Mayan Majix Announcement for 1 Offering (Muluc)

Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Muluc (Water/Offering)

Day 209 of the 260 Day Tzolkin

Gregorian Date: December 21, 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 Muluc – Water/Offering – Emotional, Imaginative, Intuitive, Vessel of
Gratitude, Essence of Life, Offering Gratitude for Water and Life.

The Mayan word Muluc means “something that is gathered up or collected” referring to rain
clouds collecting in the sky before a storm. The “cloud terrace” motif was used by the ancient
cultures of Mexico , Hopi and Pueblo in their art and was usually portrayed in the shape of a
pyramid.

According to Kenneth Johnson in Jaguar Wisdom: “The Mayans taught that the power and energy
of the rain was ‘collected’ in water pots or vases, which were kept by the Chacs, the helpers of the
rain god. During a rain, the Chacs pour forth the waters of abundance from their rain pots. The
Mayans chose a watery deity to rule over this sign: Xoc (SHOKE), the Great Fish, who is sometimes
depicted as a shark, sometimes even a whale.” You will notice the day glyph resembles a fish.

This day glyph also symbolically represented jade, a blue green stone that was precious and sacred
to the Maya. Treasures of jade have been found in the burial sites of Mayan Kings, mostly in the
form of Jade masks. Water, like jade, was precious and sacred. Water has the power to give life
or take it away. Water is used by the Maya and others as a ceremonial offering. It is especially
potent for group healing and purification, releasing negative emotions and accepting change.

Carlos Barrios in The Book of Destiny states: “The sign means Tojil, the Sun God, atonement,
offering, payment. It is the fire of the spirit of Ajaw, Heart of Sky and Heart of Earth. It is the
raindrop, the start of communication from higher life…Ceremonial fire is believed to represent
Father Sun, and it is this fire we ask to meet our needs. It is capable of curing all our illnesses
and freeing us from any negative energy. It is a day on which to make offerings to Tojil. This
day lifts us up to the same level as the supreme deity so that we can be judged benevolently.
It reconciles us with life and brings hope.”

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. In this Trecena, the crest falls on 6 Ix (Jaguar), 7 Men (Eagle)
and 8 Cib (Vulture/Owl). The Jaguar Warrior is the Underworld source of power and energy,
the midnight sun. The Eagle Warrior is the Upperworld source of power and energy, the daytime
sun. The Vulture Warrior is the karmic cleanser. This crest is offering humanity powerful forces
of energy for clearing old emotional patterns and accepting change. It is interesting to note
that the Winter Solstice 2010 falls on 1 Water. Just as the Solstice energy enables us to purify
and decide now on the seeds we want to plant for the Spring, the energy of Water also enables
us to purify, cleanse and transform.

Utilize the energy of Muluc to shower yourself and the universe with gratitude for water
and the life it creates. As Ian Xel Lungold said, it is “A good day to offer appreciation for
all creation.”
