2 Crocodile / IMIX – A Revelation of Light: Day 2 of 13

Jan20

THE TRECENA OF SUN/AHAU

2 Crocodile / IMIX

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

Greetings Kin,

Tone 2 represents Duality. We began in Unity as 1. In the womb, we first experienced ourselves as One and All with Everything. Then we heard a Voice expressing thoughts that weren’t our own. We realized there were Two. We Awakened to the Consciousness of our Self, apart from the One.

Tone 2 is the Beginning of our Consciousness of Two, our Self and the One. On Tone 2 we become aware of our own Spark, our own thoughts. Life presented our first Question, “If I am not the One, then Who Am I?”

Each 13-day trecena follows the same path of Awakening. Through a Blessing of Ascension and Higher Consciousness, we begin a New Life that Begins Again from Higher Ground. Our Lives are a never-ending cycle of Re-Creating our Self. Sun/AHAU shared its Identity as a Cauldron of Creation.

IMIX presents the Dawn of a New Awakening. IMIX nourishes us. The glyph illustrates a jar that holds the nourishment from the Mother’s Breast. IMIX ignites our Consciousness and Feeds our Soul.

IMIX Answers the Question, “Who Am I?”
“Anything Your Heart Desires.”

THE 3RD UINAL: MOVEMENT
Each 20-day uinal represents a context of Time and Place in the full harvest cycle of Creation. In the 3rd uinal we emerge as the sprout. One sprout looks like any other. The Movements we Choose by Intention in the world above will Define our Identity. Everything we can Imagine is a Possibility.

1 Sun / AHAU – A Revelation of Light: Day 1 of 13

Jan19

THE TRECENA OF SUN/AHAU

1 Sun / AHAU

Greetings Kin,

The Next 13-Days…

Sun/AHAU is the Lord of the Tzolk’in, and the Supreme Lord of Creation. AHAU is the Light of Illumination, the Source of Life, Light and Happiness.

Life is trained to the Sun, to Live and Create in the Light. When Sun appears we can expect a Revelation, an Enlightenment, or an Epiphany.

AHAU is a Day of “Darkness.” Yellow and White Day Signs are “Dark” marking a day or cycle for the Application of Wisdom. Humans are binary creatures who comprehend by learning and doing. Deer/MANIK was a cycle of “Light,” incoming Inspiration that inspired a Meaning and Purpose for Living. Human’s Divine Mission was guided by Deer, the Mayan priest, who serves the Whole through Vigilant Consciousness, leading by example in the Humility of Love.

The Deer inspired us to be a Living Sacrifice, to bear the suffering of injustice for a Divine Reason. Creating Love as our Offering, we would always be Atoned – At One in the Creator’s Love. Deer offered the Wisdom of Inspiration. Sun/AHAU will guide the Wisdom of an Experience.

It is Right and Good that Sun/AHAU will be our Companion on our first journey as the Deer. The first thing we can know is that every journey of the Deer, our Divine Meaning and Purpose, would be shared by the Creator. The Tzolk’in was a path that was Created for us to share the Sacred Event of each day.

Sun/AHAU holds the Authority over all the calendars. They can steal a natural calendar and force us to follow the “man-made” time of the Gregorian calendar, but NO ONE will ever separate us from the Authority of the Light.

AHAU is the Master of Everything. Holding the Consciousness of Unlimited Possibilities, AHAU is the Source of Genius for anything. AHAU connects us to the Collective Wisdom of the Above and the Below. AHAU brings the Brightest Illumination to all things.

The Sun/AHAU trecena will build the Wisdom of Experience, Serving as the Hand of God. We will be guided by the Highest Authority, the Omega, the All-in-One. The Promise from the Beginning is 13 Road/EB, an Ascension of our Divine Destiny.

The 3rd Uinal
1 Sun/AHAU completes the 2nd Uinal of the Tzolk’in. In the harvest cycle of the 260-day Tzolk’in round, we are completing our germination. We made our way through the darkness underground. In the 3rd Uinal of 20-days, we’ve reached the Light. Number 3 holds an Intention of Movement. We are moving in a new world. One sprout looks much like another. We will create who we are by Intention.

Holy Day: 8 Deer/MANIK
Tone 8 represents the Highest Illumination of Solar Light, the hour of the zenith. Most of the festivals and Sacred Ceremonies are observed on Tone 8. The Maya observe 8 Deer/MANIK as the Day of Initiation of the Mayan priest. Tone 8 is the Day of Transformation by Divine Intervention.

PEAK DAYS: Peak Experience, Peak Performance

  • 6 Serpent/CHICCHAN – Lights the Fuse of Spirit; “lightning in the blood” will awaken our Sixth Sense of Knowing.
  • 7 Transformer/CIMI – a Balancing of the Above and Below promises a Major Life Change, and the Gift of Clairvoyance
  • 8 Deer/MANIK – a Transformation of Divine Justice, measured by the Truth of our Intention
  • 9 Star/LAMAT – a Revelation of our Self as the Personification of the Creator’s Light

13 Storm / CAUAC – Ascension: Day 13

Jan18

THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

13 Storm / CAUAC

Greetings Kin,

Tone 13 is the Day of Ascension. Tone 13 carries us to the next Higher Step in our journey of Divine Consciousness. Every Ascension builds on the Higher Ground of the last. The Jaguar/IX trecena raised consciousness to our Gifts of Spirit. Deer/MANIK elevated our Consciousness to the Meaning and Purpose.

Everything that is created holds a “reason why.” Everything we dream of creating was inspired by a reason. We grasp the Divine Power for Creation when our reason is Love, and we Volunteer to a Mission to Love Each Other.

Storm/CAUAC represents the Comfort of Home as the place we run when we see a Storm on our horizon. “Home” represents the place of our Authority where we decide what thoughts we’ll allow in the door. Human is a vessel for Divinity. We were given Authority to Choose the thoughts that direct our lives. When we Choose to follow the path that was laid before us by the Creator, we will be given the Authority by Choice.

Storm/CAUAC is the Day Sign of Renewal and Regeneration. The Lightning of Storm illustrates the Unbridled Power of the Creator, without boundaries, limits, or conditions. The Cherokee Day Sign is the Redbird, said to be a Sign of “lightning energy” in the sky.

CAUAC is a sign of “Lightning in the Blood,” the Sixth Sense of Knowing through the body. Flint/ETZNAB raised our Consciousness to our Sixth Sense of Knowing the Truth. Our Spark binds us to the Creator and the Truth of Unconditional Love.

12 Flint / ETZNAB – A Divine Purpose: Day 12 of 13

Jan17

THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

12 Flint / ETZNAB

Greetings Kin,

Tone 12 is the Tone of Understanding. On Tone 12 we’re given a gift of Retrospection that allows us to draw “disassociated parts into a new functioning whole.” Tone 12 is a day when Truth sinks in.

Flint/ETZNAB, also known as Mirror, offers a crystal clear reflection of the Truth. Flint “beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash.” 

Flint serves as a catalyst for change by bringing things to a head to wipe the slate clean. Flint reveals Truth that is covered up or hidden. There will be no denying of Flint’s Truth, we’ll Know its True the moment we hear or see it.

Both Tone 12 and Flint correspond with Truth as their most important Intention. Flint is a day when we are tempted to “act out of character.” The Point of Flint is to get to the Truth of our Self, and to Believe in Truth as the path of Freedom. Flint knows all the reasons we avoid the Truth. Truth often means we have to take action. Our own Truth can make us feel vulnerable, when it’s different from those around us. There are many ways that Flint can present Truth. Today Flint will clear a path forward on our Mission of Love, through a new Understanding of Truth.

11 Earth / CABAN – A Divine Purpose: Day 11 of 13

Jan16

THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK

11 Earth / CABAN

Greetings Kin,

Tone 11 holds the Intention of Resolution. Tone 11 integrates a new perspective into our faculties of discernment. All our loose ends are drawn together to Resolve our new way forward.

On Tone 11 the shaman make a climb to the Highest Altar to seek the Understanding of a Divine Discernment. The missing pieces filled in by Tone 11 will complete an understanding through simplification and improvement. The Truth we learned will become our own Common Sense.

Deer/MANIK demonstrates a Meaning and Purpose that will make us Happy. That was the Creator’s Intention. Our path was created for a reason as simple as that. The Creator knew our Highest Experience of Living would be manifested through a Right Relationship of Loving and Forgiving. Holding that frame of mind and basic Intention, we would all be a Blessing to One Another. Love is the Power that can turn us all around.

Earth/CABAN is the Day Sign of Mother Earth. Mother Earth holds All the Consciousness of Love there is on the planet. Earth is an Expression of the Creator’s Love. No matter what direction we look, the Beauty of the Creator’s Love is always right in front of us.

10 Wisdom / CIB – A Divine Purpose: Day 10 of 13

Jan15

THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

10 Wisdom / CIB

Greetings Kin,

Tone 10 is the day of Manifestation. What is focused on with Intention becomes real with 10. Tone 10 is a Blessing and Responsibility. To Manifest anything, we have to Claim it.

Wisdom/CIB is the Day Sign that reflects a mind in its Highest State of Consciousness. The glyph illustrations the mind, emanating the rays of Light as Consciousness and Forgiveness.

CIB is the Day Sign that honors the Ascended Ones who preserved the Sacred Wisdom as our Spiritual Inheritance. All that we are capable to Know was made possible by the Higher Ground preserved as our Beginning.

CIB connects us to the Old Ones to remind us that we all walk this same path. It takes all of us to complete the journey that transforms the Whole. The whole of our Wisdom and Consciousness was made possible by Divine Truths the Old Ones preserved for us.

Tone 10 can present a challenge. We have to use our Discernment to see the change. Tone 10 is often a day when we’re presented with an old scenario, only to discover that we see it in a wholly new way. Today we see how, by following a path of Vigilance, we can discern our own Direction of Love. We’ve gained the Consciousness of our thoughts, so they can be directed by Intention. When we learn to push away our negative thoughts, we are no longer ruled by our emotions. We can follow the One Truth our heart knows when we’re cleared of the Illusions of our Ego.

9 Eagle / MEN – A Divine Purpose: Day 9 of 13

Jan14

THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

9 Eagle / MEN

Greetings Kin,

Tone 9 is a Peak Tone that completes our Transformation. Tone 8 and Tone 9 together, raise the Consciousness of the two sides of our Self. Tone 8 changes our Spiritual Consciousness, and Tone 9 completes the change of our Human Perspective. Tone 9 calls for Patience. There is something more to learn. Tone 9 warns of potential suffering in the future if we fail to see the Big Picture.

Tone 9 presents a very important Spiritual Tool for the manifestation of our Dreams. We have to assume that Human’s Consciousness of Love is limited by our own experience and understanding. As Human, we’ll never know it all. Even our Truth will change with deeper understanding. We have to continue our Vigilant Observation with the understanding that more is always revealed.

Eagle/MEN reveals the Vision of our Future. Eagle holds potential for success through its Gift of Forward Vision. Eagle is capable to see which ventures will succeed or fail. Eagle Know that whatever it can clearly see lies within its grasp. A fuzzy picture is a sure sign of failure.

Eagle is an Intermediary who raises us up where we are directly connected to our own Divine Vision from Above. Eagle helps to lift our own Divine Thoughts so we can see something for our Self.

Creating relies on having a clear vision of the Dream we hope to manifest. The more clearly we see the details in our imagination, the more we will Know the Dream lies within our grasp. The Eagle flies by  Intuition.
