Background Reference: The Mayan Long Count System and Tzolkin 260 Grid.

The Mayan Day Keeping system has been in place for more than 20,000 yrs. For the purposes of this informative sanctum, we “follow” only certain aspects of the Mayan Day Keeping system that we feel are pertinent to aligning with the various energetic shift happening in this “Age of Light for earth”. Although we have been in touch with various gifts and insights that have preceded the more common Mayan Day Keeping System, we often refer to the Long Count System, The Haab calendar, and the Tzolkin.

The Long Count System currently is in the 13th Baktun. A Baktun is a period of 144,000 days or approximately 394 solar years. The Long Count changed in 12/21/2012, ending the 12th Baktun and starting the new 13th Baktun.



A link to understanding the Long Count System is :

Using 09/01/2022 as a reference point.

The Gregorian calendar lists the day number in the middle between the month and the year.

9 (Month) , 1 ( Day), 2022 (Year)

The Long Count for this date is : 13.0.9.15.1 https://maya.nmai.si.edu/calendar/maya-calendar-converter

The Mayan Long Count calendar can essentially be read as follows:

13(B’ak’tun).0 (K’atun). 9 (Tun (solar year). 15 (Winal/Uinal “month”). 1 (K’in. “Day”)

So from the right to the left, the day or K’in is first, then the month called a Winal or Uinal, then the year called a Tun. Beyond the year or Tun, is a K’atun ( a period of approximately 20 solar years or 7200 days ), and Beyond the K’atun is a B’ak’tun which is a period of approximately 394 solar years or 144,000 days.

The Haab calendar is a period of 18 months for which there are 20 days each , numbered from 0-19, making up 360 days, followed by the 19Th month consisting of only 5 days.

The Months are demonstrated in this image: Using the following link to find the Long Count : https://maya.nmai.si.edu/calendar/maya-calendar-converter.

We see that 13.0.9.15.1 Corresponds to the 14th day of the 8th Haab Month called Mol ( Water).



Please see the following link for more information about the Haab Month “signs” . As the frequency shifts and elevates, we are being guided to see deeper into these signs, and beyond what they may have been attributed to in “the past”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haab%CA%BC

Although the Haab calendar is for 365 days, it usually is not the same as the Gregorian Calendar which uses a 12 month 29-31 day system.

The Tzolkin is a 260 day “calendar”, which works to highlight 20 day signs or k’ins, synchronizing to tones that cycle every 13 days, from 1-13. The 20 day signs in essence cycle for 13 times. The tones are numbered with long lines and dots. Each long line represents the number 5 and the dots represent the number 1 above the line. There are 1-4 dots before the symbol changes to a line representing the number 5. The Tzolkin calendar was developed by the Maya Civilization and is still in use in various cultures of Mexican origins.

This is a mystical “diagram”. For the extensive and dedicated work of many who have sustained this diagram and been able to expand on its significance, we offer many thanks. The squares which are colored green have been designated by some schools of thought as Galactic Activation Portal Days. We are best served by tuning into the messages specific to our own inner knowing and resonance. It is through this inner reflection and “asking”, that you are able to identify whether or not your own guidance is indicating a synchronicity between your journey and the particular tones and K’ins of this Tzolkin Day keeping system.

To find the particular “day” on the Tzolkin you must know the Day sign or the K’in and its corresponding Trecana tone. For instance September 1, 2022, corresponds to K’in 1 of Crocodile Imix, tone of 9 (symbolized as 4 dots above a solid line)

To find the K’in and Trecana Tone : This website should be helpful. https://maya.nmai.si.edu/calendar/maya-calendar-converter

For example: 09/19/2022. Day Sign or K’in is Storm Cauac, the Tone is 1. If you go to the Tzolkin Diagram above , then go all the way to the 19Th day sign near the bottom. Blue Storm Cauac. Then go across until you see where there is one dot above a number representing the Tone of 1.

Anytime there is a Tone 1 or 1 dot, it indicates the start of a new 13 tone Trecana . So for 09/19/2022, it corresponds to the 19Th K’in day of Storm Cauac, and it is the new start of a Trecana which starts with Storm Cauac. Meaning that as you follow the numbers and tones, vertically down each column , you also can tune into how each of the following K’in day signs will be flowing in the Trecana of Blue Storm Cauac from 1-13.

Additionally there are the Mayan “night lords”. The night lords are numbered from G1 through G9. They do not carry specific names, like similar systems in other cultures, such as the Aztecs.

From our perspective, the glyphs of each night lord represents a hidden ally. Some prefer to think of the night lords as pointing out various issues of the self to improve. We found ourselves “compelled” to acknowledge them. For reasons that we are not certain, that do not feel imposing or threatening in any way.

There is much speculation that could be made as to our affinity for the Mayan day keeping systems. In essence, when your soul’s light calls forth for you to leap, we find that tuning into other day keeping systems and astrology, has helped tremendously in breaking free of the mental habits associated with mainstream calendar days, stigma associated with the days of the week, and “holidays”.

Just as the movie The Matrix in subsequent sequels demonstrated, you can work very hard to escape a current matrix of limitation and mindlessness, only to create another construct with established rules and habits that essentially block the expansion of consciousness.

In summary, our ultimate “timing” system is within the Divine. It is a system of which we tune to our inner selves to access, and follow its guidance. We know that time is but a tool and not a hard and fast “rule”.
