1 – Toj (Muluc)
by Kenneth Johnson
1 – Toj (Muluc) – Today the new trecena begins. The word toj literally means “payment” or “an offering,” with the understanding that we are making payment and offerings to the spiritual world.

The site, known as Aguada Fénix, is the “oldest and largest monumental architecture in the Maya area” and is larger than many ancient cities in Mesoamerica, the researchers wrote in the study. Although its construction was a major endeavor, its cultural significance, likely motivated people to help construct it, meaning its builders were probably not coerced into labor, the researchers suggested.
In effect, building Aguada Fénix may have been a celebrated communal activity for ancient people, just like Stonehenge likely was in prehistoric…Click here to read article.
