ceremony of forgiveness

7 Ajmak (12th February 2025)

7 AjmakToday allows us to forgive once and for all both others and ourselves. Muster your energy, take a deep breath and release.  It is the day to let any harmful feelings go and enjoy the sweetness that returns.

Today, the nawal Ajmak, signifying pardon and forgiveness combines with the number 7 representing finality and closure. This can be the day to draw a line under past issues.

There comes a time when we just have to “drop it.” We cannot continue walking our path if we are laden with burdens of guilt or blame. We are humans, we make mistakes, and some of us make more than others. These mistakes are how we learn, they are part of why we are here. We have to learn to accept ourselves and each other for who we are, in all our glorious (and messy) humanity. Ajmak highlights the power of redemption, the ability to be forgiven and to forgive. However, is it done in totality, or is it just lip service to an idea? Can you really reset to neutrality, or will there always be something hanging around?

This may not be easy, the number 7 is also said to represent the seven shames. When combined with Ajmak it may truly represent the greatest of affronts. After all we are within the trecena of Tz’i, the time to embrace the state of unconditional love and trust.

I’m sorry

Please forgive me

Thank You 

I love you

Nawal Ajmak

Ajmak is the nawal of pardon and forgiveness, the nawal of redemption. It is the energy of being human, of falling and getting back up again and giving those chances to others. When the creators fashioned the four first men, the Bacab’ob, they created them as equals. These four first humans had superhuman abilities, including the ability to see through space and time. As equals were not desired, the gods smoked the mirror of perception, giving us our human set of senses. When we lost the ability to see through time, we lost the ability to see the true consequences of our actions and thus we needed to start asking for forgiveness.

Sometimes even well-meaning actions can cause problems at a later date. Ajmak represents this ability to forgive others, the ability to forgive ourselves and the ability to accept forgiveness. Ajmak is a sensual energy, which creates some of the reasons for its needing to be forgiven. It is kind and very lovable, but irresponsible. It can be a very talented energy, with great ideas. However, it can also be very easily distracted, especially by anything that makes it feel nice. This often leads Ajmak to fail to fulfil its true potential, although due to its lovable nature it is easy to forgive. One of the lessons with regard to the Ajmak energy is learning to forgive oneself.

The Number Seven

If we imagine the numbers 1 through 13 as a pyramid, the number seven would be at the top. Seven is the number of balance, it gives the ability to weigh up situations and see all points of view. While this may be very noble, it may lead to indecision.

However, it is also known as a number of death and endings, which would seem strange as it is only half way through. It is another representation of the change of state of the soul, showing half of the journey (1-6) in the mortal world and half (8-13) in the otherworld. As such it can be a great number on which to finalise or end something.

  1. I so much appreciate reading and -being guided- by your daily descriptions of the energy of the day. Could you please speak more about the seven shames?
    Thank you so much for your work

  2. I learnt today that seven spiraling streams of the pluroma, Sophia, twisted as she cast herself down to become Earth. These aspects spiraled down to become 7 Kingdoms. Creating human, animal, plant and mineral, and three lower Elemental Kingdoms. At the descent, She wound around, biting her tail. She began to re-assend and the motions, like the 13 nawals, began moving up to create six more. The human being stands at the middle, at 7. Each of these spiraling seven strings carries an aspect of humanity, six important attributes, and the 7th, representing the synthesis.

  3. The seven shames are connected to Wucub Kakix (seven macaw). He identified himself as the light of the world and puffed himself up in his own magnificence, embodying many things that post of us would find unappealing at least! The seven shames, according to Kenneth Johnson are: excessive pride, (excessive) ambition, envy, lying, criminal activity, ingratitude and ignorance. Wucub Kakix and his sons Zipacna and Cabrakan were defeated by the hero twins, Junajpu and Xbalanque, as part of the quest given to them by the Heart of the Sky.
