Iq’ is the wind, the energy that governs ideas and change; it symbolizes renewal and purity, it is the purifier of the body, the mind, and the spirit. It is the divine breath that sustains existence and the energy of words and communication. Number 12 projects creativity and dreams; it represents the consciousness of being. The energies of this day bring creativity and life to your projects. During the Creation of the Universe 12 Iq’ created the wind. This is the reason why it is called spirit, because there is no death within it.

IMOX The importance of this Ch’umil is that its energy brings the seed of the Ixim (maize). Imox is the anagram of Ixim. The Ixim was brought here from another dimension and from it the present humanity was shaped. This entails that in the concatenation of the energies of Creation, this Ch’umil becomes magical, it is the one that breaks the structures, the one that manifests the internal powers such as vision, intuition, dreams. Everything that Ch’umil Tz’ikin provides you, Imox develops. This energy is the one that connects our left side of the body. It is the energy of the left hand, which is the one that connects us to our magical side. This Ch’umil acquires much importance in these times of the Job Ajaw, the new cycle that brings the evolutionary changes and which is the key to the integration of all our powers. It is magic and knowledge fused. It is the new form of reality to which we entered in this new cycle. It is said that Imox is craziness, but this does not mean that one is mentally unbalanced. It is, rather, the strength that allows us to transgress reality and enter to the foundations of our inner knowledge, of our inner powers, of breaking the material structures to make everything become magical and energetic. The inner powers are the twenty senses: the five traditional senses plus intuition, vision, dreams, realization (in the sense of delineating reality), the power to move objects, and all the other senses we have, but which are dormant. It also gives us the power to transform ourselves into our animal of power, our correlative animal. this is called nawalism.

Imox is the subtle part of human beings; it is the unusual and the eccentric, the essence of our consciousness, the strength of our mind. It represents the Water element, thus, it is an auspicious day to ask for rain, for water, and for the fertility of nature. Number 11 symbolizes the act of dividing, sorting and sharing. During this day ask 11 Imox to help you focus on your positive thoughts and to develop your intuition.

During the Creation of the Universe the stones and the trees where created on a day 11 Imox, this was done within the Sun.

AJPU is the Ch’umil that represents father Sun, the Heart of the Sky, the Creation energy which allows us to develop in every plane of existence. It causes cyclical changes. In the K’atun (a cycle of twenty years) it marks the energies by which humanity is governed, and it also affects the great cycles like the Baktun (5,200 years). Ajpu represents renovation, the new that comes with every dawn. It is also the old, the experiences we have lived, which are represented by the dusk, by the twilight.  It is the transition. The wise elders paid a lot of attention to the zero shadow or zenith sun (when the sun in located at the zenith and its light comes down vertically, producing no shadows). That is the mystery of the Ajpu, the secret is that zero point where nothing affects you, because nothing moves you. It is in Ajpu that we must connect, for it gives us clarity and strength, the energies that we need, mostly in these times in which the changes are demanding that certainty, clarity, and the determination of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy that we need at this moment in which our purpose of life as integrated human beings is to access a new dimension. To remain trapped in the way of life that we currently have, is to be tied up to the limitation and lack of balance that we have caused. We have to take responsibility, remember that spirituality is a “conscious action”.

Ajpu represents the spiritual warrior and the hunter. It is the energy of Grandfather Sun. This day brings material and spiritual certainty; it helps us overcome the negative energies and gives us the certainty and acuity of the hunter. Number 10 represents creativity and flowing. Pay attention to the events that happen during this day, so you can recognize the right moment in which to make a move toward materializing your dreams.

During the Creation of the Universe on a day 10 Ajpu the bad men went to the Underworld.

KAWOQ – In this sequence of the energies of Creation, this Ch’umil is the one that gives importance to coexistence. Since it represents the family, the community, humanity, we have to realize that the purpose of human beings is to fulfill their own experience, but this should be connected to the evolution of all, for we all are the manifestation of Mother Earth. By now, in this cycle that we are living, there should already be a human level expansion in relation to the cosmic. On December 21, 2012 we entered an era directed to ether, projected to the galactic relation. The glyph for Kawoq (the circles that look like some sort of grape cluster) represents a family, but it is a cosmic family, for everything comes from above to the last circle. Everything comes from the Cosmos to the Earth and from the Earth to the Cosmos. The obstacle we face as a humanity, which was foreseen by the elders, is the thoughtlessness and the influence of the media to which we are subject and which is inducing us to a confrontation that affects the family with a lack of respect, instability, and disorientation. If we extend this to humanity, we can see that nowadays we live in intolerance, racism, and classism. But let’s remember that this is part of the changes that come with this new cycle, and the old socio-economic systems bring this readjustment. Lets seek to join in.

Kawoq means the strength of unity; it represents the family, the community, the society, and the group. It is the energy of abundance, in both the material and the spiritual sense. Number 9 represents the emotional, the intuitive, and the creative. Light a candle to ask the Creator for His protection and blessings on your home, your family and your community. During the Creation of the Universe on a day 9 Kawoq the Underworld was tested for the first time.

TIJAX is the lightning; it is the obsidian knife. The wise grandfathers call it the double-edged blade. This Ch’umil has an important role, for it is the energy in this chain of evolution that breaks the shackles that trap us in each of the four planes of manifestation, beginning with our limitations. To break them we need to focus in our inner being to review and recognize who we are, what entraps us. We cannot lie to our own selves, for if we do, what level are we in? Tijax, then, has the purpose of breaking those structures, it helps us take away the fog that is blinding our vision; it tears the veil. Tijax is deeply related to the Rays of Creation in its physical-material manifestation. It is the one that breaks the bonds that tie us in the four planes. It is the one that takes away the illnesses, the one that heals us. In these times, Tijax frees us from the limitations of reason. This Ch’umil gives sense to freedom. It allows us to engage in a new dimension, where we can access the development of our dormant senses. Magic, which is the technique that allows us to use these energies, is under the auspices of Tijax. We are the ones that set the limits.

Tijax is the power of the thunder and the lightning represented by the obsidian stone which is black and transparent, sharp but fragile. It is also the obsidian double-edged knife which represents the negative in the positive and the positive in the negative; it is the strength and power of the warrior. Number 8 symbolizes the complete energies of the material world. The energies of this day provide you with the power to cut off any material blockages and negative energies. During the Creation of the Universe 8 Tijax planted its hands and feet firmly and nailed them to the ground.

NO’J is knowledge. This essence is important in the chain of creation, for it’s structure creates balance between material reality and magical reality. The challenge we must overcome is what we know as reason, which is both positive and negative. It has its share of knowledge, which frames us within what’s rational, within the part of the thoughts that is looking for logic and reason within the parameters that delineate the social fact. The other knowledge is the one that we deny or which is dormant, that one that connects us to a different reality, the reality of the energies that form what we call reality, which is ultimately the configuration that we all have learned; to give shape, weight, and volume to everything that exists, this is a world of vibrating energies. In the Creative evolution this Ch’umil is of essential importance, for it gives us the opportunity to foray into the magical part that most of us have restrained, limiting then its purpose of life. As an example we can assure that most people have no knowledge of how they are physically formed, they don’t know how many bones or muscles they have, many don’t know how many organs they have or where they are located, least what their function is. Less do we know the importance of the heart and the brain and its hemispheres, and of how to use them to develop the synaptic creative chain of neurons. Let’s take on the task of learning this, this is a good start.
