The 20-day mayan MONTH and their keywords for each day.

There are 10,000 levels of consciousness on Earth, clinically proven, in which to perceive what the meaning of the 20 daysigns are.

And it has been proven at the US Supreme Court recently that ANY word has at least 900 definitions. So context and- ontent matter.

 Keep that in mind as we review the 20 daysigns and their key words, grouped into 5 sets of four symbols, with medicine hoop directions and market days/season days identified.

 

 

The following 20 mayan daysigns, in English and Maya, are the interpretations of Dr. David Stuart, the-late DR. JOSÉ ARGÙELLES, and the-late DR. RANDALL JIMENEZ, except where noted(*).

Dr. Stuart is the world's leading authority on Maya glyph decipherment. 

                  D.S.  =  Dr. David Stuart

                  J.A.  =  DR. JOSE ARGUELLES  (The Mayan Factor)  

                  R.J.. =  DR. RANDALL JIMENEZ   (Aztec Calendar Handbook)

   *WATER LILY MONSTER   imix      Dragon  imix        Crocodile   cipactli

      *Dr. Stuart interptrets imix as Water Lily Monster, but I choose to use a similar word that is less 'negative', Creature, so as to read, "Water Lily Creature."

    WIND          ik'             Wind       ik             Wind   ehecatl

    NIGHT        ak'bal        Night      akbal        House   calli

    SEED          k'an           Seed      kan                     Lizard   cuetzpalin

 

    SERPENT  chikchan    Serpent    chicchan    Serpent   coatl

   *DEATH       kimi'           Worldbridger    cimi     Afterworld   miquiztli    

   *Stuart and others interpret kimi' as "DEATH".  Death per-se in cultural mythology is usually depicted as being located symbolically in the West, sometimes 'beyond a river', where the sun-sets down to rest and dreams. One does not actually physically "experience" ones own physical death, except to be finally "out of the body", so to speak. So, I chose to use the word "DREAM."  One cannot kill energy, one only changes form; that is a law of physics, so you are safe! DR. JOSÉ ARGÙELLES used the term "World-Bridger", but the DREAM does bridge the two worlds of the physical and spiritual. Dream life is unexplainably REAL to all living beings, when one is dreaming. The Mayan calendar is a calendar of spiritual life, and transformation (death) is just a change of form on a long journey. Dream on.

   MONKEY     chuwen     Monkey   chuen       Monkey   ozomatli

   STAIRS        eb'            *Human     eb            Dry Grass   malinalli

      *The origin of the word "HUMAN" reveals that "HU" is a pagan name for Satan. So, the word "Hu-man" is actually demonic in origin; whereas the origin of the word "Man" is a biblical name for the offspring of Eve. So, the word and meaning of "Man-kind" is now more-clear to us. (Hu-man-Rites & Hu-man-Rights vs. Man-kind-Rights).

   FLINT      etz'nab'         Mirror      etznab         Flint            tecpatl

  *STORM   kawak           Storm      cauac          Fire-Rain     quiahuitl

    *Dr. Stuart interprets kawak as "STORM", which I realized is too 'destructive' a word, so I chose a more inclusive yet powerful word:  NATURE.  This daysign is just before the last daysign, and so symbolizes a combination of all the elements of NATURE flowing into the final daysign.

The 20 mayan daysign names are generally considered to be known.  Any other key words to help explain them are subjective.

There are disagreements about symbol 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 daysigns, 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 codice-books the 20 day signs are sometimes grouped together into four sets.

The four sets of daysigns 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 daysigns are:  Night, Star, Reed, Flint.

As seen on the Aztec Calemdar Stone inner ring below, the four Year-Bearer daysigns 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 above, the inner circle of the 20 daysigns using the Mayan names for the symbols  is one of the four larger triangular 'gates' above the last daysign LORD ajaw and the first daysign WATER LILY CREATURE imix.

The LORD gives birth to All Creation 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 DREAM (death).

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 MONKE 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 GUARDIAN angel rising up.

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

Once again at the top mid-day 'Summer' South GATE-keeper is the LORD
to re-birth All Creation CREATUREs.

From CREATURE to LORD, every 20 days.

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

       The yellow daysigns initiate each four-day cycle. 

       The red daysigns shape what was initiated.

       The white daysigns multiply what was shaped.

        And the blue daysigns ripen what was multiplied.

  

So, each of the daysigns have relationships by COLOR. 

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