Descriptions of the Mayan DayLords

 


SIGNIFICANCE of BAATZ:
It symbolizes unrolling time, the evolution of the human life. Time is represented as a thread rolled up on a spool that is found under the ground.  It is the divinity that connects heaven to the Earth and the creation of life and wisdom. It is the time that delays the human gestation.  The “Tz’ite” has 260 days that symbolize the nine moons or the nine months of maternity.  “B’aatz” presides over the future.

This thread unrolls itself to the extent that it passes through time.  The histories weave themselves with the time, as is with the thread within the garments; they are woven amongst themselves.  The Mayas, before finding the thread used the palm (pop) to weave and this is why it is called “Pop” to the histories written in the “Pop Wuj”. When the sacred ceremony is carried out we feel happy and therefore we dance around the fire celebrating because time is unrolling itself giving us life and existence.  The dance is of right to left until concluding thirteen rotations.

When this part of the ceremony is concluded, then another thirteen rotations around the fire are danced, but this time go left to right, rolling up the time again.  Within this symbolic ceremony is when we ask for the desires of our heart as to what we want in our life.  The “Creator” is the movement and the dance is movement.

SIGNIFICANCE of AJMAQ:
Pardon and sin, the dark of the night and the first ray of morning light represent Ajmaq; there is a duality barely perceptible in this sign. 

AJMAQ day brings energy from the Mother of errors. Your offenses and irresponsibility’s were brought before the Creator and before the manifestation of life and creation. In that the Grandfathers said that your sin is a direct offense to the Great Father.  The Ajmaq is of the ground, the spirit of the Grandfathers.  The Maq, part is like a curtain of smoke that hides us from the presence of the Eternal Father.

Ajmaq, in addition to pardon, is a day for introspection. In ancient times, this was a day of rest in which you reflected upon your acts and their consequences, whether they were conscious or unconscious. Ajmaq is also a person who gives an offering for (and asks for) forgiveness of the one’s offended, and to perform ceremonies bearing the necessities, traditions. For the recapitulation of life in general and of the last cycle of 20 days (Winal) was a form of maintaining equilibrium in the World Maya Classic.  Ajmaq asks for pardon of Mother Earth because of the abuses and is grateful for the benefits received.

It is the day that the Great Wise Ones imparted instructions. It communicates to the elders of the community.  It is the planetary conscience and exterior space.  It represents the Grandfathers and the ancestral knowledge. The major errors and irresponsibility’s for Ajmaq persons is not to believe in yourself; and also same things regarding your unwillingness to serve your failing to remember the Heart of Heaven and the Heart of the Earth.  Therefore, this is a favorable day to ask forgiveness for the offenses that you have committed against yourself. Ajmaq is also a day that one recuperates and connects with the visions of universal reality and with ones personal reality. 

This is the day when one questions the purpose and course of their life; the deep questions and mysteries may be expressed individually by one’s self about their humanity.  The energy of Aaj, authority in this case, represents experience, and the virtue of a long travel in life.  Ajmaq' s figure is that of the Elder. To gain the understanding of an elder, you are required to have completed four cycles of 13 years, that is to say 52 years. Ajmaq is a day to remember the Grandfathers, the ancestors, Mother Earth’s manifestation of protection and kindness to humanity and that she always forgives.

SIGNIFICANCE of NOJ:
Noj symbolizes the movement of Heaven and the Earth. Your gift is to be able to acquire intelligence and knowledge.  Likewise, Noj symbolizes the movement of ideas and thoughts within the mind. The Noj is the energy that governs the mind, knowledge, good memory, and is the connection between the mind of the universe with the mind of man.  It is the interaction among the limitless expanses and governs the limitations of reality.  Noj imposed the limitations of the human being.

The energy of Noj brings the virtue of Nobility.  Noj is the standard-bearer of all the virtues, especially patience, prudence and the excellence of love.  Noj brings clarity that is used to guide us through life provided we transform every experience into knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is the possession of the Father. Accordingly no human being is wise except they consult with the Father through prayer and meditation. Perhaps a ceremony unto the Father is performed in order for us to receive the wisdom and knowledge of the Father. These people have good ideas, but are lacking in wisdom.

Therefore it is necessary for them to be gathered in counsel to gain ideas and to plead with the Father for knowledge.  The elder people need to continually be in counsel with Father in order to be retaining the knowledge and wisdom they have accumulated in their lives. Noj brings the power of communication into the familiar as well as into the sublime.  They are able to communicate with all manners of intelligence, whether galactic or inter-dimensional. The Noj brings with himself the mystery of the Najt.  This means that with the subtle instrument of the mind they are able to travel through space and time, giving them a full range of action and a spiritually advanced conscience. Great wisdom and white magic have been born under the auspices of this sign. Especially the heirs of the great One, recognized as one of the great spiritual guides of the ancestral world. This sign activates the positive manifestation of spirituality in this dimension.  In addition to synchronizing the vibrations of the collective memory, the Noj governs and studies the sciences of the human mind. Leading nobility to power is their greater test in this life.

It signifies likewise the power of directed thought and the strength of intelligence, the internal strength of the planet, the magma, the power of the volcano, the catalyst of the sacred fire.  Represented by the knife with a double edge, is the image of the two faces of the currency that converge at the tip as to where when it is finished one can not tell where one side begins and the other side ends, that is to say, part of the positive is in the negative while part of the negative is in the positive.

Even as the image is clear upon telling us that the “Tijaas” is good with the positive and drastic with the negative. “Tijaas” brings the power of cutting the mysteries and opening a cavern to another dimension.  Likewise it signifies pain, grief, and sadness; is the arrow or spear that brings the danger. It is a day of purification and balance of our actions, by which we should pay in order to be able to learn so much in the physical plane as well as in the mental and spiritual planes.

He is the great Father of Jun Ajpuu and Isbalamque, the twin sons, mythical figures of creation.  They are the grandchildren of the first grandparents Ixpiyacoc and Ixmucane.  They descended to the Sibalbay-“The dwelling of the Gods of the inner-world.”  According to Mayan tradition, her habitat was hidden in the subsoil to survive the great catastrophe of twelve thousand years. 

The twins defeated the adversities and passed the tests; they then died and were resurrected to a spiritual awakening. They are the “great hunters”, sure and certain.  They possess great magic and are the parents of delicate art.  In addition to this, they are likewise the educators of civilization in general. AJPUU is a day for the special Mayan ceremony of protection from the Wuqu Qak’ is or seven revenges (pride, ambition, envy, lie, crime, ingratitude and ignorance). 

When Jun Ajpuu and Isbalanque were on the hunt and they planted maize in the patio of the house of “Grandmother Ismucane”. It was said that if they flowered, this signified that the sub-soil habitat survived, but if the seeds dried up, then their habitat was dead.  The maize dried up and “Grandmother” gave an offering to revive the grain. The energy of Ajpuu is the Token of the fertility.  It is the strength that caused regeneration for the cycle of life.  It governs the lunar and solar eclipses.

The general traits and similarities of Imos are sensibility, peculiar, eccentric, the lizard or crocodile of the rivers.  This is this the energy that manifests the hidden or internal powers of the human being, or “The sleeping giant”. This energy is favorable to celebrate ceremonies in which we invoke the elements.  “Imox’ s” manifestation is pure and simple; They are the extraordinary “fountain of life” ascending upon humanity and the Earth.  That is why the Earth is covered with 75% water and the human body is composed of 80% water. This is the day to ask for rain in order that the rivers of life are maintained and that the wells keep their water.  This “offering” or prayer is given in order to offset the indiscriminate drilling and tapping of our water sources that they may avoid the danger of being dried up. It is the essence of our conscience and of our mind.

This day should be kept very stable otherwise it can provoke foolishness.  It is everything that corresponds to the left side of existence.  In the day “Imox” an adequate ceremony is done for the advancement of the crops of maize.  The agricultural calendar begins on “Imox”.  The maize is planted next to the bean and these are the base food of the Maya.  This is a day to ask for protection against pests in crops that you have sown.  The “Imox” is the spirit of the rain.  Spiritual snakes in the heaven represent this as they travel through the atmosphere spilling torrential rain.  It represents the fertility of nature, of the human being and of the other species.  It is the fountain of life, Temporal food as much as Celestial. 

The “Imox” can tend to appear as “insane”, which means that they are unusual and may break away from the “establishment”.  It is an energy that brings rare things and is connected to comets that sow the seeds that germinate life in space. “Imox” represents the interior space of the mind, the interconnection of ideas.  It is the strength that maintains the unity of ideas and mental strength.

This is the legend and the meaning of “Iiq”. The wind that travels through the windows of Mayan temples performs a double function. On the one hand, according to “the tablets,” the wind created the sound of the pyramids. These sounds act directly upon the persons that hear them, therefore altering their energy in a positive way.  The other function of this wind created sound is to set points of observation and marking the equinoxes, the solstices and the travel of important stellar bodies such as Venus, the Pleiades, etc.  Therefore, they were oriented toward the four cardinal points or “Corners of the Earth”.

The Iiq, as an element, is one manifestation of the strengths of the Majakutaj ( Lord of the North), one of the four Balameb (Gods) of Maya mythology.  “Iiq” is the purifier of the body, of the mind and of the spirit.  Its image is the great food of the mind; it is the divine breath, the halo of life that maintains our existence, the words that handle the energy, the communicator. This sign is the animator of energy, the representation of subtleness', purity and crystalline.  It favors the visions, the beauty and the harmony.

Aqabal” symbolizes the two polarities of the laminating energy: light and darkness.  It is a good day for strong and sacred ceremonies where the Father is asked in humility to forgive the human errors (conscious and unconscious). The “Pop Wuj” calendar had reached 12.000 years, and a great catastrophe in the ground had brought a great deal of water, fog and mud. Then the four “Gods of Humanity” did ceremonies to clear up the environment. Then the sunlight heated it with all its strength.

The great ceremony was done on mount “Was’saqi Aqabal”, each one of them brought their offering, their own incense.  It was the first tribute to the Great Spirit. All the animals and people prostrated themselves and they gave thanks for this new awakening, this new opportunity of life, this regeneration of creation. “Aqabal” is the strength of renovating, to break the monotonous routine and unhitch you in order to take a new course. Each one of us has chronological or cyclical changes in our lives that vary and transform our destiny. This sign manifests in forms of duality. This doesn’t have to be a drastic event or may be as subtle as the change from light to darkness or from cold to hot. This duality just doesn’t appear to be very extreme.

SIGNIFICANCE of KAT:
It signifies the network that serves to trap fish and to keep the ears of corn; but it metaphorically refers to a subtle network in the mind of the one that stores the memory of everything that you learn and experience.  Likewise it symbolizes the tangles and problems that we get into or that our destiny gives us for our teaching.  The network serves throwing it to the water and to the fish, to spread traps and to keep for the future as a symbol of abundance.  The symbolical sense in this form can be positive or negative depending on how it is perceived.

The hair of the ears of corn symbolizes the cures for various wrongs and functions like the sign of favorable abundance, which is an offering to the “Creator”.  “The image is that of the incense in its wrapping.  To untie the offering with our hands is to free the obstacles that impede us from being well”.  This sign gives us tests and trials in our lives.  The silk is utilized to reward us for patience.

The pregnant lizard or iguana, representations of this sign, symbolizes the fertility and the prolonging of life.  On the other hand, re-birth in the water, the mythical twins “Jun Ajpuu and Is-balamke” were re-born in the form of fish, that likewise they are symbolic of abundance. It is the essence of the fire that consumes the captivity, the oppression and the lack of liberty.

Thus, blood was shed by the sparrow hawk and after 7 days, Kaan was resurrected into the form of a Snake.  Kaan is the interior fire placed in the base of the vertebral column (coxes) which actively affects the sexual energies and the regenerative strength of life.  As in the DNA, Kaan has the form of a spiral chain and contains all the genetic information and the collective memory of humanity.

For thousands of years the Mayan Grandfathers have pertained that light and energy is transported in space in the form of a spiral.  According to Newton, light traveled in linear patterns. According to Einstein, the light was carried in an elliptical form. Today new discoveries evidence that light travels in a spiral.  The new data that astronomers have obtained through the Hubble telescope tell us that there is a macro gigantic formation with the form of a great worm in the Universe that contains everyone’s material. Apparently the beginning of this formation is next to the Pleiades' (accumulation of stars). According to the Mayan Grandfathers, the human being itself originated in the Pleiades area.

Kaan is the energy of knowledge and the transmutation of wisdom, strength, serpentine power, and sexual magic.

“Kemee” (the death) is sure and certain: we are all born, and one day we will return to our origin.  “Kemee” for the Mayan World, contrary to other cultures, is beneficial energy.

It signifies canine (Dog).  People of this sign (Tzi) have a capacity to serve in work-intensive positions such as a secretary, or as Theologians.  They are people of authority such as Guardians of the law, material and spiritual.  This sign represents fidelity, order and accuracy.  It is the sign of “Jun Ajpuu Wuch”, that hunts with the spirit of a wolf; and Jun Ajpuu Utiw, that hunts with the spirit of the Fox.  They are guardians of the mountains, the cliffs and canyons.  They are also the guardians of justice, principally the spiritual and material law, until the end they’re lives.

TZI  is a day to find peace and correct your errors and sexual desires, lest you fall in the Wuqu Kakis (pride, lie, ambition, envy, crime, ingratitude and ignorance).  You should seek out balance in every sense, especially between your spirituality and your materiality.  Tzi has the Totem of sexuality; the stone of the Sun. TZI is the ceremony to free you of your poverty and vices.

Tzi is the sign of law and authority.  The “laws of the land” and the “Laws of the universe “.

Tzi the day of justice brings to light the truth of all things.  This day is for you to offer praise to the Hosts of Heaven that they manifest their energy into the planet.  This may be accomplished through people and special places of energy. The result of this ceremony is to free us from poverty and vice.

Your “First parents” gave the rigid laws of the Classical Mayan World.  The norms that they have dictated to us are called the “Natural Order”. This law is not complicated and it is based on the harmony that reigns in nature.

The other meaning of Tzi is that of the dog.  This gift is responsible for your ability to apply the “Law” and to help others to be in compliance with justice.  Some examples of this are the duties of secretaries, assistants and counselors.  They are representatives of the Great Father for the Earth.

Your energy is co-joined with the scriptures, especially the sacred scriptures.  It is the symbol of the “Great Writing”.
