  • 9 Tz’ikin ~ Vision, Prosperity & Spiritual Communication

    As the first full day of our 2026 gathering, 9 Tz’ikin invites us to open our minds, hearts, and spirits to a higher vision. Just as the Eagle rises above the world to see with clarity, this day calls us to lift our perspective and align ourselves with the greater purpose of why we have come together.

  • Under 9 Tz’ikin, we rise in clarity, in purpose, and in the shared intention to dream a new world into being. The energy of Tz’ikin, the Nawal of fortune, productivity, luck, spiritual communication, vision, dreams, and the sacred messengers of the sky — the Eagle, the Condor, and the Quetzal.

    According to Maya tradition, Tz’ikin represents the intermediary, the one who carries prayers and messages between Heaven and Earth. It is born from the movement of Air and the mastery of flight. On this day, the winged ones remind us of the importance of beauty, freedom, clear communication, and spiritual wealth.

    The force of the number 9 — associated with the divine feminine and the weaving of destiny — magnifies Tz’ikin’s gifts and invites us to remember that our greatest fortune is the simple miracle of being alive. It teaches us that we are prosperous when we honor the true value of friendship, community, and the sacred elements of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water.

    Tz’ikin is the bearer of seeds, carrying both material and spiritual abundance. It teaches us to cultivate our own dreams rather than desire what others possess. It reminds us that happiness blooms when we follow our calling, honor our gifts, and walk our own path of purpose.

    The Elders say that on Tz’ikin days, humanity once understood the language of birds. They told us where the sacred corn grew and revealed the secrets of abundance. This is why Tz’ikin is the Nawal of good fortune — not luck in the superficial sense, but the deeper prosperity that comes from connection, clarity, and spiritual alignment.

    • Strengthen our ability to communicate across cultures and worlds

    • Honor the winged ones who carry prayers and blessings

    As we begin our sacred sessions, teachings, songs, and prayers, we step into a woven lineage of messengers who have guided humanity since time immemorial. Each Elder, each Wisdom Keeper, each participant becomes part of this circle of vision and blessings.

    • Offering gratitude and prayer for the vision of our past, present, and future

DAY 2 ~ SATURDAY, NOV 14

  • 10 Ajmaq - Forgiveness, Harmony & Ancestral Healing

    As we enter Day 2 of Guardians of the Sacred, we step into a field of healing, reconciliation, and expansion. Under the energy of 10 Ajmaq, we are asked to come back into right relationship with ourselves, with each other, with our lineages, and with Mother Earth.

    Ajmaq Arrives To Help:

    • Heal emotional and generational wounds

    • Release burdens we no longer need to carry

    • Restore harmony within our relationships

    • Clear the path for expansion of mind, spirit, and community

    • Reconnect with the Ancestors and seek their guidance

    • Honor our word and speak with truth and gentleness

    Forgiveness is not easy. When we ask for forgiveness, we open ourselves with humility, acknowledging our imperfections. When we forgive others, we offer a powerful gift — sometimes greater than anything else we could give. It soothes, heals, & brings life back into balance.

    10 Ajmaq teaches that today is a day to ask Mother Earth for forgiveness for the harm humanity has caused, knowingly or unknowingly. It is also a day to ask for wisdom so we do not repeat the mistakes of the past.

  • On this day, we are touched by the sacred energy of (10) Ajmaq, the Nawal of forgiveness, harmony, expansion, ancestral connection, and the sweetness of healing. Ajmaq teaches us that forgiveness — whether asked for or offered — opens the way for transformation. It is the medicine that softens the heart, clears the mind, and restores the balance between ourselves, our ancestors, our communities, and Mother Earth.

    In Maya tradition, Ajmaq is symbolized by the bee, whose honey carries the blessing of sweetness, renewal, and healing. Bees move gently from flower to flower, pollinating life itself. So too does Ajmaq remind us to walk gently through the world, to repair what has been broken, and to bring harmony to our relationships.

    The number 10 represents community, family, and the weaving together of energies. Together, 10 Ajmaq invites us to expand our consciousness, kneel humbly before the Creator and Shaper, and reconnect with our Ancestors through prayer, meditation, and deep listening.

    • Pray for harmony and healing

    • Call in the Ancestors for guidance and renewal

    • Release emotional burdens and past wounds

    • Offer forgiveness and seeks forgiveness

    • Learn from Wise Elders how to walk the path of reconciliation

    • Open the heart to sweetness, compassion, and understanding

    Under 10 Ajmaq, we enter this day with humility, courage, and the shared intention to heal ourselves and our world, one act of forgiveness at a time. Just as the bee pollinates life, our gathering today spreads blessings from one heart to another — creating a collective field of peace, expansion, and renewal.

    • Forgiving yourself and asking forgiveness from others

    • Honoring your mistakes and learning from them

    • Praying for wisdom and clarity

    • Honoring the sacred Ancestors (“our first Grandparents”)

    • Speaking truthfully and with intention

    • Apologizing for the mistakes of previous generations and breaking generational patterns

    • Releasing harmful habits and seeking healing

    • Cleansing the aura and harmonizing your energy

    • Expanding your consciousness through prayer and meditation

    • Bringing peace and balance to your home, relationships, and community

DAY 3 ~ SUNDAY, NOV 15

  • 11 No'j - Wisdom, Clarity & Sacred Understanding

    As we arrive at the final day of Guardians of the Sacred 2026, the energy of 11 No’j wraps around us like a mantle of clarity.

    11 No’j brings the culmination of movement, ideas, and understanding. It reminds us that learning is sacred, that each prayer and story we received holds medicine, and that we must now walk with intention, intelligence, and heart.

    No'j Represents:

    • The wisdom given by Ajaw, the Creator and Shaper

    • The knowledge gained from personal experience

    • Cosmic intelligence flowing into human understanding

    • The seven cognitive capacities (Reason, Attention, Perception, Memory, Comprehension, Logic, Intuition)

    • The mind’s ability to create solutions and shape our future

    • The decision-making power of councils and Elders

    • The movement of the celestial vault and the shaking of the Earth

    No’j teaches that wisdom is meant to be shared. Each being carries only a piece of the cosmic light; only in community do we become whole. This day reminds us to remain humble, noble, and willing to learn, for the world is a vast classroom, and every experience is a teacher.

  • On this day, the Grandmothers and Grandfathers bless us with the guiding force of 11 No’j, the Nawal of wisdom, intelligence, ideas, clarity of mind, and the sacred counsel of the Elders. No’j is the energy that brings understanding — not only through study or intellect, but through the deep knowing that comes from experience, intuition, and communion with the Creator and Shaper.

    No’j is symbolized by the woodpecker, the one who taps persistently until truth is revealed. It governs the brain, the cerebellum, our thoughts, our feelings, and the capacity to transform ideas into action. Under No’j, we remember that each of us carries a portion of divine wisdom, yet none of us holds it completely. We complete one another’s understanding through relationship, community, and the sharing of life experience.

    The number 11 brings movement, intensity, and expansion. It pushes ideas forward, awakens possibilities, and helps us find solutions and new pathways. When 11 merges with No’j, we are invited to open our minds and hearts, to learn from our past, and to step into a more conscious future.

    The name No’j comes from words meaning wisdom, reason, intelligence, & discernment. In Maya understanding, No’j governs the brain and pineal gland, and this day is favorable for healing illnesses of the mind, restoring clarity, and calming mental instability.

    • Seek understanding of what our role is moving forward

    • Gather our experiences and transform them into action

    • Stand in community and remember that wisdom is a shared gift

    Today, we close this cycle with gratitude and clarity. We return to our homes carrying the wisdom of the Elders, the blessings of the land, and the shared intention to live in balance — so that we may help others, serve our communities, and walk the path of sacred understanding.
