Road (E)

This is the day of the road, the sac be (K'iche'). This would be something like saying "the right path" in English. This day represents the ladder, the road, the path -- the successful path. To the native of this sign, the road is the strength, power and energy that cause a person to begin a trip, a job, a

commission and all things concerning the realization of being human. Therefore, Road natives are often quite successful in business. Road indicates the middle, the form, and the condition of the course of your life. It indicates the lines that should be followed, the sacred road, the “white road” of purity. On another level the “white road” goes from one temple to another, or from one city or ceremonial center to another. In this way, those born on the day Road possess a clean spirituality and lots of vitality.

This sign is the energy of the action, the energy that acquires experience while opening roads. The intermediation, the search of new things and the conciliation among different visions. Road people bring in an innovative strength that at times provokes confrontation. They know which way is the right way and are not shy to tell other people.

Incense - No'j | a thoughtful sign from the Sacred Mayan Calendar

Incense (No'j)

No'j is the K'iche' word for incense and it symbolizes meditative thought. The Classic Mayab Ajpuob (the old Kings and Royalty) used many bloodletting techniques to ruminate on difficult questions. A king would put himself in a hole and go without eating for a few days. He would then pierce his tongue or penis and thread rope into the piercing. Then he would light the rope on fire and make a kind of blood incense. The blood would drip down the burning rope and the smoke went to heaven. The king would wait for a vision to then tell him the answer to whatever difficult question was at hand. In this way, the daysign Noj, or incense, is known as the thinker. Natives of this sign are mentally active, practical, reflective, and visionary. They are often leaders in their communities.

Like in the bloodletting ceremony, Noj natives bring the power of communication into the familiar as well as into the sublime. They are a kind of conduit. They are able to communicate with all manners of intelligence, whether galactic, inter-dimensional, or concrete. This means that with the subtle instrument of the mind they are able to travel through space and time, giving them a full range of action and a spiritually advanced conscience. They have great wisdom and cuyopa body lightnening. In addition to synchronizing the vibrations of the collective memory, the Noj native governs and studies the sciences of the human mind. Applying their power and wisdom to something useful for humankind is their greatest test in this life.

The Night

A sensual and mysterious sign. A sign of poets and philosophers, of thinking and feeling. Of expression. It is the day of the legendary king of Palenque, Pacal Votan. There is a feminine softness to this sign, whether the person born on this sign is male or female. These people speak and write well, they have an incredible verbal talent.

Shimmering verbal talent comes from the fact that Night people have one foot in the otherworld. This can be a positive or negative quality. Night people can spin webs of lies as easily as they can unleash the floodgates of their wisdom and insight. Also, there is a kind of manic-depressive quality to them, moving from joy to tears in the blink of an eye. Monkey, their future sign, gives them a flare for trickery and they may often sink into addictions to gambling. Behind the Night person is the loud Eagle who cries out powerfully for whatever it wants. In this way, all the personality of the Night person combines to help her get what she wants. According to the K'iche' Maya, Night people are endowed with body lightning and make excellent diviners or daykeepers. People of the night are likely to have excellent artistic talents.

The sign is an ambiguous form that most Mayanists believe is the symbol of Pacal's underground treasure-house.
