Tzolkin Trecena Notes –1 Cimi (Death/Transformation)
Day
66 of the 260 Day Tzolkin
Gregorian
Date: June 5, 2013
Year
Bearer: 1 Wind (IK)
Trecenas are thirteen-day
periods in the Tzolkin. Each Trecena starts with the Number 1, but with a
different Day Glyph. As a wave of the Thirteen Heavens, the underlying
energy is governed by the First Day Glyph of the Trecena and influences
all thirteen successive Day Glyphs. Being aware of the predominant
energy of the First Day of the Trecena, we can align our intentions with
that energy and allow our goals to manifest.
This Trecena starts with 1
Cimi (Death/Transformation) – surrender, forgiveness, discipline,
fortitude, self-actualization, empowers staying in the moment. Every
transformation offers us another beginning – another step up the pyramid
to our Soul’s True Destiny.

The Maya celebrated Cimi as a day of
transformation rather than a day of death . In the Popul Vuh, the Hero
Twins defeat the Lords of Death in a ballgame which takes place in the
Underworld. The Twins are ordered by the Lords of Death to perform many
tasks. They are tricked by the Lords and lose their lives, only to be
reborn by transforming themselves. Thus the Maya celebrated this day as a
lucky day of wisely transforming.
In ancient times, Death was
also referred to as the direction North, which symbolized the Ancestors.
Seeking wisdom and guidance from the Ancestors was at the heart of
Mayan ritual practice. According to Kenneth Johnson in Jaguar Wisdom,
“In the day-sign Death, we become one with those who went before us, and
we partake of their wisdom. In the human body, Death is associated with
the crown chakra, the sacred center through which solar enlightenment
and ancestral wisdom may best enter into our own consciousness. Hence,
this day-sign bestows upon us the ancestral wisdom that guides us
through all our transformations.”
The energy of transformation
on all levels, from the physical cellular level to the spiritual
co-creative level, propels us to be aware of all possibilities in each
moment of creation. We are now ready to exercise a choice: to move into
a vibration of listening to our intuition and allowing our ancestral
wisdom to guide us, or to stay with old patterns of the ego and the
rational mind. If we choose the path of transformation, the old patterns
no longer serving us are released and we are filled with the light of
new energy, new patterns, new vibration.
Another representation of
the Trecena is that of a creative wave beginning at 1 and ending at 13,
with the numbers 6, 7 and 8 representing the crest of the wave. The
crest could be interpreted as a strong influential energy, although the
underlying influence on the Trecena would still rest in the beginning. 6
Chuen (Monkey), the creative artisan, the keeper of ancient knowledge; 7
Eb (Road), the vital energy that moves us forward on the Road of Life; 8
Ben (Reed), listening to and utilizing our inner power to fulfill our
true destiny. This is a powerful time to seek ancient wisdom in order to
activate innate psychic abilities. Allow your intuition and heart to be
the guiding forces in the transformational evolution of life.
“This is a special day to contact the ancestors, cure potentially fatal illnesses, prevent accidents, ask for protection during travel, and find access to spiritual knowledge. Communication with higher beings is possible n this day, as is access to dimensional gates.” Carlos Barrios, The Book of Destiny. |
