Oxib’ Kame is a powerful teacher who bestows great knowledge upon us. One of its deepest teachings is that in order to discover our essence we must be willing to undergo profound transformations— to die and be reborn. The chain of creation teaches us that the energies of each day not only support our development but also open various paths toward our fulfillment. Change, that rebirth brought by Kame, depends on the work we’ve done with other energies and the level at which we find ourselves. Kame can support us as we continue to free ourselves from the circumstances, emotions, and habits that limit us, or it can even guide us, if we reach higher levels through Kan, toward being reborn into a new understanding of our existence.
Kame is the energy that connects us to our ancestors and higher guides, to other dimensions, and to the ancestral memory that lives within us, even to past existences. Today, we can offer a candle in gratitude for the lives of our ancestors, for all the ancient wisdom that guides us and which was bequeathed to us from those who walked this path before us.
Oxib’ Kame es un maestro poderoso que nos otorga grandes conocimientos. Una de sus enseñanzas más profundas es que para descubrir nuestra esencia debemos estar dispuestos a atravesar profundas transformaciones, a morir y renacer. La cadena de la creación nos enseña que las energías de cada día no solo apoyan nuestro desarrollo, sino que también abren diversos caminos hacia nuestra realización. El cambio, ese renacer que nos trae Kame, depende del trabajo que hemos realizado con las demás energías y del nivel en el que nos encontramos. Kame nos acompaña, desde liberarnos de circunstancias, emociones y hábitos que nos limitan, hasta, si alcanzamos niveles más elevados a través de Kan, renacer hacia una nueva comprensión de nuestra existencia.
Kame es la energía que nos conecta con los ancestros y guías superiores, con otras dimensiones y con la memoria ancestral que habita dentro de nosotros, incluso con existencias previas. Hoy podemos ofrendar una vela en agradecimiento a la vida de nuestros ancestros y ancestras, por toda esa sabiduría milenaria que nos guía y que surge de tantas personas que caminaron por esta existencia antes que nosotros.
Today, we receive the power and wisdom of Keb’ Kan, the serpent that represents movement and transmuting energy. It is Q’uq’umatz, the feathered serpent that rises from the earthly to ascend into the cosmic. Within the chain of creation, Kan emerges to move energy; it is the force that drives action. Its power extends from our DNA to the macrospiral of the universe. The essence of this Ch’umil lies in being the energy of evolution: it is the act of turning knowledge into wisdom, thought into reality, and ritual into magic. It embodies the capacity to transmute all energy. After the liberation brought by K’at, Kan helps us transform energies, guiding us to rise—like Q’uq’umatz—from the material to the spiritual, from the earthly to the cosmic.
Today begins a new trecena under the energy of Jun K’at. This is the second trecena in the chain of creation, and Jun K’at will be the Ch’umil that accompanies and supports the energy of the new Cholq’ij cycle, the energy of Wajxaqib’ -8- B’atz’.
That first ray of light that emerges to break the darkness, the light that opens our vision and allows us to explore new spaces and realities, is the energy brought by Oxlajuj Aq’ab’al.
Today brings the wisdom and power of Kab’lajuj Iq’, the energy that gave life to the wind—the element that purifies, nurtures, and empowers the mind. In the chain of creation, Iq’ strengthens the power that flows from Imox. It is the wind of Iq’ that helps us break free and find clarity, releasing the mental constraints we impose on ourselves so we can connect to new states of being and shape our reality.
Today, the power and wisdom of Julajuj Imox manifest. Imox is the Ch’umil that speaks to us of sensitivity—not just as the ability to connect with our emotional realm, but also as the capacity to perceive energies that are far more subtle. Imox reminds us that we are sensitive beings, endowed with senses and powers that guide us. Within the chain of creation, Imox represents the energy that helps us break through the structures of material reality, allowing us to connect with the magical and the energetic.
Today, we receive the power and wisdom of Lajuj Ajpu. Ajpu represents the Sun, the wisdom revealed through each of its phases, the light, and the strength it bestows upon us. Within the chain of creation, its energy sustains the evolution of every being throughout the different cycles of their existence. It is Ajpu who marks the great events that guide humanity; each new cycle begins under its power.
On this day, we receive the power and wisdom of B’elejeb’ Kawoq. In the chain of creation, Kawoq is the energy that connects all things. Its essence flows between the cosmos and the earth, moving inward and outward. It is the expansion we can achieve as individuals and as humanity to rise to higher levels of consciousness.
Today, we receive the power and wisdom of Wajxaqib’ Tijax, the energy that brings the force of lightning and the obsidian stone, known by the Elders as the double-edged blade. This energy breaks the ties that limit us on every plane of existence—physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional. In the chain of creation, Tijax arises as a liberating force. The work that Tz’ikin, Ajmaq, and No’j have brought to our vision, awakening our ability to access deep knowledge without getting trapped in rationality, finds in Tijax the tools and power to manifest. Its energy clears our vision, giving us clarity to release what we no longer need and open new paths to our power. It is a purifying force that removes illness, negative energy, and adversity, guiding us to a state of lightness and balance on all planes of existence.
This day manifests the power held by Wuqub’ No’j, the Ch’umil of knowledge and wisdom. No’j is the one who integrates every new lesson, knowledge, and experience that emerges from Ajmaq into our being, enabling us to transform them into wisdom. No’j has a rational side that gives us logical thinking, but it also has a magical aspect that teaches us how to work with energies, granting us the power to create our reality. Its teachings speaks of the importance of nourishing the mind not only intellectually, because filling the brain with information doesn’t make us wise; instead, it can confuse us or trap us in reason. No’j invites us to nourish the mind holistically, making space for both intellect and magical creativity, integrating mind and heart as the foundation of our creative capacity.
