The Cholq’ij Calendar is a powerful tool for revealing natural cycles that relate to humans. By understanding the Nawal and number (energy) of each day, we are able to harmonize our lives and activities with the natural rhythm and order, advancing our personal and collective development. This tool requires more than an intellectual understanding; we realize it’s potential in our lives as we work with the energies on a daily basis.

Thanks to Denise Barrios, we are able to make this information more accessible by publishing the Nawal and number for each day, as well as an explanation for it’s meaning. This information is also being pushed out via social media.

Prayer from Don Pedro Ixchop

I ask you, Sacred Spirit Ajaw, for your divine favor on this day E, I ask you to look after me, in my paths, wherever I go. I ask you to look after me when I go in and out of my home, when I am working, when I walk in great paths and in small paths. I ask that your Sacred Spirit is always with me, that it will never leave me and that it will be perpetually in me, in all the paths that I walk every day over the face of Mother Earth. I ask you to look after me in the paths that I walk during the day and in the paths that I walk during the night. I ask you to protect me when the Sun rises and at noon, to protect me when the Sun sets and at midnight, to protect me at dawn. I ask you to protect me in my paths, to protect me in my mission, so that I will not stumble, so that my family won’t stumble. I ask you to protect the steps of my sons and my daughters, so that they are my destiny and my happiness, Great Father. I ask you Ajaw, that with your divine power you clear my path from any obstacles put there by the enemies of your Sacred Spirituality, that you get rid of any threat in my path, in my activities and in my life, Ajaw. I ask you Ajaw of the Maya Elder Pedro IxchopSky to place any evil in another space, Sacred Ajaw of the Sky and the Earth. Maltiox, maltiox, maltiox, and four times maltiox.

Ajaw Great Father of Supreme Being
Maltiox Thank you
