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

Ajaw B’itol Tz’aqol I ask you to grant me the gift of clairvoyance during every day of my life. Just like the Sun rose under the sky, it rose over the face of the Earth, and in the same way I ask you, Ajaw, that I find clarity in my thoughts, in my heart, in my feet and in my hands. I ask you that your clarity comes upon my family, upon my daughters and my sons. I ask you to always light them with your divine clarity. My wish Ajaw is that any disputes or trials are rejected and removed from my home, from my path and from my mission. Don’t allow Ajaw that any turbulence or scandal may ever enter my home. Maltiox, maltiox, maltiox and four times maltiox.

Ajaw Great Father or Supreme Being
Tz’aqol and B’itol Creator and Maker
Maltiox Thank you
