What is the Mayan Calendar?
If you type "Mayan 13 Moon Calendar" in the Google search bar, a whole row of search results will usually pop up showing "The 13 Moon Calendar is derived from the ancient calendar used by the Mayans ......" But, how much do you know about this ancient calendar?
"The Mayan Calendar is a system of calendars used by the Mayan people that dates back to 3114 BC, more than 5,000 years ago. The entire calendar is divided into three parts: the Zolkin Calendar, the Habu Calendar, and the Long Calendar.
Similar to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, which are familiar to Taiwanese, the Zolkin and Habu calendars are combined with each other to form a cycle of fifty-two years. Each time the cycle passes, the same combination of calendars is repeated.
Zoll Gold Calendar
"The Zolkin Calendar is now generally recognized as a predominantly religious calendar whose logic has nothing to do with astronomical or natural cycles.
This calendar consists of 20 calendar characters and 13 numerals to form a 260-day calendar, with a total of 260 characters. Each character has a corresponding meaning, so the character corresponding to each birthday can also be used to analyze the child's possible future career and life development, and is generally considered to have both prophetic and divinatory functions.
Habu calendar
"The Habu Calendar is the solar calendar used by the Maya and is the basis of the Farmer's Calendar. There are twenty days in a month and eighteen months in a year, and the remaining five days are called "Wayeb'" and form a complete year of 365 days.
During Wayeb', the boundary between the human world and the netherworld disappears, and evil spirits from the netherworld come to the human world to wreak havoc. Therefore, the Mayans would deliberately minimize going out on these five days and perform religious rituals to avoid calamities.
Is the Mayan Armageddon real?
Since the cyclical calendar consisting of the Zolkin and Habu calendars could not keep track of longer time axes, in order to avoid confusion, the Mayans then invented the "Long Chronological Calendar", which started on August 11, 3114 B.C. One day was called 1 Kin, every 20 Kin was 1 Winal, every 18 Winal was 1 Tun, every 20 Tun was 1 K'atun, and every 20 K'atun constituted 1 Bak'tun. Every 20 Kin is 1 Winal, every 18 Winal is 1 Tun, every 20 Tun is 1 K'atun, and every 20 K'atun constitutes 1 Bak'tun. The end of this calendar is the last day of the 13th Bak'tun, which we know as the prophecy of the end of days - December 2012. December.
However, the Mayan Calendar's understanding of 2012 is not "doomsday", but rather a time of rebirth and new beginnings. This is the reason for the rumors of the "end of the world prophecy" that we often hear on the news that year.
"What is the difference between the Mayan Calendar and the Mayan 13th Lunar Calendar?
The Mayan 13th Lunar Calendar is derived from José Argüelles. He was an artist and researcher in the arts, and after obtaining his doctorate, he taught at various universities. It wasn't until he met his third wife, Lloydine, that the two of them completed a calendar divination system called "Dreamspell" in the 1980s, taking into account the Mayan calendar, shamanic beliefs, the I Ching, and messages from the Galactic Civilization such as Sirius.
Therefore, first of all, we need to have a concept: although the Mayan 13th Moon Calendar references the Mayan Calendar, the Mayan 13th Moon Calendar has not really appeared in the historical records of the Mayan civilization for more than 5,000 years.
The Mayan 13th Lunar Calendar consists of 20 totems and 13 tones that make up the 260 seals: one totem plus one tone forms one seal. If you look up your own Mayan calendar, you will see a chart of five seals. The day we were born has a primary seal in the center, surrounded by four seals of guidance, support, challenge, and hidden motivation.
Maya 13 What is the significance of the totems and tones in the lunar calendar?
Many people who come across the Mayan 13th Lunar Calendar for the first time are confused: what are the "totems" and "tonalities"?
This goes back to José, the grandfather of the Mayan 13th Lunar Calendar. After completing the calendar, he attached a few keywords to each totem, which served as the original definition of the totem, and later interpreters were able to choose their own way of interpreting the keywords. Therefore, even for the same totem and the same keywords, different interpreters would have their own set of logic.
The twenty totems can be divided into five groups according to their colors, with four colors in a cycle: red, white, blue, and yellow. Each color has its own corresponding energy and cycle, and most of the totems are taken from specific, associative scenes, such as the red dragon, blue storm, yellow star, and the white dog .......
The thirteen tones represent different qualities. This is partly a reference to the thirteen numbers of the Zolkin Calendar, which assigns thirteen tones to each totem, and each tone has its own corresponding animal symbol, and the characteristics of different animals extend to different traits. The thirteen tones form a wave symbol, which means cycle and flow.
