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.

On this sacred day of No’j, Ajaw, grant me the wisdom, the good intelligence, so that I can use it to benefit everyone around me. I ask you Ajaw that my intelligence is as soft as cotton, that it expands and that it can understand other world wisdoms; that I can understand and absorb the love for the wisdom of my ancestors, Ajaw. You, Ajaw, are the owner, the giver, the donor, and the bestower of the intelligence of all the creatures over the face of the Heart of Mother Earth. Let my wisdom be righteous and correct, without any influences that can bring insanity and which can harm my intelligence, Ajaw, Heart of the Sky and Heart of Mother Earth. Ajaw, I ask you to give me thoughts that are tolerant and that will sustain the peace at my home. Maltiox, Maltiox, Maltiox, and four times Maltiox.
Ajaw Great Father of Supreme Being
