9 Crocodile / IMIX – Building an Altar: Day 9 of 13

May25

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

9 Crocodile / IMIX

Greetings Kin,

Tone 9 holds the Intention of Patience. Tone 9 transforms our perspective through consciousness of the bigger picture. With the energy of Nine plans or patterns begin to come to completion. Tone 9 comes with a warning that there could be suffering without this important insight.

The Reed/BEN trecena is drawing us into a Divine Channel of Communion with the Creator. With Tone 9 we see the reason why this was part of the Divine Plan.

Crocodile/IMIX is the womb of Creation. IMIX calls us back to our first Consciousness of Being. Spirit was once the only thing we knew.

The Cherokee Day Sign is the Turtle. A Cherokee myth tells the story of the Heron Spirit Bird as a beautiful maiden who fell from the Sky Vault with no place to land on the primordial sea. Turtle came to the surface of the water. Here she nested and laid her Cosmic egg, from which all things are born.

IMIX is the Creative Void, the womb where all consciousness is born. At the Altar of Consciousness within, we are returned to the place where all life began.  IMIX inspires an infinity of Consciousness. Known as the Mother of Invention, IMIX awakens our Consciousness with wild ideas that inspire innovation. This is a day to be conscious of our Inner Thoughts and discern their source. We can recognize them as a Voice of Spirit by the way they interrupt our Human thoughts.

May24

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

8 Sun / AHAU

Greetings Kin,

Tone 8 is the Holy Day of festivals and exaltation. Each higher level of Consciousness is built upon the Ascension of our last Effort.  In our last trecena, Sun/AHAU led us to a New Revelation of Light. We were called to establish a connection for Light within.

Meetings with Sun/AHAU are always days of Personal Revelation. Sun brings Light to what is hidden in darkness, and Illuminates what is Hidden in Plain Sight. Tone 8 is a Day of Divine Justice. 8 Sun/AHAU brings the Revelation for a Life-Changing Spiritual Experience. 8 Sun/AHAU also Completes the 3rd Uinal of Movement that brings a Dream to Life.

The Sun/AHAU trecena transformed our Will to Be One with Light. Reed/BEN reminds us that we are all the firstborn of a Divine family. On the Day of Divine Justice, the Altar we Created will be Consecrated from an Altar Above. AHAU, the Supreme Creator who orchestrated the Movement of the Heavens and Earth, returns on this Holy Day of Fulfillment.

Our Dreams of New Light and a New Way of Being are always supported by the Creator. We are guided to humble ourselves to a Power Greater than our Self. 8 is the Number of Pure Spirit. We will be transformed by the Unseen Power of Light.

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

7 Storm / CAUAC

Greetings Kin,

On Tone 7 we’ve completed our climb of spiritual growth. A Tone of Reflection helps us establish future goals by seeing things as they really are. Tone 7 reflects all that is, and all that is not. All that is accomplished in Spirit will be reconciled through a Balance between the Above and the Below.

Storm/CAUAC symbolizes the Lightning that connects Heaven and Earth. Lightning is a Spectacle of the Power from Heaven that Blesses the Earth with with nitrogen to bring New Life. CAUAC offers the gift of Renewal and Regeneration of Spirit.

Tone 7 is a Holy Place at the top of the pyramid. We make an Offering of our Dream, reflecting on all we Hoped for and what we actually accomplished. We are measured for a Transformation that will complete what is needed by Divine Intervention.

The lightning of the storm is an unbridled Source of Power. Lightning knows no boundaries and can reach us wherever we are. CAUAC sends a Spark that recharges our “spiritual battery.”

The number 7 is associated with a Spiritual Awakening. 7 empowers mysticism, intuition and psychic abilities. The Cherokee Redbird is a totem of this lightning energy. It’s appearance was a sign of lightning in the sky. 7 Storm/CAUAC restores Faith and Hope in our Dream through a Peak Experience of Spirit and our Sixth Sense of Knowing.

13 Road / EB – Ascension: Day 13

May16

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

13 Road / EB

Greetings Kin,

On Tone 13 we Ascend to a Higher Consciousness. Road/EB is the Sign of Human that represents the Road of our Destiny. The glyph reminds us that we choose our own Destiny. The Road to our Destiny is illustrated on Human’s head.

Human was given the choice to create our own experience of living. The choice to be happy is up to us. The Human destiny we create will be defined by our own choices.

The Sun/AHAU trecena offered Light to see that we are always attended by a Divine Agency. We were also shown that beyond our own Human Destiny, is a Higher Destiny – a destination prepared by the Supreme Creator. While our Human destiny requires us to make many choices. We inherit our Divine Destiny by a Single Choice.

Our Divine Meaning and Purpose was demonstrated by Deer/MANIK, the Mayan priest, dedicated to sharing the Creator’s Love, and guiding those who will willingly follow. Deer leads by standing in silence, vigilantly observing the landscape. The sure-footed deer can stand firm in High Places, grasping the Light of the Creator as the course of its direction. Deer leads by following beauty, and discerning the place of Safety where the Whole can exist in the Life, Light, and Happiness of the Creator.

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

12 Monkey / CHUEN

Greetings Kin,

Tone 12 raises us to a new Understanding as the Wisdom of our Experience moves from the Head to the Heart. 12 offers a great capacity for retrospection to connect disassociated parts into the Whole of our Understanding. 

Monkey/CHUEN is the Weaver of Time and the Master Artist who sees the Beauty in the tapestry of our life. Dog/OC and CHUEN exist together in the center of the Tzolk’in as the two aspects central to the Creator. Dog reflects the loyalty of Unconditional Love, and Monkey is a creator.

Monkey explores life with a sense of curiosity. The Cherokee Day Sign, the Raccoon, is the friendly trickster that coaxes a smile. They remind us not to take ourselves so seriously. Our emotions can be healed by taking on an objective point of view and keeping a sense of humor.

GREEN KIN: ELEMENT OF ETHER
12 Monkey/CHUEN (KIN 51) is a Portal Day that amplifies our experience through a thinning of the veil. These are days when we are most capable to experience our Supernatural Gifts. A Portal will magnify our Gift of Retrospection. We may find it’s just as magical all our Spiritual Gifts.

11 Dog / OC

Greetings Kin,

11 Dog/OC leads us to a Higher perspective of Unconditional Love. Dog represents an enduring Love, our constant companion, even beyond death.

Tone 11 brings Resolution and Clarity for a new Understanding. Tone 11 is the day the shaman climb to the Highest Altar to seek Divine Inspiration. Tone 11 shows us where we “fit in” into a Higher Plan. The Clarity of 11 makes a way for dynamic developments.

Dog is an archetype of the Creator’s Love. The Wolf is the Cherokee Day Sign for the Dog. Wolves are pack animals, sharing their lives and companionship for the well-being of the Whole. Wolves are a connecting link between worlds. Dog is believed to carry the newly deceased across the waters to the dimension of the afterlife.  Dog’s loyalty survives beyond death.

10 Offering / MULUC – Vigil of Light: Day 10 of 13

May13

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

10 Offering / MULUC

Greetings Kin,

The Sun/AHAU trecena has guided an Intention to shine our own Light in the world. We were called to fulfill our Highest Meaning and Purpose to expand the Light of Unconditional Love. Like the Sun, our Mission would be to share a Source of Light, Life, and Happiness.

Tone 10 is a day of Manifestation. This is a day when we are made capable to see what we’ve created. Tone 10 offers a Blessing that comes with a responsibility. Manifestation requires that we see a Truth of Transformation and claim it for our self.

The inspiration for our journey with Sun/AHAU was initiated by our Ascension from the trecena of Deer/MANIK. MANIK inspired us to the task, promising to offer every Spiritual Tool needed to overcome our Human limitations.

Sun/AHAU guides us to apply our Faith to this Mission to Serve the Whole. In so doing, we would come to a Higher Understanding from the reality of our own experience. We were purified by the Sun, a Light that revealed all our limitations to live perfectly in the Integrity of our Truth. We found that perfection wasn’t a qualification, but a misguided perception by Human of what would be required to reflect the Authority of the Creator’s Love.

Standing in the Truth of our own authenticity is a challenge to our Human Nature.  In revealing we are broken we offer the service of allowing a Greater Light to shine.
