAU marked December 21, 2012, the ending and new beginning of a Human era of Time. Every encounter with the Sun holds an experience of Revelation. On February 5, 4 Sun/AHAU marks a revelation of a new era of our Human Life. We will Realize the Power of a New Beginning. Under the Number 4 of Stability, we will establish new pillars of faith for a new life to rise above the ashes.

9TH UINAL:  4 Sun/AHAU will complete the 8th uinal of Divine Justice. Our Common Dream is the Freedom to Live and Be, and to Create what our Heart Desires. We are set Free to live a New Life by Forgiveness. God opened the door so we could see beyond the veil into the Light of our Future. With Wisdom we will employ the Patience to See the Big Picture. Survival was never a “dream” but the human burden of “life or death.” We’ve chosen a Life of Faith over Fear. Earth/CABAN holds the Knowledge for Wise Choices led by the Desires of our Heart. The 9th uinal fulfills the Law of Cause and Effect. Choices for Love will be proven by a Divine Effect. Believing in Love, Love is what we will expect, and what we will find. Love will blossom to Create the Beauty of Heaven on Earth.

The Seed for a New Life is planted on Mother Earth. The Divine work begins to tend the garden of our Dreams. What happens in a Garden is wrought by a Divine Hand. Human’s work is to serve the Seed what it needs to grow. The Harvest will be manifested by the Divine Will of God. God will tend to the Source of Life, Light, and Happiness.

The Earth/CABAN trecena offers Time to see what we are becoming. Through the Element of Fire, CABAN will share a Passion for Life. We are beginning a migration to a new reality. Like all creatures given a journey, written within the Divine Design is the Way. The Timing is a Divine Inspiration. It’s a Divine Passion set off by the senses and cellular memories of Time and the Season. The Wildebeests know when it’s Time. Earth/CABAN signals that it’s OUR Time to Move, and to Move with all our heart.

Greetings Kin,

This Sign appeared while I was stacked up in Seattle traffic on the way to my class.

It was overcast and rainy and early accidents had the drive down to stops and starts. I wasn’t afraid of driving, but if I’d ever get there. I was deciding it didn’t matter when I looked up and saw what the Raccoon was saying, right in front of me.

A trickster Raccoon Mother had to nose in here to coax a smile.

love, in lak’ech, Debra

THE TRECENA OF EARTH/CABAN

The next 13 days…

Greetings Kin,

We were given the Divine Thoughts to imagine everything we were meant To Be. Our Ascension from the Seed/KAN trecena was the application of what Monkey/CHUEN inspired us to do. We were weaving the Tapestry of our Own Divine Symbols from the Wisdom of the Experience.

A new Fire burns for a Divine Manifestation. Earth/CABAN is a Day Sign of Fire and Light. Residing in the East, our eyes are turned to a Sunrise that will Illuminate all the Beauty of Mother Earth. It will be the Sun that Rises for that very Divine Meaning and Purpose.

On a journey with Earth/CABAN we’ll be Inspired to see The Creation. Through Mother Earth we’ll see what we’re made of.

Earth/CABAN is known as N’oj in the K’iche tradition. Mother Earth is the source of all Human knowledge. N’oj illustrates how Knowledge is conceived. The N’oj glyph emphasizes 3 different things. Each looks very much like the sperm. Each one symbolizes the different conceptions of Human knowledge… ways of Consciousness. We conceive thoughts through the Human mind, the imagination, and the Inspiration of Divine Spirit. A symbol is understood through the eye of the beholder. Through Divine thoughts, we command the Conscious and the Unconscious Mind for Creation. Mother Earth is the symbol of the Egg where the Circle of Life and the Whole of all our Consciousness would be born.

CABAN is about Movement that Creates Time. We create all the Times of our Life through movement and communication. Through our Movement we will “See what we are Becoming” and the “Gift OUR Seed” brings to the world. The Aztec description associated with the Ollin (all-in) symbol at the center of their calendar, marks a journey with CABAN as the Time and Place where we See our New Self. Ollin means simply, Movement. The Symbols of Earth/CABAN, N’OJ, and OLLIN will inspire us to Move into the world With All Our Heart. A journey of Spirit will be the Offering at our Ascension – 13 Offering/MULUC.

4 SUN/AHAU: Global Burner Day
Burner Days mark an Energetic Release. The Mayan priest carry out the Sacred Fire Ceremonies for the Community. The CHICCHAN of our Love has been Divinely backed into its corner for a New Release of Passionate Love. There is one Global Burner in each Season of the Tzolk’in. This a Global Burner with many Signs and Symbols. The Full Moon the Day Before also forecasts a day of Release, and given a Name of Beauty, “the Full Flower Moon.” A Dream of our Spirit can be seen as something with dimension on Tone 4 that stabilizes like the cube. We will see the Flowers that our Seed will create. 4 Sun/AHAU is Humanity’s Mayan birthday, the Destiny Named for the day Human Consciousness is delivered on Earth.

9TH UINAL: On 5 Crocodile/IMIX we enter the 9th uinal. Nine is all about completing new knowledge by remembering the Patience to look from a broader perspective. From a Divine Perspective we can complete a Truth for the Whole. Crocodile/IMIX is the Primordial Mother at the Beginning of all things. In the 9th uinal she will start us out with an Empowerment (5) of Divine Thought. The 9th uinal completes the buds on the tree that prove to Human eyes that in the Season of Harvest, we will produce the Fruit of our Spirit.

THE ENDING PLANNED FROM THE BEGINNING:
On 13 Offering/MULUC we will Ascend through an Atonement of Divine Consciousness. Following a journey to a Divine Vision of Mother Earth, we’ll receive the Passion to Jump in and Save all she was meant to be. Our Ascension will prepare us for a Journey as the Dog… the Symbol of Unconditional Love that every Human sees.

The Cherokee Day Sign is the Heron, the nuhaul of perpetual migration. They are symbols of the Phoenix that rises from the ashes of its past. One of the phenomenons of their migration is the “Sandhill Crane Migration” in Nebraska. Somehow, 500,000 cranes coming from different places all over the globe, end up at the same Time and Place. In our Finest Hour we will be Alone on a journey. Where we end up we will Know we were DIVINELY gathered back into ONE.

THE TRECENA OF EARTH/CABAN

The next 13 days…

Greetings Kin,

We begin a new journey of Incoming Light under the Day Sign Earth/CABAN. We are led to discover our relationship with Mother Earth.

We Dreamed of the world we would create in Spirit. Earth/CABAN can teach us everything our Seed will need to Know in the realm of physicality. Earth/CABAN is a symbol of Movement that creates Time to separate one experience from another, a Beginning to an End.

Mother Earth has something to share with the new Seed we’ve created. Earth/CABAN engages our Momentum of Movement. Our Seed will be Impassioned by its Purpose and Inner Strength to grow to its own maturity.

Earth/CABAN can inspire us to Believe in a Spiritual Manifestation that Human can claim through all our Senses, Uniting the Above and Below in a Correspondent Movement. CABAN is a symbol of a Divine Source of Knowledge. The Seed that will be born into darkness, will Know it is surrounded by everything it needs, and will Know its way to the Light.

4 SUN/AHAU: Global Burner Day
The Mayan priest observes the Global Burner Days with Sacred Fire Ceremonies for the Community. There is one Global Burner in each Season of the Tzolk’in, marked for the purpose of burning off residual energies. Days leading up to a Global Burner Day, you might experience the energy  as “overwhelm” or stress. Or you might notice less tolerance in your relationships. 4 Sun/AHAU, Kin 160, is observed as the day Humans were created. The prophecy of December 21, 2012 was associated with its Kin, 4 Sun/AHAU, as an ending and new beginning for all of Humanity. 4 AHAU completes the 8th uinal of Divine Justice.

9TH UINAL: On 5 Crocodile/IMIX we enter the 9th uinal that completes our harvest cycle of Transformation. Through an Intention of Patience, Number 9 offers a Higher Perspective of Truth. The 9th uinal represents the budding of the flowers that will create the seed of a new generation of Spirit.

PORTAL DAYS: The Earth/CABAN trecena includes 2 Portal Days that will thin the veil to other dimensions. A Portal will Magnify the Powerful Energy of 9 Serpent/CHICCHAN on Tone 9 of the 9th uinal, offering the Peak Energy of “Lightning in the Blood.” A second Portal will magnify an Understanding and Truth of our own Light on 12 Star/LAMAT.

PEAK DAYS/PEAK EXPERIENCES:

• 6 Wind/IK – Spiritual Growth will be inspired by the Breath of Spirit
• 7 Night/AKBAL – An Inner Voice of Spirit will Balance the Above and the Below
• 8 Seed/KAN – The Holy Day of the trecena will Fire the new Seed of our Self
• 9 Serpent/CHICCHAN – Our Spiritual Gifts of Knowing are ignited
