Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Road (Eb)

Day 92 of the 260 Day Tzolkin

August 26, 2010

Year Bearer:  11 Manik

 

Trecenas are thirteen-day periods in the Tzolkin. Each Trecena starts with the Number 1, but with
a different Day Glyph. As a wave of the Thirteen Heavens, the underlying energy is governed by the
First Day Glyph of the Trecena and influences all thirteen successive Day Glyphs. Being aware of the predominant energy of the First Day of the Trecena, we can align our intentions with that energy
and allow our goals to manifest.

 

This Trecena starts with 1 Eb (Road/Grass) Abundance, Growth, Harvest, Vital Energy, Conductor
of Destiny, Spiral Ladder of Life.

 

Road energy symbolizes the vital dew of heaven –

Blood lightning that connects our physical being to our spiritual being.

When you are climbing the pyramid of true destiny,

You’ll feel this energy of connection in your heart.

 

To the Ancient Maya, Eb energy symbolized the ladder that God made to descend from heaven to
earth. The Maya called the energy connecting every living being to heaven “Itz” or “dew from
heaven.” Climbing this ladder (symbolized by a pyramid) through the Thirteen Underworlds to
Heaven was the spiritual path that all must travel. Thus Eb energy became known as the “Road
of Life”.

Road Energy also represents the vital spirit of life known to Ancient cultures by many different names: prana, chi, qi, life essence, mallinali, dew of heaven, blood lightning. This energy is present
in all creation and is the vital force that drives consciousness. According to Kenneth Johnson in
Jaguar Wisdom, “…this day-sign is a symbol of the vital energy and power that propels us along
the Road of Life, as well as of the Road itself.”

 

Another representation of the Trecena is that of a creative wave beginning at 1 and ending at 13, with
the numbers 6, 7 and 8 representing the crest of the wave. The crest could be interpreted as a strong
influential energy, although the underlying influence on the Trecena would still rest in the beginning.
This Trecena crests on 6 Caban (Earth), synchronizing our heart with Earth’s natural rhythms;
7 Etznab ( Flint ), the reflection – the choices we make; 8 Cauac (Storm), activation – purification –
gathering energies within.  As we move through these accelerated times, logic cannot keep up with
the multitude and speed of changes. It is important not only to stay grounded but also to listen to
your heart and let your intuition guide you on your journey. Your true destiny is designed to be
revealed when you follow your heart.

Utilize the energy of Eb to open your heart and allow intuition to guide your choices while
climbing the Spiral Ladder of Life.
