2 Toj (4th October 2021)

2 TojIf there was ever a day of selfless acts it would be 2 Toj, as both Toj and energy of the number 2 have elements of self sacrifice. Whilst Toj implies payment on behalf of the community, the 2 particularly highlights relationships.

The nawal Toj can act as a barometer of our energy. If we fall out of harmony, within our family, relationships and community, it is sometimes the nawal Toj which brings us a message in the form of an illness to remind us that we have debts to pay. These debts may be a stagnation of energy, where we have taken something without exchange, and may be resolved through simple acts within our community which keep us healthy and keep the cycle of energy moving. In this way, Toj can be seen as one kind of healing day, where that healing may be effected through our selfless actions, or through our offerings within ceremony.

The number two can highlight polarities, in one way representing relationships, but in another, also drawing on polar aspects of the nawal it is attached to. This generally makes the days carrying the number 2 stronger than would be expected. The polarities of Toj may be both paying back, and collecting debts. Collection of debts may not be the most pleasant of activities, but it allows others a channel to bring themselves back into balance. This could be a day to remind others of what may be owed, as well as paying back our own debts. We keep the wheel of energy turning and as a result keep ourselves healthy.

On the most pleasant side of this energy, it could be a great day to spend time doing something special on behalf of someone you love, especially if you need to restore balance in a relationship. That said, especially today, random acts of kindness towards your family, community or even complete strangers may go a long way to paying off any karmic debt you might have incurred. If in doubt, give freely and unconditionally, even if the recipient is unaware of your actions.

The nawal Toj represents offerings and payment. It is part of the name Tojil, a Mayan god who gave fire to the people, although this was not a free gift. Tojil asked in return for sacrifice to be made. This is a day of payment and sacrifice, a day to resolve debts, both in the physical and spiritual realms. Toj is the nawal of the sacred fire, and it is to the fire that we make offerings in order to burn away what would commonly be known as karmic debts. In this way we restore balance, we bring our accounts back to zero.

Toj carries with it a form of divine protection, which is enhanced through selfless acts. These acts might involve a sacrifice of our time or energy in order to strengthen our community. We can choose to act or we can choose to ignore, but be aware – ignoring an opportunity to make a payment on a Toj day might bring a ill fortune, the removal of the protection. Payment should be made with an open heart, thanks might not be quickly forthcoming, and may not come at all. Your sacrifice could be  something as simple as picking up litter in your neighbourhood, it doesn’t have to be something elaborate.

The number 2 is representative of duality, of polarity. Although it is a low number it has surprising strength as it is said to be able to call upon both aspects or polarities of what it is attached to. It is said to be the number of lovers, it signifies relationships and self-sacrifice. Whilst it can lend itself to mediation, seeing both sides of the story, it also can be indecisive.
