7 Wisdom/CIB – The Old Stories

Nov12

7 Wisdom/CIB (Cherokee, Owl U’GUKU’   O’JJ)

7 Wisdom/CIB - Owl

7 Wisdom/CIB – Owl

Galactic Tone 7: Reflective; 7 stands as the mirror to divide light and dark and reflects all that is and is not. 7 is associated with the source of creation and the flow of divine will. 7 establishes the purpose to current and future goals.

Wisdom/CIB: The old ones. Wisdom of the ancients. Wisdom persons are aligned with the ancient memories that wait in the stone of temples and sacred sites all over the world. Wisdom people grow luck like a crop using a balance of prudence and tenacity. The tremendous inner strength of this sign, enables silent introspection to discover areas of oneself that contain wisdom more valuable than any trove of archaeological treasure. Wisdom persons are valieant defenders of family and community. They may become hardened to life and sentiment turned cold. In these cases, they need much forgiveness for their uncaring errors. Periodically connecting with nature and or visiting sacred sites will bring great stability to wisdom persons. (A good day to sit on a rock.)

Cherokee, Owl U’GUKU’   O’JJ: Symbol is the Owl is Arcturus, the brightest Star in the Constellation Bootes. The Cherokee Bear constellation (Ursa Major) includes the Big Dipper plus four stars in Bootes.  Owl is a hunter, who stands for the wisdom and ability of all great hunters, the cunning of a fox, the tenacity of a bulldog and strength of a bear. Energy for deep thinkers, strong-willed, rigid convictions, bold and authoritive.  Owl is the Mystic Ferryman who guides Earthlings on the return path to the stars holding the torch aloft.

The Old Stories

7 Wisdom/CIB calls us to draw near the wisdom of our ancestors. The number Seven plays an important role in the ceremonies of the Cherokee. Seven represents the 7 clans of the Cherokee, and is also associated with directions. In addition to the 4 cardinal directions of East, South, West and North, 3 others exist: Up Above, the Down Below, and the Center. The number Seven also represents the height of purity and sacredness, a difficult level to attain. Continue reading →

6 Eagle/MEN – Eagle’s Flight

Nov11

6 Eagle/MEN – Eagle’s Flight

6 Eagle/MENGalactic Tone 6: Six is responsiveness and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspsects of life.

Eagle/MEN: Intermediary between Heaven and Earth. Due to the Eagles superior point of view and keen intelligence, they achieve material abundance and good fortune. A messenger gifted with patience and a deep sense of value, Eagle brings hope and trust on the wings of Spirit. Eagle persons are very detail oriented and technically inclined. Compassionate service to others sustains prosperity for Eagle personas as the flapping of wings would sustain their bird brothers. If Eagle becomes viciously competitive or possessive, greed and jealousy cause a fall from the heights. Eagles, being blessed with freedom of movement, should be aware of escapism. Eagles may be tempted to just fly away from troubles by using indulgences.

Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI: Eagle’s symbol is Mars the Spirit Warrior. He is a minion of Grandfather Moon. Eagles were the warrior society, the braves the protectors of the nation. Women were included. There was no discrimination which is reflected in the language: third person singular is divided into animate, human and animate, not human instead of he and she. The energy of high hopes and anticipations, dreams and visions,cosmic consciousness and commitment. On earth, a provider of excellence, leader, husbandry, care-taking of others, financial security and inheritance.

Eagle’s Flight

The energetics have been building through this 13-day trecena. As we arrive at Tone 6, we begin to find ourselves ‘in the flow’ of a personal transformation. The focus of this trecena that began 1 Dog/OC is on perfecting our capacity for unconditional love. We are learning how to be man’s best friend. Continue reading →

5 Jaguar/IX – Gifts of Spirit

Nov10

5 Jaguar/IX (Cherokee, Panther Saho’ni)

5 Jaguar/IX

5 Jaguar/IX

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.

Jaguar/IX: Born with a deep love of the Mother Earth, Jaguar or shaman is directly tied to the source of all Earth magic. They possess great power of intellect and strength of character through integrity. Jaguar energy is feminine in nature and is the ruling spirit of jungles, plains, and mountains. The spirit of Jaguar inhabits the Mayan temples and is called on to assist in spiritual as well as in material ways. Jaguar is also the god/goddess of gratefulness. Patience born of strength and skill can turn to pounce of quick decision and action. Both bold and stealthful, Jaguars do not often attack directly and communications from them usually contain some mystery. In the absence of integrity, Jaguars power corrupts becoming a search for wealth and fame.

Totem-Jaguar:  Guardian of the portals to other dimensions, shamanic abilities will open.  Multi-dimensional magic. Healer, leader, way shower energy when used for spiritual growth. Abuse would be using this power for control or negative purposes.  Must find a powerful balance.

Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI:  Symbol – comets, meteors, shooting stars, fireballs, magicians.  The early-morning Leo constellation Meteors appearing around the middle of November are Heralds of the Coming of the Light, the Cherokee New Year.  Shadow of the Sphinx, Herald of the Dawn, guardians of the night when the sun is traveling through the underworld. Shapeshifters, manipulators of manifestations. Unlimited imaginations, visualizations, spellbinding speakers.

Gifts of Spirit

Galactic Tone 5 brings empowerment to our communications and our application of knowledge. With Jaguar Vision we can see through the darkness.

Jaguar/IX’s deep love of nature guides us to deepen our connection to Spirit through the natural world. Here we can experience our oneness with every living thing. As Jaguar Vision makes us capable to see that all form and matter ARE living things we are gifted with ‘knowing’ the deeper dimensions of ourselves, and our own special magic. Continue reading →

4 Reed/BEN – Channel of Love

Nov9

4 Reed/BEN (Cherokee, Reed I’hya)

4 Reed/BEN

4 Reed/BEN

Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.

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 endeavor 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.

Cherokee 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.

Channel of Love

In Native American tradition, the Reed is hollow tube, through which our Spirits are connected to the divine. The glyph illustrates two Reeds – one channel, for the out-breath of our prayers to the Creator, and another, as in-breath through which we may receive inspiration from Spirit. Continue reading →

3 Road/EB – Road to Destiny

Nov8

3 Road/EB (Cherokee: Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA)

3 Road/EB

3 Road/EB

Galactic Tone 3: Movement. Three is basic movement and communication, which begins as a vibration. Three energy is very eloquent in all types of self-expression. Communication is how Three establishes a point of agreement between any point “A” and any point “B”. Three persons are rythmic to the core and are often restless, as motion is their nature. By working closely with the energy of Three, any person becomes more able to predict motions of all kinds.

Road/EB: The bearer of time and conductor of destiny; also known as Human; these persons open the road and guide to the future groups, communities and individuals alike. Likable, obedient, dedicated hard workers and organizers, Road persons are fortunate in business and travel. Many become care takers of the poor, sick, or old people, where they may make personal sacrifices. Sometimes referred to as the sign of Grass, which is the most bountiful of all life forms, but is also the most humble. Road persons are affectionate and emphatic; they are easily hurt but slow to anger. Holding in of negative emotions and unexpressed resentment can lead to illness, a poisoned opinion of others and a false bravado for this sun sign.

Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth: Symbol is Rainbow, a delicate display of electromagnetic rays of the SUN. The Natal day sign of Medicine, the Shaman, the Priest, the Healer, and the Sorcererkh; Guardian of the Way, Keeper of the Keys of the secret Kingdom.

Road to Destiny

Tone 3 is our first movement of this 13-day trecena as we enter the journey of Road/EB, bearer of time and conductor of destiny. Our movement in the world over time manifests our destiny. The destiny we create is influenced by what we bring along on the journey. Through self-understanding we can see what gifts we may bring.  Though, discovering where our weaknesses lie may be far more valuable. Continue reading →

2 Monkey/CHUEN – Monkey Magic

Nov7

2 Monkey Chuen (Cherokee, Raccoon/KVH’LI )

2 Monkey/Chuen

2 Monkey/Chuen

Galactic Tone 2: Duality; Mysterious as the question “to be or not to be?” Two is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Yin/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number.

Monkey/Chuen/Batz: Monkey is known to the May as the Weaver or Weaver of Time. Monkey takes ideas as threads of vines and weaves them into the fabric of our reality. New patterns or inventions are also woven into our lives by Monkey. Amiable, intelligent, generous and jack of all trades, Monkey’s innocent curiosity leads to artistic expression and constructive solutions. It is also considered to be one of the most fortunate and lucky day signs.

Cherokee, Raccoon/KVH’LI: The Racoon Symbol is Algol, a star in Perseus. Restless energy yearning for long-lost love. Algol was named DEMON STAR or MISCHIEVOUS ONE by the Ancients because it winks and fades at times. Raccoons are full of friendly mischief, eager to swap kisses for candy. Magnetic leaders, full of humor and gaiety. Favorite food is corn, the mainstay of the Cherokee. Very artistic while being the “masked bandit” who steals your heart.

Monkey Magic

Galactic Tone 1, the first day of each trecena, is a potent day of inspiration. You may find these to be days when you prefer time to yourself. I’ve found that if I attempt major progress on this day – I have a hard time getting off “go”. It really IS a good day to be alone and introspective. Continue reading →

1 Dog/OC Trecena – Love is.

Nov6

1 Dog/OC (Cherokee, Wolf/ KANA’TI) – Love IS.

1 Dog/OC Trecena

1 Dog/OC Trecena

Galactic Tone 1: Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with.

Dog/OC: Loyalty and faithfulness that survives beyond death.  This was the first day of creation energy in this 4th world, setting the energy for love, loyalty and faithfulness on the 5200 year cycle.  Heart chakra energy is involved so that we can move to the state of “unconditional love” with compassion.  All sexual desire issues that are not in harmony will surface to be cleared.

Cherokee, Wolf/Kana’ti – O’Oj: Dog/OC is a symbol of Sirius (Dog star) and Antares; one or the other is always visible but never at the same time.  Wolf is our brother, shares our very roots.  All dogs are domesticated wolves, companionship and guidance; connecting a link between the worlds; wolf is the day sign associated with teachers, pathfinders and transformers.

Love IS.

Galactic Tone 1 brings us to the beginning of a new trecena under the day sign of Dog/OC. Dog/OC will be the underlying energy influencing each of the 13 days in this cycle.

Dog/OC opens the 13-day trecena of devotion, companionship, self-sacrifice and unconditional love. This trecena has the power to teach us that love is the key to understanding, and the way to live in harmony with all our relations. Continue reading →

13 Offering/Muluc – Spirit will answer.

Nov5

13 Offering/Muluc (Cherokee, The River, Yun’wi Gunnahi’ta)

13 Offering/MULUC

13 Offering/MULUC

Galactic Tone 13: Ascension: Thirteen assists us to go to the next higher step, propels us to try something new or to try again. Thirteen energy takes us over the next mountain just to see what is there. Thirteen carries the last success to the newest effort. Thirteen is a number associated with the Ascended Masters, creation, expansion, and manifestation.

Offering/MULUC: The sign of water. Ceremonially, Maya use water as an offering in baptisms and purifications, done to bring about a collective strength, adaptability and harmony. Fluid of the cosmos to fluids in the body, Muluc offers the energy to clear all karmic debts, personally, and on a mass level with fluid and grace. Muluc is also associated with the Moon and the emotional body. Water days are a good time to analyze your wishes and prayers and connect them to any rituals or practices you follow.

Cherokee, The River/ Yun’wi Gunnahi’ta: The “Fountain of Life”, giver of all fluids, water, rain, tears; the Milky Way is also referred to as The River.

Spirit will answer.

The River carries water along the way to its final destination. At the delta, water passes into the ocean to be transformed into something new.

With the Tone 13 of Ascension, we have arrived at a new horizon. We are prepared to move our intentions forward with the vision from a higher vantage point. Offering/Muluc touches our hearts and emotions that we may be fully engaged in the process.

On 5 (Empowerment) Star/LAMAT (Multiplication to Abundance) Spirit drew forth the tradition of a 21-Day Ceremony of Gratitude as a proven and worthy Spirit Tool. On the following morning, this journal was begun in earnest when I realized the message was meant for me. Proceeding as Day 2, I offered the commitment of my presence through the 21 days with the intention of multiplying gratitude. With no idea what I may be able to share for 21 days, I continued forward with the assurance that all that was necessary was for me to just be present.

The 21 days were completed yesterday, and as we arrive at 13 (Ascension), Muluc (Offering) my attention is focused on the way ahead and how I may continue on with my journey. On 8 Batz, the Mayan New Year, I made a personal commitment to complete the 260 Tzolkin round, journaling inspiration from Spirit and to recreate the art of the glyphs each day. With new vision I can see that the power for the transformation that followed was in the commitment and in my connection to all, in lak’ech.

To all my relations, I present myself as an Offering. I release myself into the divine flow of The River as an open vessel to be guided as the energies of the sacred Tolkin may find me worthy… for the greater good of the collective, the One and the All.

21 Days of Gratitude, Day 21 – A Gift of Understanding

Nov4

12 Star/LAMAT (Cherokee, Rabbit/NOQUI’SEGWA)

12 Star/LAMAT

12 Star/LAMAT

Galactic Tone 12: Understanding. Twelve is a gift of great capacity of retrospection. It is the ability that allows Twelve to connect disassociated parts into a (new) functioning whole. The energy of Twelve is that which presents a new piece of understood information or accumulated experience to be applied.

Star/Rabbit/LAMAT: Star energy is multiplication of all things to abundance. Star has been associated with the fertility of rabbits for its ability to multiply. Each sun in the sky, Stars shine equally in all directions. This natural tendency of harmony and balance can become compulsion, motivating Star to be too agreeable and too generous.

Cherokee, Rabbit/NOQUI’SEGWA: Symbol-Venus, The Morning Star cycle of 260 days and Evening Star cycle of another 260 days, inspired the 13 numbers, 20 Day sign Sacred Calendar. Rabbit is the Trickster of Cherokee culture, matching the Coyote in other nations. The personification of Light and New Life, Sunrise, the sign of the Moon-Father of earth children, the Rabbit is fertility, be fruitful and multiply. Represents softness, gentleness and vulnerability.

See my Tzolkin Page for resources.

A Gift of Understanding

The 21 Days of Gratitude are now completed through the Tone of Understanding. One step after another became a journey, bringing us to a new horizon where we can look back to see how far we’ve really come. The world that existed for me 21 days ago shows little resemblance to the new Earth/Caban world that evolved through this trecena. Though, the destination may still not be in perfect focus, a WAY of getting there has become clear.

Star/LAMAT multiplies to abundance whatever we focus upon. The ’21 Days’ was inspired by our last visit to Star/LAMAT with the intention of multiplying gratitude. Residing in a place of deeper joy, we exist in the center of creation where all things are possible.

Tone 12 of Understanding is the last step before Tone 13 of Ascension. Now with ‘great capacity for retrospection’ we can see our process as a whole. We can see we are now capable of more than we imagined before. I know with greater conviction the empowerment that results, when I am willing to invest of myself to make it so.

To all my relations, thank you for the new light of understanding and for the Spirit Tool of gratitude that we may use so that our joy may be multiplied to abundance.

21 Days of Gratitude, Day 17 – A Sacred Gift

Oct31

8 Seed/KAN (Cherokee, Dragon Ukte’na)

8 Seed/KAN (c) Copyright 2015, Debra Malmos

8 Seed/KAN
(c) Copyright 2015, Debra Malmos

Galactic Tone 8: Harmony and balance; weighing evidence to reach a balance of justice. The power of organization demonstrated in the statement, “as above, so below”; from simplicity to infinity

Seed/KAN: Family, sexual activity and the magic of germination are the characteristics of this sun sign. Seed strives to free themselves and others from the debt or oppressive patterns of the past. Abundance is gathered by Seeds as if with a cast net.

Cherokee, Dragon Ukte’na: The Sky constellation Draco represents this sign. Dragon represents Matriarchy, the Great Mother Figure. Dragon is the Corn Spirit, the dual personality of both Corn Mother and Corn Maiden. This Sign is fertility and procreation, generation to generation.

A Sacred Gift

From the mystery of Akbal we emerge to a new day, Seed/KAN, holding new inspiration with which to fire our seeds of intention. We are made fertile soil through love and forgiveness of ourselves and others.

8 Seed/KAN holds within it the Earth magic of germination – the ability to emerge and grow into something brand new. The seeds we have chosen require some help in our garden. We can nurture our seed/KAN with the acknowlegement of its inherent wonder and magic. We can love the ‘generations to generations’ of seeds that have now brought THESE seeds forward. Every living thing flourishes within the light of love.

“As above, so below.” The measure of the joy we receive is directly proportional to the love we give.

Love that you have been given a magical seed that has within it the power to become something beautiful. Give it the ‘love of your attention’ as the care and nourishment needed for it to grow.

To all my relations, I have been given a Sacred Gift that holds the energy of abundance. Help me to honor it in a good way so that I may receive the full expression of the beauty in its creation.

Jaguar Woman/9 Eagle/MEN

ASTROLOGY NOTES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5UqcRWJ_Nw
This is significant time of giving birth to a new identity. The daykeeper Seed/KAN emerges as Venus conjuncts Mars on October 30. (The energies of the Mayan Daykeepers subside as the Sun sets, and the new Daykeeper begins to emerge.) Venus conjunct Mars is the meeting of the God and Goddess under Jupiter as the Overlord. It is the meeting of the divine feminine and masculine, the yin and the yang, through which there is promised a new birth… in perfect synchronicity with the potential of all creation held within this day, Seed/KAN.
