Tzolkin

Circle of Time

The ancient Maya, who are revered as master timekeepers, created a calendar whose accuracy has not slipped one day in over twenty-five centuries. This circular representation of a portion of that tradition -called the Tzolkin, or sacred round- is based on a count of 260 days. As the illustration shows, twenty of these days are named and they each have 13 facets.

Pulling this card reminds you to consider how time is affecting your life. Are you engaging time as a wave that nurtures, allowing segments for deep relaxation and personal development? Or have you become enslaved to time, finding barely enough opportunity to get the essentials of survival in order? Take a brief moment to view your relationship to this circle of time and the hopes and dreams you place within the circle of your life experience.

View this card as representing a signpost of cosmic order, a reminder that your time in the physical world is yours to orchestrate. Let time become a measure of joy, growth, and freedom that passes through your days and nights.
