Let us not forget that we are the ones who create the nets that prevent us from achieving what we wish for, so there is nothing that stops us from becoming free of them. –Denise Barrios

K’at Glyph: The glyph signifies the energy of gravity. It is represented by the sphere, trapped in the groove at the bottom, which divides the base into the two magnetic poles. –Carlos Barrios
K’at: Within its vast body of meaning, K’at signifies the Net, in all of the diversity of senses of the word: a fisherman’s net, a woven net of fruits or vegetables, a network, a spider’s web.
In addition, it is the patron of storerooms and pantries and refers to the gathering of resources; and finally, it carries the concepts of captivity, punishment, social traps, and lawsuits.
K’at is the nawal of fire, namely that which keeps a home running, and of prisons both visible and invisible, material and intangible. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
K’at—the nawal of gathering, entanglement, and liberation—ascends today with the cosmic surge of Power 13. K’at weaves tangible and intangible threads, accumulating resources, experiences, and lessons that nurture and sustain the fabric of life. Under the fulfilling force of 13, these networks and attractions reach their zenith, manifesting transmutation and opening opportunities to release or integrate what we hold. 13 K’at is a day to harvest the abundance we’ve gathered, reunite with a spiritual calling, and untangle the burdens that ensnare our minds and hearts.
Culminating the pathfinding, self-discovery theme of the E’ Trecena, the abundance of 13 K’at may reveal itself as a personal intention coming to fruition—a seed reaching its full blossom. Like K’at’s spider guardian weaving a web of exquisite symmetry, this day invites order and harmonious structure to our gathered insights, resources, and renewed connections. It is within this symmetry—each thread, each nodal point perfectly placed—that we create an enhanced environment, attracting our highest nourishment and dreams into fruition.
The untangling power of K’at, heightened by the consciousness of 13, sparks awakenings about what holds us back—fears, scarcity, or unresolved issues. With E’s influence of commerce, it highlights how excess ideas, projects, and commitments can scatter our focus. Holding on to every option or complication may now weigh us down with debt or confusion. K’at invites us to creatively free ourselves from these traps, clearing obstacles from our true path. This day expresses that maturity lies in gently untangling old patterns, freeing our energy for growth.
Ultimately, 13 K’at calls us to bring spiritual awareness to our accumulations and discern the potentials they open or close. Deepening the self-discovery of E', it invites us to notice what our mindset and choices attract—liberation or the weaving of subtle snares. 13 K’at teaches that simplicity is wisdom; as we release unnecessary complexities, the path ahead becomes unburdened. As 13 K’at’s web connects, moves, and inspires, we’re guided to form meaningful bonds, organize and co-create with purpose, weaving harmony and clarity into our daily lives and the mutual futures we spin.

The spider's meticulous and patient nature, combined with its ability to build complex, beautiful structures from its own essence, symbolizes infinite creative potential and the art of manifestation. For these reasons, the spider spirit is often invoked to aid in creative projects, to weave a new path, or to gain a deeper understanding of the patterns of one's life.
Across various Central and South American indigenous beliefs, the spider is revered for its sacred knowledge and its role as a powerful spiritual guide. In Aztec culture, spiders were sometimes linked to deities of weaving and creation, reinforcing their role as master artisans of reality.In the Amazon, the spider's geometric webs are seen as representations of sacred cosmic patterns and the complex structure of the universe.
The spider’s energy teaches the importance of both patience and precision, reminding us that we are the sole creators of our own existence. It ultimately stands as a symbol of the power to manifest, connect, and build the world we wish to inhabit.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
13 K’at K’at brings with it the suggestion of abundance, of reaping our harvest and today we have the assistance of the ancestors in this task. However, will it come at a price?
K’at is usually associated with physical abundance and quite rightly so. It is the nawal of the harvest which is physically gathered. The calendar is strongly linked to the life cycle of maize in Guatemala. If you plant on a K’at day, you will harvest on that same K’at day 260 days later.
However, sometimes patterns which they started are no longer relevant and sometimes we cling to those traditions too. For example, tribal rivalry may have been useful when we were hunter gatherers, but now it holds back our progress. The day 13 K’at could represent the karmic burden passed on to us from our ancestors. Today is a day to recognise how we are held by those old patterns and break free of the ones which no longer serve us.
Many of our ancestral traditions also serve us well. There are certain ways that our ancestors knew to increase the yield of our harvest and keep us in abundant health. Today is the day to embrace ancestral traditions, and to remember to thank your ancestors for their blessings which bring your current abundance.
It is a day when we might ask for the input of our ancestors to help us bring something to its conclusion. If you are wondering how to finish something, it is a day to ask for a divination on the final steps of a venture, how to bring it all together. –Mark Elmy
13 K’at Our power lies in the trust we have in our dreams, in our ability to believe with every particle of our being, for when we begin to overthink and overanalyze things, is when we become entangled, when we block our manifestation.However, when we believe without doubts, with our mind and heart in gratitude, is when the magic of our creativity comes into action.
Today a cycle of thirteen days that has opened new paths and given us the strength and wisdom to traverse our road of life comes to an end.
Maltyox, thank you, Ajaw E’ for gifting us the possibility to continue learning and flowing. –Denise Barrios
