Category Archives: Mayan Calendar (Cholq’ij)

NOTE: SAQ’ BE’ IS NOT CURRENTLY DISTRIBUTING CHOLQ’IJ CALENDARS. THIS IS HERE FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.

As many of you know, every year Saq’ Be’ travels to the community in Chichicastenango, Guatemala to pick up the traditional Mayan Cholq’ij calendars they produce. We return with them and make them available for sale, returning the profits to the community to support their continued efforts to keep the traditional ways alive. Unfortunately, we do not know when we will be able to return this year and are thus uncertain as to when the 2005 calendars will become available. As a way of compensating for our lack of hard copy calendars, we are making available the same Cholq’ij/ Gregorian overlay on our website, which can be viewed on the front page. We have also made available information on the meaning of the Nawales (glyphs) and numbers presented. Click “read more” to view additional infromation on this calendar. We ask you to please consider supporting Saq’ Be’, a nonprofit organization, by making a tax-exempt donation to assist with our continued efforts for the rescue, preservation and appropriate sharing of these living ancient peoples, traditions and cultures.

Purple

Purple is used to do away with bad thoughts, illnesses and problems of the mind. This color is the true healer and cuts any energy. Purple can be used when none of the other colors work for specific illnesses, regardless of gender or age. It is a color that cleanses and opens paths. Purple is somewhat similar to the energy of the color black without being confrontative.

Blue

Blue is the color of fortune, it is to say the one that solidifies everything that has to do with finances. Blue should be used when there are material problems or to support businesses and projects so they may have better finances. Together with Baby Blue and green, Blue gives the opportunity to realize and proportion material well being. Normally it should be used in a sequential order for this purpose.
* The colors Blue, Baby Blue, and White help to develop spiritual powers like intuition, vision and ubiquity in the Najt (space-time).
