Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Wind (IK)
Day 222 of the 260 Day Tzolkin (38 kin remaining)
Gregorian Date: February 21, 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 Ik (Wind/Air)
Spiritual Breath, Prana, Chi, Inspiration, Artistic Spark, Vital Spirit
Animating All Life, Purifier of Body, Mind and Spirit.
On Mayan sculptures, the God of Rain or
Storms is shown holding a T-Cross, the symbol for Ik, God of Wind. The
wind brings the storm clouds and the rain and is symbolic of the breath
of life itself. The
T-Cross shape is seen in ancient
architecture throughout Mesoamerica and the American Southwest. Some
ancient codices of the Maya depict the Tree of Life as a T shape.
According to Kenneth Johnson in Jaguar Wisdom, “trees and the air are
intimately linked. Without the symbiosis of trees and wind, there would
be no life on earth, nothing to breathe. What better symbol for the
breath of life then, than the T-cross with its dual meaning of ‘tree’
and ‘breath’?”

Carlos Barrios in Book of Destiny says
Ik “symbolizes the cleanliness and purity of glass. It is also the
windows in Mayan temples. These served a dual purpose. The first was to
determine what type of wind was blowing based on sound. Giant, vibrating
flutes were placed on top of the pyramids, and their music directly
influenced those who heard it, altering their energy in a positive way.
The second purpose of the windows, which were aimed toward the four
cardinal points, was to observe and record equinoxes, solstices, and the
transit of important stars such as Venus and the Pleiades.”
 | Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered or Plumed Serpent, rules this Ik daysign. As a deity, Quetzalcoatl was the God of the Morning Star – the planet Venus – and also the God of the Wind. As an Avatar, Quetzalcoatl taught a religion of higher consciousness for humanity. Today, we celebrate the New Year for the Haab Calendar (365 day cycle) with the shifting of the Year Bearer from 13 Caban to 1 Wind. 1 Wind will now carry the burden and responsibility for the transit of the Solar Sun for this next year: the sun rising in the morning, the sun reaching zenith midday, the sun setting, then travelling through the Underworld and arising again the next morning. |
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. In this Trecena, the crest falls on 6 Manik (Deer/Healing Hand), 7 Lamat (Star/Rabbit) and 8 Muluc (Water/Offering). The energy of Wind flowing to the crest of the pyramid symbolizes the spirit of Deer/Healing Hand as the Sacred Rhythm of Life, the spirit of Rabbit/Star/Venus as the Goddess of Love, and the spirit of Water as Purification and Offering in Gratitude.

Welcome the Wind as the divine
breath that sustains existence. Utilize Ik energies to journey deep
within ourselves to purify body, mind and spirit. This WIND OF LOVE
will not only change us individually but also reflect out into the
Universe as Unity Consciousness.

 | THE MAYAN "WAYEB" For the Maya, there is another Mayan new year In February to commemorate. Known throughout the Maya-lands as "Wayeb," these are five "lost" days that are always tacked onto the end of the 360-day solar year "Haab" calendar. They are observed by the Elders with utmost respect. Mayan cosmology is overt about exploring the underworld. This is where the shadow side of ourselves resides, and there no personal growth without facing it. Wayeb is the time to consciously allow this to happen. During Wayeb we look deeply within and formulate specific commitments so that we can become our best in the new year. more details |
