[Maya Calendar for Lazy People] A calendar that was created before the Christian era, the Maya 13 Moon Calendar helps you understand yourself in this life

If you type "Maya 13 Moon Calendar" into the Google search bar, a whole row of search results will usually pop up showing "The 13 Moon Calendar comes from the calendar used by the ancient Mayans..." But how much do you know about this ancient calendar?

The "Maya calendar" is a calendar system used by the Mayans, and the recorded dates begin in 3114 BC, which is more than XNUMX years ago. The entire calendar is divided into three parts: the Tzolkin calendar, the Haab calendar and the Long Count calendar.

Similar to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches familiar to Taiwanese people, the Tzogchen calendar and the Haab calendar are combined to record days, forming a cycle of every 52 years. With each passing round, the same calendar combination will start over again.

Because the cyclic calendar composed of the Tzolkin and Haab calendars cannot record a longer time axis, in order to avoid confusion, the Mayans then invented the "Long Count calendar", which starts on August 3114, 8 BC. One day is called 11 Kin, every 1 Kin is 20 Winal, every 1 Winal is 18 Tun, every 1 Tun is 20 K'atun, and every 1 K'atun constitutes 20 Bak'tun. The end of this calendar is the last day of the 1th Bak'tun, which is the day we all know as the Doomsday prophecy - December 2012.

However, the Mayan calendar does not understand 2012 as the "end of the world", but rather as a year of rebirth and a new beginning. That year, we often heard news reports about "the end of the world prophecy", which were also rumors that originated from this.

The Mayan 13-moon calendar originated from José Argüelles. He is an artist who also conducts research in the field of art. After obtaining his doctorate, he taught at different universities. Until he met his third wife Lloydine, the two of them referred to the Mayan calendar, shamanism, the I Ching, and messages from galactic civilizations such as Sirius, and completed a calendar divination system "Dreamspell" in the 1980s. When it was first introduced to Taiwan, it was directly translated as "Dream Language Calendar" and later became generally known as the "Maya 13 Moon Calendar."

Therefore, first of all, everyone needs to have an idea: although the Mayan 13 Moon Calendar refers to the Mayan calendar, the "Maya 13 Moon Calendar" has never actually appeared in the historical documents of Mayan civilization for more than XNUMX years.

The Mayan 13-moon calendar consists of twenty totems and thirteen tones, forming two hundred and sixty sigils: one totem plus one tone forms a sigil. If you check your Mayan calendar, you will see a picture made up of five marks. There will be a main mark in the center on the day we are born, and the four marks surrounding it are guidance, support, challenge and hidden push.

Many people who first come into contact with the Mayan 13-Moon Calendar will be confused: So what are "totems" and "tonality"?

This story begins with Jose, the founder of the Mayan 13-moon calendar. After he completed the calendar, he attached several keywords to each totem as the original definition of the totem. Later interpreters could choose the method of interpretation from the keywords. Therefore, even if it is the same totem or the same keyword, different interpreters will have their own logic of understanding.

The twenty totems can be divided into five groups according to color, with four colors in a cycle: red, white, blue, and yellow. Each color also has its own corresponding energy and cycle, and the totems are mostly taken from clear and associative scenes, such as the red dragon, blue storm, yellow stars, white dog...

The thirteen tones represent different characteristics. This part refers to the thirteen numbers in the Tzolk'in calendar. Each totem is given thirteen tones. Each tone has its corresponding animal symbol. The characteristics of different animals extend to different traits. Therefore, people with the same tone usually have similar temperaments. Thirteen tones form a wave symbol, which means cycle and flow.

In fact, the Mayan 13 Moon Calendar is often referred to as the Western Farmer's Calendar. In addition to emphasizing going with the flow and paying attention to whether individuals live out their own destiny, it can also be used as a reference for daily life by observing today's marks. Do the elders in your family also look through the farmer’s calendar in the cupboard when deciding on weddings, funerals, celebrations, or even moving dates? The Mayan 13 Moon Calendar also has similar functions!

Each totem plus the tonality forms a mark. So after understanding that the Mayan 13-moon calendar has so many arrangements and combinations, where should I check my Mayan calendar and obtain my mark? You can search for "Maya 13 Moon Calendar" on the Internet. There are many traditional Chinese websites in Taiwan that support the Maya 13 Moon Calendar.
