Imix the Crocodile Glyph
According to Mayan cosmovision, a spirit world exists alongside the material world. Twenty powerful beings called "nawales" from the spirit world exert a powerful influence on people and events in this material world. Called "Lords of the Day", the nawales determine each day’s energy –- its potential, the sort of things that work best on that date. The Tzolk'in Calendar is the sacred calendar of the Maya that maps out those days. It is the calendar that predicts what the energy of each day is good for, a bit like the Farmer's Almanac. Is today good for planting, harvesting, magic, travel, taking care of your home, beginning something new, or something else entirely? Below you will find a chart that explains the potential of each day.
There are 20 days in the sacred Tzolk'in Calendar that are repeated 13 times each giving the calendar a total of 260 days. Each of the 20 Nawales (Days represented by a Lord) is preceded by a number from 1 to 13, which tells the intensity of the Nawal’s energy. For example: 2 Kawak has quiet energy, 8 Kawak is balanced, and 13 Kawak is almost too strong and a bit crazy. The 13 days make up a month called a "trecena" and each month has an over-riding energy too! Wow, it is a lot to take in! But, no worries because below you will find the basics for each of the twenty days so you can get a general idea of what each Nawal's power is all about, but to discover the specific energy for today, you can purchase the Sacred Tzolkin Daily Planner The Planner combines the power of the Day Lord of today with the intensity (number or tone) of today and the overall type of energy in this trecena (13 day month) to give you an in-depth description of how you can work with the specific energy of this day. (How cool is that!)

The Four Directions
The Spirit Winds
The four directions are one of the most important things in the Maya Cosmovision. Together they represent balance, and without finding balance, you cannot find center, and without finding center, you cannot find your place in the Universe
Ceremony of the 4 Directions
As you are going through the 20 days below, you will notice a few things. Each day is represented by a Maya Glyph that has a name. These are the names of the Nawales (also spelled Nahuales)which are the powerful beings from the Otherworld that rule over the days. The names are different in various Mayan languages and here (because I live on the Yucatan Peninsula) I am using the Yucatec names for the days. Beneath the Mayan names you will find their English totems. You will also notice that there is a "direction" associated with each day. The directions are very important because each direction has a different vibe, or different type of energy. Here are the four directions with their Yucatec Mayan names, their colors (red, white, black, and yellow, the colors of the corn) and their energies. We begin in the east where the sun rises and then follow the path of the sun.
Lak'in the East is beginnings and passion. It's energy is that of unity and its color is red.
Xaman (shaman) the North is clarity, transparency and truth. Its energy is diminishing and its color is white.
Chik'in the West is cooperation and change. Its energy is adjusting and duality and its color is black.
Nohol the South is endings, death, and harvest. Its energy is increasing and harvest and its color is yellow
As you move through the directions and their energies, keep in mind that the goal is to bring balance. Finding your CENTER is of utmost importance. Without a strong center, you become unbalanced and out of rhythm with the universe and it is impossible to live in harmony with it. (Note: The color of the center is either green or blue green and the candles placed in the center in Maya rituals are these colors.)
