Tzolkin Trecena Notes –1 Cimi (Death/Transformation) Day 66 of the 260 Day Tzolkin Gregorian Date: September 18, 2012 Year Bearer:  13 Caban 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. 2006 Judith Ann Griffith 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.
