The 20-day Mayan MONTH and their key words for each day-sign.

Note: There are 10,000 levels of consciousness on Earth, clinically proven by the-late DR.DAVID R. HAWKINS, by which to perceive what the meaning of the 20 day-signs are.  In the1960's DR. HAWKINS had the largest psychiatric practice in America, based in New York City, with 25 regional offices. 

Andit has been proven at the US Supreme Court recently that ANY word has at least 900 definitions. So context and content matter.

 Keep that in mind as we review the 20 day-signs and their key words, grouped into 5 sets of four day-signs, with Medicine Hoop directions and market days and s season days identified.

The 20 Mayan day-sign names are known. Other their key words to help explain them are subjective.

There are disagreements about day-sign names and meanings even among the present day Maya in different towns and regions.  So while we generally know the basic Maya names for the 20 day-signs, their 'inner meanings' and usage is also one of personal understanding, as it should be.

Feel free to explore your own personal interpretations and revelations, as I did.  That is when the real knowledge begins. 

The-late DR. DAVID R. HAWKINS liked to point out in his books that, "A thing IS what it is, that IS its meaning."

In the ancient Mayan record books the 20 day-signs are grouped together into four-day sets.

The day-signs are grouped by color around the four sides of the inner ring by order of the 13-day weeks as they occur on the calendar/

The four Year Bearer day-signs are:  Skywalker, Mirror, Night and Star.

As seen on the Aztec Calendar Stone inner ring below, the four Year Bearer day-signs are identified by the smaller triangular "gateways" above them; kind of like the points of a compass layout: NE, NW, SE, SW.

 

 

 

At the top of the Aztec Calendar Stone layout, the inner circle of the 20 day-signs here using the Mayan names, is one of the four larger triangular 'gates' above the last day-sign SUN ajaw and the first day-sign DRAGON Imix.

The SUN gives birth to all creation DRAGON creatures.

Descending down to the left is the smaller triangular 'GATE-way' of the South-West above NIGHT 'pointing' up..

The sunset 'Fall' WEST GATE-keeper is the SERPENT, and after sunset WORLDBRIDGER (death) dream.

The North-West GATE-way is 'pointing' down from the STAR.

The 'Winter' rest 'pointing' down mid-night NORTH GATE-keeper is the DOG, and with MONKEY begins to rise again.

Rising spring 'pointing' down under the North-East GATEway is the REED with kundalini rising.

The sunrise full 'Spring' EAST GATE-keeper is the EAGLE, with WARRIOR guardian angel rising up.

The morning South-East GATE way rises above the thunder MIRROR to Light the fire.

Once again at the top mid-day 'Summer' South GATE-keeper is the SUN to re-birth all creation DRAGON creatures.

From DRAGON creatures to SUN lords, every 20 days.

The 20 day-signs follow a four-day color pattern in order on the calendar: red, white, blue and yellow.

       The red day-signs initiate each four-day cycle. 

       The white day-signs shape what was initiated.

       The blue day-signs multiply what was shaped.

        And the yellow day-signs ripen what was multiplied.
 

So, each of the day-signs have relationships by COLOR. 

When we scan the 20 day Month chart: the red day-signs all cross-reference each other; the white da-signs all cross-reference each other; the blue day-signs all cross-reference each other; and the yellow day-signs all cross-reference each other.
