The Trecena of Ajpu gives us the inspiration to begin the quest for the divine nature within each one of use, to embark on our heroic journey.
My 2023 calendar is now available. The calendar shows the days of the Chol Q’ij, formatted onto the Gregorian calendar. This year it is available electronically as a pdf in both English and Spanish. Printed versions, in English, are now beginning to run low, but you may be able to still find a copy locally here in Guatemala, in Lava Love Cacao in San Marcos. See this link for details on how to get your pdf https://thefourpillars.net/?page_id=9580 If you are the more technically minded I have created a plugin for Google calendar which will enable you to track the days of the sacred calendar on your smartphone. I am currently updating it so that it will also give a summary of the energy of the day. In this way you can ensure that your activities are aligned to the most conducive energies! It is available for purchase here.
Within the village of San Pablo la Laguna, there is an organisation doing great work. They are called ODIM and are specialising in medical and educational services. During the pandemic restrictions, they helped feed many people, but this is in addition to their regular, long term work there. You can find out more about them through this link https://tinyurl.com/yb4l3rux
Popol Jay is an ancient name to define the House of the Council of Elders, among the Maya of Guatemala. These were places of wisdom where sacred knowledge about medicine, the calendars, music, spiritual practice and more was kept and passed to future generations. All were burnt down during the Conquest and subsequent Colonization periods. Today, the Q’eqchi’ Maya Council of Elders Releb’aal Saq’e has joined forces with many supporters to rebuild the Popol Jay of the North, in the lowlands of the Petén region, heart of the Maya culture of the Classic Period. The Elders have worked hard to acquire land and co-design this Center of Knowledge to share ancient wisdom with the World.

Saqarik my friend,
Super beautiful opening to this flower of Jun Ajpu 🌞. As always your understanding of these energies helps in my attunement. Thank you.
As it happens, this morning I am on my heros journey to Guatemala, a reflowering it feels. 9 Q’anil is in my right conception and I just am incredibly humbled for the good fortune which has given me so much.
My schedule after spending most of the week in Antigua and seeing Denise will then turn towards Chichi and surrounds. Fairly open with a shared house with my Aj’qij friend Blake until a return north on 9 Ajpu.
I hope to enjoy your company in person somewhere in this journey.
Much love and gratitude,
Eric
Hi Eric, thank you for your kind words. I’m not in Guatemala right now, on my travels again. I hope you have a wonderful journey there 🙂
