Keeping the same theme as yesterday… today begins a new Trecena that is initiated by 1/Wind. Like I said in yesterday’s post William and Viola from tzolkincalendar.com will post every 13 days when a new Trecena begins. Since a new Trecena begins today, I felt I should give you an example of what their posts look like in case you want to see what they have to say about each new Trecena. I for one have enjoyed reading these from their site.
Day 222 of the 260 Day Tzolkin
Gregorian Date: November 14, 2008
Trecenas are thirteen-day periods in the Tzolkin. Each Trecena starts with the Number 1, but with a different Day Glyph. As a wave of the Thirteen Heavens, the underlying energy is governed by the First Day Glyph of the Trecena and influences all thirteen successive Day Glyphs. Being aware of the predominant energy of the First Day of the Trecena, we can align our intentions with that energy and allow our goals to manifest.
This Trecena starts with 1 Ik (Wind/Air) Spiritual Breath, Prana, Chi, Inspiration, Artistic Spark, Vital Spirit Animating All Life.
On Mayan sculptures, the God of Rain or Storms is shown holding a T-Cross, the symbol for Ik, God of Wind. The wind brings the storm clouds and the rain and is symbolic of the breath of life itself. The T-Cross shape is seen in ancient architecture throughout Mesoamerica and the American Southwest. Some ancient codices of the Maya depict the tree of life as a T shape. According to Kenneth Johnson in Jaguar Wisdom, “trees and the air are intimately linked. Without the symbiosis of trees and wind, there would be no life on earth, nothing to breathe. What better symbol for the breath of life then, than the T-cross with its dual meaning of ‘tree’ and ‘breath’.”
Another representation of the Trecena is that of a creative wave beginning at 1 and ending at 13, with the numbers 6, 7 and 8 representing the crest of the wave. The crest could be interpreted as a strong influential energy, although the underlying influence on the Trecena would still rest in the beginning. In this Trecena, the crest falls on 6 Manik (Deer/Healing Hand), 7 Lamat (Star/Rabbit) and 8 Muluc (Water/Offering). The energy of Wind flows to the crest of the pyramid showing the spirit of the Deer as a healing hand, the spirit of the Rabbit as impulsiveness leading to good fortune, and the spirit of Water as Offering in Gratitude.
As we journey through each day of this Trecena: 1 Ik (Wind), 2 Akbal (Night), 3 Kan (Lizard), 4 Chicchan (Serpent), 5 Cimi (Death/Transformation), 6 Manik (Deer/Healing Hand), 7 Lamat (Star/Rabbit), 8 Muluc (Water/Offering),9 Oc (Dog), 10 Chuen (Monkey), 11 Eb (Road), 12 Ben (Reed), 13 Ix (Jaguar), welcome the Wind as the spirit of change flowing through your life.

This is something that was posted about the 6th “Day” that I wanted to share with all of you. What a perfect time for me to force myself to get back into the daily or almost daily routine of posting again, even if it’s only a few sentences. This was posted on tzolkincalendar.com and reposted on mayanmajix.com. William and Viola who wrote this also post a new blurb about the 13-day Trecenas every 13 days to help give you a better understanding and allow you to see a new perspective into each of these cycles and I think they have done a wonderful job in explaining them. So with that said here is William and Viola’s post about the 6th “Day”.
The Sixth Day heralds a time of flowering for the plant - awakening, unfolding, and opening up to new possibilities. Most scholars use the words “enlightenment” and “renaissance” to define this creative period. Historically, the Sixth Day on other levels or cycles corresponded to the invention of tools, first attempts at agriculture and building shelter; the European Renaissance itself; and the flower children movement of the 1960’s.
This Heaven of Light, the Sixth Day, begins with 13 Imix on the Sacred Calendar, the Tzolkin. The number 13 represents co-creation, unconditional love and culmination of spiritual enlightenment. The number 13 is the final number in the sequence of 13 numbers of the Tzolkin. Imix is the first of the 20 day signs comprising the Tzolkin. Imix is symbolized by the Crocodile and the Waterlily – beginning, receptivity, trust, Earth Mother, nourishment, protection, primordial ocean of possibilities.
The intention of the enlightenment or ascension energy combined with the primal energy of Imix gives us the ability to feel a new era unfolding.
As we transit from the twilight of the Fifth Night into the twilight of the Sixth Day, our burdens become lighter as we discard what no longer serves us in order to evolve to the next stage of growth in this new reality. Just as a plant follows the Fibonacci Sequence by looking back in order to evolve, humanity has a unique opportunity to look back to our ancestors and incorporate ancestral knowledge in order to evolve into our true destiny of being co-creators and caretakers of this beautiful planet we call Earth or Gaia.
With time acceleration and the concrescence of novelty becoming more apparent to individuals, and as more individuals begin to open to awareness and the increased photon field that we seem to be moving through, we realize that our minds alone cannot keep up with the evolutionary changes. It has become necessary to rely upon our instincts and feelings to navigate through this new vibrational field.
In order to continue to the next growth stage in this fantastic journey, we must not only incorporate ancient wisdom by performing sacred ceremonies and rituals, but also tune into our instinctual knowledge. As the number of choices we are called upon to make increase, let our intuition guide us along the ascending path. Consciously choose to take the high road – be positive, loving and compassionate – choose love over fear or anger.
The Fifth Night saw the beginning of the end of dominance. Dominance on every level is beginning to fall away: dominance of governments, religions, corporations, individuals, and ego. Each individual will begin to realize their own worth as dominance falls away. Each will feel their own purpose, their own responsibility, and begin to realize their full potential as loving human beings.
To maximize the incoming influx of light energies and to better handle the rapid changes, it is very important to stay grounded. Incorporate a daily movement practice such as qigong, tai chi, yoga; meditation; perform ceremonies and rituals, even just lighting a candle and offering a prayer; practice kindness and compassion; maintain a good diet and a positive attitude; and follow the Mayan Sacred Calendar – the Tzolkin. As we go into the Sixth Day, let us each be like the bud of a flower, ready to open to our full beauty. Let us embrace the ascending spiral of light with a flame of hope and gratitude in our hearts.

The 6th Day of the Galactic cycle begins November 13th 2008 (13/Imix). This period comes after the darkest period within the Underworld, (the 5th Night) which is ruled by The Lord of Darkness. This 5th Night was very rough and challenging and many of us experienced some very dark times. I would like to express that those experiences allowed each of to grow, to strengthen ourselves, and to push for something better. We are getting closer and closer to uniting with each other and putting everything aside to achieve one primary goal. I feel the warmth coming, I feel positive and optimistic about where we are heading.
One huge topic that has recently happened here in the United States but has made many people happy in countries all over the planet is Obama’s victory in the 2008 election. Obama will be the first African American president and I don’t care who you are, the message he has been saying is something everyone should agree on. Set your religion aside, set your greed aside and please become aware how important it is for each of us to unite and build something better.
Each day within an Underworld can be compared to a specific part of a plant’s life. The 6th day is the period in which the plant flowers and prepares for fruition. Our galactic consciousness is about to flower and that to me is extremely positive and hopeful. I can practically feel the explosion about to take place and I for one am very happy with the direction we are now taking.
Back to Obama’s victory, I think the Obama haters really need to reevaluate their situation and ask why they hate him so much. Are you racist, ignorant, or do you have your own greedy agendas? Seriously, if you are reading this and you absolutely hate Obama, do me a favor and take a step outside yourself and try to point out why you hate him. Do your research; don’t just believe what the media tells you. Search deep within yourself and find out how you feel, what you believe, and ask yourself why you feel that way.
I for one believe Obama will bring the changes we need to complete our journey towards full unification and enlightenment as a species. Be hopeful, have faith that things are as they should be, and don’t allow fear into your life. For each of us are one and we all have more potential than we realize.
