The 20 Wave-Spells

 

Each calendar round of the Tzolk'in  contains 260 days, thirteen columns of the 20 Day-signs. The ancient Mayas conceived time as moving waves of 13 days each. The first day of such a 13-day Wave spell gives birth to a new cycle - like New Moon. The particular Day-sign which ignites such a 13-day period creates the original intention, the theme for the entire 13 days. The Wave spell therefore can be understood as the month you're born in. It represents the pulse of creation you consciously or unconsciously have chosen to find integration.

 

 

Red Eastern Castle

IMIX - The Sea-dragon   (1)

You've got a lot of pioneering energy, initiative and creativity. You are a true original with a strong and intense urge to nurture. You are an emotional powerhouse. Be clear with your intentions - they are going to manifest - you will find ways to make them real.

Challenge: Nurture your family, friends and pets without dominating them. This prevents you from power struggles caused by your over-protectiveness. Witness yourself and understand that others have their own perspectives and ideals to live by.

 

 

IX - The Wizard   (2)

You want to know the hidden truth, seeking for answers everywhere. Your search for life's meaning can become quite adventurous and aggressive. There is a strong urge to refine and polish your inner jewel and to express whatever you have found to be true.

Challenge: Find balance with responsibility. Don't avoid commitment, but don't drown in it either. Sacred wounds - deaths, transforming events - have sent you inward in search for truth. These are gifts from the Wizard - don't avoid them - flow with them.

 

MANIK - The Hand that Heals   (3)

You are an innovator with a multitude of ideas. Share your light and be a transformer. You are a nomad living an unconventional life-style, travelling to unusual places. Tensions between your innate desire for freedom and your basic need for security (home and family) may be a theme in your life.

AHAU - The Solar Lord   (4)

 

You are an idealist, a romantic. Your life is a process of ripening into your potentials. Attracted to a glamorous life-style you enjoy performing your personality, developing a refined ego. You can convey great visions and initiate beauty. Living up in the clouds you make poor choices, which lead to problems and disillusions.

Challenge: Bring your highly ethereal vibration down to Earth - ground yourself. Descend from the world of ideas and explore your earthly senses. Meditate and feel your body from within, allow life energy to move through you. You will become integrated and responsible for your decisions.

CAUAC - The Thunderbeing   (7)

You are seeing life from many perspectives simultaneously. Your life is a process - you are thrown back and forth - facing internal contradictions and paradoxes. You need and you don't need - want and don't want. Your need to belong creates friction with your desire for freedom and independence. Seeing too many perspectives makes it hard to find a place where you can win.

Challenge: Always find the positive perspective and anchor yourself to these views. Allow to release attachments to old concepts that were once considered truth. Give yourself a clear direction towards the spiritual realm. Out of chaos stars are born.

You are attracted to teaching, performance and presentations of all kind. You definitely love to play. You might have many interests and hobbies.

Challenge: Cut away the facades and false fronts. Be a true, authentic human being.
