Ajmaq:
The energy of Ajmaq embodies our connection to the long history of life through evolution, through the millions of years that have elapsed and blessed our planet with the diversity of life we see today, and the sanctity of consciousness, free will, and love.Ajmaq also represents forgiveness, pardon, sin, and pleasure. It is the nawal of all faults and vices. But it also symbolizes gifts and Mother Earth, and is the nawal of the Earth itself. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
“In one of the Yucatec prophetic books,
the Chilam Balam of Chumayel, it is written:
"On 6 Cib [6 Ajmaq],
the first candle was made;
it became light
when there was neither
sun nor moon."
–Kenneth Johnson
Today’s nawal, embodying ethics, curiosity, and our auric field, interfaces with the material realm of the 6, which governs our bodies, families, friendships, and the structural forms of our lives.
Traditionally, Ajmaq commemorates our ancestors, serving as a day to cleanse ourselves from past human mistakes and to nurture our curiosity about our deeper essence. This embodies Ajmaq’s redemptive journey of self-discovery.
As the Trecena of B’atz influences family connections, bonds, and community ties, today’s 6 Ajmaq invites us to reflect on our actions, values, morality, and principles inherited from our families and past generations. This day encourages us to focus on the auric frequencies we emanate and to use them to weave vibrations of harmony and conscious awakening into our networks. It highlights the spiritual dimensions of the B’atz Trecena as we co-create a new tapestry that comes to life through this cycle.
Connecting the threads of new beginnings with the support of B’atz, today presents a wonderful opportunity for introspection with the potential to transform our lives: a moment to reflect on our errors and engage in acts of forgiveness—both in giving and receiving. This process may take various forms, such as addressing areas in our lives that need reconciliation or acknowledgment, especially within our relationships.
It is essential to remember that Ajmaq is a compound word with dual meanings: “Aj”, signifying wisdom, and “Maq”, representing a veil that obscures our vision and clouds the presence of Ajaw (God).
We can approach this day with curiosity and neutrality, aiming to become more conscious of the offenses or discord within our lineage, experiences, or communities while committing not to repeat them in our lives. This day calls us to honor our word, cultivate awareness of our reactions, meet our responsibilities, speak truthfully, and promote softness and sweetness towards ourselves and others unconditionally.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
6 Ajmaq
The trecena of B’atz has a theme of creation, of weaving things together. Support from our ancestors can bring us great strength on our journey, and bring the sweetness into our lives.With the number 6 highlighting the family, today brings the energy of resolution of differences within your family.
If there are outstanding matters causing friction with your ancestors, today is the day to sort them out. Whether forgiveness is what you need to ask for, or what you need to give, great stability can be created today through this action. –Mark Elmy
6 Ajmaq
Today we receive the power and wisdom of Waqib’ Ajmaq.In the chain of creation the energy that was manifested yesterday, Tz’ikin, brought us a deep vision of things. Now in Ajmaq, a fog arises that limits this vision, that no longer allows us to see into the depths of space.
But with it, a light also emerges to guide us. Ajmaq grants us the gift of curiosity, of discovering our purpose in life, of seeking the knowledge and experiences that enable the expansion of our being.
It is the light of Ajmaq that impels us to develop, that guards for us the secret knowledge, the one that we can unveil when we awaken our consciousness, our vision.
Ajmaq also teaches us about forgiveness. It reminds us that being conscious of our actions, seeking outer and inner peace, and developing empathy and tolerance are important actions for our spiritual growth.–Denise Barrios
Bee Spirit Animal:
“Harmonizer & Protector”, “Inventory of Responsibilities”, “Service to Community”
When Bee shows up as a Spirit Animal Guide, it’s time to take inventory of your responsibilities. Are you over-extended, or have you perhaps become languid and apathetic? Bee won’t tolerate either extreme.
As the Buddhists say, Bee is an example of walking the middle path. All your hard work means nothing if you don’t get to enjoy the rewards. Likewise, when life stagnates, so does your spirit.
Bee fits a very specific role in nature, pollinating other plants; this is necessary to the ongoing life cycle of many crops. It also delivers humans with wax and honey, giving Bees the additional symbolic value of providence.
The pollination process also symbolizes our social nature. Bees live and work as a community. As they go from flower to flower, that progression enriches the world.
Bee people very often become motivational speakers, teachers, healers, and light workers for the greater global village. Their language of love is mindful service. A Bee’s honeycomb represents the Heart Chakra and life’s sweetness.
How can I transform my mistakes, grief, and pain into healing medicine for myself and others? In what areas of my relationships or family patterns do I sense darkness that calls me to light the candle of my inner light?
