"Light is the ultimate source of life. Born of the sun and the stars, Light cannot be seen yet illuminates all else. It exists both as waves and as particles, and is the fastest elemental force in the universe. It sets the standard and the benchmark for physical law and for technologies that rely on speed. Light gives all of itself and asks nothing in return, an ever-flowing source of inspiration and insight, truth and clarity, art and creativity. It guides our spirit, infuses us with joy, and challenges us to take the highest path. Like the values and truths it embodies, Light allows for no excuses, no weaknesses, no failures of character or ability. While clouds on Earth and in our soul may dampen the strength, brilliance, and color of the light we see or feel, Light remains, always, the purest expression of itself and all that it illuminates …

Your challenge this trecena of Ahau is to purify your own inner light so that the path you travel may be clear and apparent … Rather than allowing ego, fear, insecurity, or other toxic emotions or traits steer you down the wrong path, seek the higher road, let the light of your soul illuminate the specific situation you face -- and have the courage to stand up to it, resolve it, conquer whatever fears, anxieties or harm it is causing you" (Birgitte Rasine in The Serpent and the Jaguar, p. 154-55).

"Real power comes from true respect. Not fear, not admiration or worship, not envy or insecurity. In modern society, many public and private figures carry an aura of apparent respect that in fact stands on weak foundation: just think how easily a politician falls when it's discovered he's had an affair or has misappropriated public funds, how quickly a media celebrity goes out of favor once their sales start to sag. We are learning not to respect, but to want -- we are taught to desire fame, money, status, influence, power -- and eternal youth. These are the values celebrated by our media and our leaders. Respect for ourselves, for one another and our planet doesn't seem to have a seat at the table. This needs to change if we are going to live in a stable, sustainable and equitable world.
​
This trecena, your challenge is to find your strength ... [This] means developing a stable, objective sense of self-respect, without the arrogance, judgement, and ego that often hang on to our psyches ... It means basing your sense of self and identity on your own thoughts and observations, not those of others. This applies to both negative and positive input -- whether someone criticizes or insults you, or praises and supports you. Your self-respect needs to be independent and free of external influence, for only then can you begin to extend true respect to others. And that's where true power is born. It's quiet and understated, but will last you a lifetime.

Respect who you are and what you do. Respect your talents and skills, respect the role you play in your family and society, and the legacy you will leave behind to future generations. Respect yourself, and live that respect through every pore of your being" (Birgitte Rasine in The Serpent and the Jaguar, p. 145).

"When you connect to your source, remember that this too is your own soul this primal, unspoken, ancient energy that underpins our individual and collective consciousness. Here, no ego, no judgement, no self-doubt or fear exist, for these mindsets are far too close to the surface of our human emotions to have any impact on the ancient archetypes, the elemental currents underlying life itself. Just as the deep ocean breathes unperturbed by the commotions at the water's surface high above, so  the ancient energies of Ix cycle deep and strong through generation after generation regardless of the petty skirmishes that take up so much of our time" (Birgitte Rasine in The Serpent and the Jaguar, p. 135).

~ ACTIVE LISTENING FROM THE HEART ~ OPEN TO RECEIVE ~

"Everything that we do and think, every aspect of our personal and family life, culture, politics, profession, nationality, race, and religion, is relative. It all depends on how we handle situations, people, and concepts that are foreign or different from what we're used to. Some of us welcome the strange, the unusual, the new; some of us prefer the comfort of predictability and familiarity even if it's not always the best thing for us and our personal development … As its mutable essence percolates through this next trecena, focus on strengthening your creative spirit and the power of your mind, and dive into the vast ocean of ideas, concepts, dreams, and possibilities that Imix blasts open" (Birgitte Rasine in The Serpent and the Jaguar, p. 125). ​

What does the word  A B U N D A N C E  bring to mind for you?
An abundance mindset is a choice …   

"Take these next thirteen days to enjoy and celebrate the abundance in your life, without guilt, without hesitation: celebrate who you are, what you bring to this world and your loved ones, and what your loved ones and the world around you, in turn bring to you. Let us remember what true abundance really is: not money or fame, and its not power or influence. Abundance is life in its breathtaking diversity of forms and colors. Abundance is the unfathomable volumes of sunlight, water, air, and nutrients that cycle throughout the biosphere. Abundance is a rich harvest that leaves plenty of fruits, vegetables, and grain for the next season or to share with your neighbors. Abundance is an endlessly overflowing fountain of joy, elation, and happiness that never dries up and never asks for anything in return. Abundance is that nobility of spirit that keeps no score and no grudges, a spirit completely content and free of toxic emotions and thoughts.

Abundance is the natural state of the planet -- and humanity" (Birgitte Rasine in The Serpent and the Jaguar, p. 114-15). 

Consciously following along a Wavespell is a potent tool for connecting with the 13:20 Natural Timing Frequency … ​

​It is important that you make your own meaning of the information below, and REMEMBER, especially if you are new to this way of making meaning, to allow the sense to come naturally without force or dismissal due to lack of immediate understanding. Find loving acceptance for wherever you may be on your evolutionary journey. Open to the intuitive guidance of your heart-knowing to decipher the symbolic messages on a deeper level than simply the words themselves, which, too, are only made up of symbols... VIBRATIONS.

​Pay attention to the feelings, or memories, etc. that come up for you & as your understanding unfolds over Time ~ the realization of the synchronous nature of events that permeates your life will blow you away!

This is the Trecena of Vision... Learning to see with our senses beyond the physical eyes ~ seeing with a sort of inner vision ~ is an ability available to us all. It does require one to find discipline and strength within. With MEN, the Blue Eagle, we soar to great heights to receive the gifts of viewing ourselves from a broader perspective. It is from here that we co-create our future in alignment with perfect timing to receive all that we need for our journey to fulfilling our mission and purpose on our Return Path to the Stars! All we have to do is REMEMBER. 

​~ PERCEIVING THE BIGGER PICTURE FROM AN EXPANDED VIEWPOINT ~

"This day sign embodies vision, clarity, perception and profound understanding ... In our fast-paced, stressed society where being busy and having a top flight career is prized far above health and family, where success is defined by material wealth and personal status, there is little room for what truly matters. Modern society is built upon control and influence — the media, the economy, the political system, organized religion, even workplace and our own families can be extremely limiting. But we can change that. We can rearrange our schedules, redefine and re-establish our priorities, and insist on a choice, regardless of what our bosses, colleagues, peers — and yes, even our own families — may say. The only things keeping us from making choices we want to make, at the end of the day, are fear, uncertainty, and the force of habit...

But this trecena is about vision, not action. So take these thirteen days to clear your sight and your perspective, work through where you want your life's path to take you, or where it is already taking you, and prepare to take action in due time" (Birgitte Rasine in The Serpent and the Jaguar, p. 105).

White Wind Wavespell is characterized by IK who represents the Power of Spirit & the Essence of Breath, as in the breath of life!
​
Thought vibrations gain more Power when they are transmuted through the Human Being into words, communication ... which rides the breath ~ LIFE FORCE. Beyond the verbal or written word,  body language & eye contact also present forms of vibrational communication. 

"This trecena is not the time ofr control or rules. It is a time of fluidity, experimentation, and open-mindedness. It's not a coincidence that the purer the mind and spirit and the healthier your body, the more clear and powerful your ability to communicate. Be one with the Wind, and experience a different kind of freedom!" (Birgitte Rasine in The Serpent and the Jaguar, p. 95).

As time unfolds, the truth woven throughout the fabric of reality is being revealed ... Are you paying attention?

Everything begins with thought ~ our thoughts possess vibration, which in turn has effect on the water of our bodies & thus our overall environment. How we relate and respond is our choice to make, with careful consideration of the possible outcomes. 

"This trecena, strive to achieve complete and total balance, equilibrium, and harmony. Regardless of how close you actually get to this goal, it is the intention and the journey that bring the greatest benefit, for in setting these states of grace as your horizon, you open your soul to their healing, calming energies ... Resist the urge to right wrongs done to you ... Flow instead with a higher spiritual current: stay with the energy of forgiveness that the previous trecena imparted to you, and continue to learn to forgive and let go, and release yourself from the binding, toxic energies of revenge and retribution" (Birgitte Rasine in The Serpent and the Jaguar, p. 84-5).

In my personal practice, I find connection with this work by building each day's  Dreamspell 'Fifth Force Oracle,' or Energy Signature, with The Mayan Oracle deck of cards ~ as part of my practice, I voice the verses below on each corresponding day three times out loud to call in the archetypal forces. Keeping this up as a disciplined practice provides the space to notice the intricate level of synchronicity sprinkled throughout ordinary life. 

The CIB Wavespell, also called the Trecena of Wisdom & Forgiveness, is special to me because in my Fifth Force Oracle the Warrior holds the place of my Occult Kin/Hidden Power. At the core of this energetic archetype is Fearlessness and the souls of our Ancestors, their wisdom is accessible when we tap this energy. Forgiveness takes Fearlessness, it helps to remember we have the support of our Ancestral lines behind us. CIB is represented by Owl medicine/totem.

"Forgiveness carries with it a vast ocean of powerful forces: love, respect, integrity, honor, compassion, understanding, and empathy. Until you are able to forgive, fully, completely, and unconditionally, until you are able to stop seeking vengeance or revenge, you are not truly free" (Birgitte Rasine in The Serpent and the Jaguar, p. 74-5). 

AKBAL / Blue Night Wavespell: the trecena of Potential ~
"Fulfilling your potential is really a matter of awareness, of acceptance, of letting go. To be aware is to know yourself fully, on all levels and in all aspects of your being; for without awareness you cannot begin to understand your true potential. To accept is to love you and who you are, without preconditions, judgements or comparisons, and to extend this love to others no matter how stinging their criticisms of you, no matter how sharp their tongues, no matter how intolerant their views, for they in turn may not yet be ready to accept and love themselves. To let go is to respect and trust in yourself and your chosen lifepath... in times of despair, uncertainty, or fear, remember that fulfilling your potential is both the toughest and the simplest thing you'll ever do" (An excerpt from The Serpent and the Jaguar by Birgitte Rasine, pg 65 ~ emphasis added is our own).
