Today we begin a trecena under the power of Kan, which represents the serpent. It is movement and energy, the force that connects us with the telluric and the cosmic. Kan is the Ch’umil that drives transformation, the shedding of the skin to leave behind burdens that no longer serve us and renew our strength, taking it to other levels to unfold our potential. It is to elevate knowledge to wisdom, thought to manifestation, its energy is in constant evolution.
This trecena reminds us that to evolve we must give space to transformation and action, that nothing is destined to remain static, for we have come to live fully, to experience and to grow in every sense. These thirteen days give us the opportunity to activate our energy and channel it toward an authentic evolution.
Hoy comenzamos una trecena bajo el poder de Kan, que representa a la serpiente. Es el movimiento y la energía, la fuerza que nos conecta con lo telúrico y lo cósmico. Kan es el Ch’umil que impulsa la transformación, el mudar la piel para dejar atrás cargas que ya no nos sirven y renovar nuestra fuerza, llevándola a otros niveles para desplegar nuestro potencial. Es elevar el conocimiento a sabiduría, el pensamiento a manifestación, su energía está en constante evolución.
Esta trecena nos recuerda que evolucionar requiere dar espacio a la transformación y la acción, que nada está destinado a permanecer estático, pues hemos venido a vivir plenamente, a experimentar y a crecer en todos los sentidos. Estos trece días nos brindan la oportunidad de activar nuestra energía y encauzarla hacia una evolución auténtica.
We are all but souls exploring an unexplored world, trying to understand an unexplained existence. During these paths of learning, our surroundings and those around us have gifted us with our values, a set of rules we would need to live by. “Be kind”, they said “be brave, and always try to be the best version of yourself.” These are beautiful teachings that, unfortunately, have caused much harm.
Grandmother Water has been present since the creation of our Mother Earth, giving form to the great oceans before the emergence of volcanoes and land. Within her, she carries the wisdom and story of our whole existence, and was a vital part of it. She was there when our creators were still sowing the world, she heard the first howls and chatters of the animals entrusted with caring for the Earth, and she witnessed the first seedlings sprout, eventually growing into immense millinery trees. She has cared for us, nurtured us, and filled this planet with magnificent sights all this time.
From the moment of our creation, our life has been shaped by the mycorrhizal pathways that connect us to each other, which nourish our very essence. In this Kawoq, we want to make a space for reflection, as we question: what is our community?
As the roots of rationality spread across the globe, feeding the human with knowledge and science, the light of the world dimmed a little. The human species became mechanical and robotic, losing a part of its essence. The hearth of the universe flows with magic, crackling in sparks of wonder and in melodies of beauty.
The power of Mother Earth expands beyond our gaze and immediate sight. In our paths, we might have walked among giant millenary trees, travelled across vast oceans painted in all shades of blue, or stopped to observe great canyons and mountains. While beautiful and powerful, those are just the surface level.
In the moment of our creation, as our eyes fluttered open and our pupils adjusted to the light, our soul saw a world anew. During our explorations, caressing the earth with every small step, everything seemed to be unknown yet so beautiful. A drop of water or a leaf pirouetting as it danced in the wind was magical. Slowly, as the earth became more and more familiar, we shut down our vision.
Mother Earth has been patiently waiting for our awakening.
Our life is composed of a weaving of paths, each thread carefully looped with every step we take. As E is the energy of the path, this trecena is a beautiful invitation for reflection. In every moment we are shaping our destiny, every action we take forms a curve on our road. The beauty is that we get to choose which direction we want to take.
