Greetings Beloved Kin,

1 Earth / CABAN

Earth/CABAN is the Clarion Call for all great migrations on Earth. The real journey begins when we Know who we are, what we want, and we invest our Self in the Dream that was written in our Heart.

A CYCLE OF LIGHT
Earth/CABAN guides our way by the Light of Divine Inspiration. The Elders say that Mother Earth was the first and enduring gift that was the Offering of the Creator to live in a living world. She was prepared for us as our Divine Place to Be, and through her Perpetual Movement she creates the Time of our Life. Everything Human knows we learn from her.

The  Aztec Day sign is Ollin, which simply means Movement. Ollin is said to mark the time when we realize who we are becoming, and all we’ve Dreamed we could be.

Day Ollin (Movement, known as Caban in Maya) is governed by Xolotl as its provider of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. This is an auspicious day for the active principle, a bad day for the passive principle. Ollin is a day of the purified heart, signifying those moments where human beings may perceive what they are becoming. A good day for transmutation, which arrives like an earthquake that leaves in its wake the ruins of rationality, order and the preconceived.

The thirteen day period (trecena) that starts with day 1-Ollin (Movement) is ruled by Tlazolteotl. This trecena is governed by the goddess of cotton and weaving, of sexuality and childbirth, she who is the eater of sins: it is the sign of the Scavenger, who feeds not on power but on the ills that darken the heart. The rainbow serpent, symbol of pleasure and folly, levitates amidst a shroud of smoke and shadow: these are 13 days of stolen secrets and odd twists of fate. The earth itself shakes: the ills created by shock can sometimes only be cured by greater shock. These are good days for self-purification; bad days for self-gratification. Aztec Calendar

The Beauty of Life in ALL Directions

Greetings Beloved Kin,

The 3rd Season completes the Fibinacci sequence of Knowing the Truth – if we held the courage to apply the Truth we knew at the beginning, and the Truth we learned from the Past, we can see the Choice that leads to the Highest End of Love for tomorrow. Completing the Wisdom and Truth of Divine Love, our Heart FEELS the possibility and Truth of Life that will be born to Abundance.

The Elders say that Mother Earth was the Creators first and most enduring offering of Love – Life in a LIVING world. Everything we know we learned from the Truth of Mother Earth – from the micro to the macro. She inspires every thought that begins from the Perception of her Beauty. Caban is the nourishment of Love for the end of our Greatest Promise of Love – one that knows exactly how we feel, and completes the Sacred Exchange – always Giving Back, and always returning the chaos of life back to the Beauty that will always be from the Beginning to the End.

It’s our Sacred Choice to follow now, holding the Truth of a Divine Provision for OUR LIFE – the Gift of Being a Living Witness with the Power to Create the Beauty of Love.

By Divine Design, the power is a Choice that every heart must make to Know the Truth that we are Saved from the Beginning. Every choice we make will lead us back to the Truth of the One who gave Breath to Life.

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.
