Today is Wajxaqib’ (8) B’atz’ (Maya New Year). This is the first day of the Cholq’ij Calendar; during this day the Ajq’ijab’ (Maya Spiritual Guides) and the Maya community join to celebrate with Fire Ceremonies of gratitude to the Ajaw (Great Father) and to pray for blessings for this new cycle. Join this celebration by lighting 20 candles, one for each of the Nawales and connect through their energy to the hundreds of Sacred Fire Ceremonies that are lit today in all of the Sacred Mayan Altars.
