Kame Glyph: The glyph signifies death and is represented by closed eyes and a closed mouth. The circular line represents the cycles of reincarnation. –Carlos Barrios
Kame means “death” and “rebirth”; grammatically, Kame is the present tense of “The Eternal Now”. Kame represents Xib’alb’a, the Underworld of Mayan mythology, and embodies the eternal flow and cycle of death, rebirth and transformation; it is the day sign that embodies this transcendental spiritual state. It carries a special connection to the world of the ancestors. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Kame—the nawal of death, birth, and cyclical change—softens today under the nurturing and feminine influence of Power 9. As thresholds of closure and new beginnings appear, Kame supports renewal, guided by ancestral wisdom. 9 amplifies energetic change, drawing the process of transformation inward, where both decay and new life gestate silently. On 9 Kame, the hidden qualities of endings and transformation are held, protected, and guided as part of an ongoing life journey.
As the obsidian blade of the Tijax Trecena cuts through negativity and opens new pathways, 9 Kame gently assists in releasing what constricts inner harmony. Today, emotional inheritances—patterns rooted in family lineage—may surface for recognition and healing. This can manifest as confronting falsehoods or turmoil passed down through generations, or as courageously facing hidden emotional accumulations. Under 9 Kame’s grandmotherly presence, even deeply ingrained attachments may find tender support for release, when we are willing to seek it.
This day reveals the strength that emerges from emotional healing and the subtle power to transform with compassion. Renewal becomes possible by surrendering old stories and identities to welcome a new state of awareness. 9 Kame marks a delicate passage—inviting faith, release, and the creative use of pain to catalyze a sense of rebirth. Freedom and harmony grow each time resistance softens and outworn ancestral patterns gently dissolve.

Owl, the eagle of the night, is a very powerful totem. Throughout history, it has been depicted as wise, deceptive and ominous.
The common denominator of these interpretations is its ability to see. Owl can see through the dark and glide silently to what it needs. Not only does it see through darkness, but its vision extends to distances far beyond what we can imagine comparative to human sight. Owl medicine comes when you need clarity regarding the future; when you need light shed on an obscured event. It is a blessing to be graced by the reassurances of an owl call.
It is even still a blessing to receive negative symbolism from an owl about what is approaching. Owl medicine is a guidepost to remind you that even though it may be dark, the path is still there – encouraging us to continue in the direction that serves our soul, especially when fear and darkness blinds us. –Bryjna Magnusson
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
9 Kame Today brings a very auspicious combination as Kame, the nawal of spiritual change combines with the number of life. Today is a day where overcoming a life challenge may lead to a profound transformation.
In order to grow in all ways, we need change in our lives. New experiences and challenges, even if they scare us when we think about them, are what help us to mature and develop, they help our souls to ripen.
We see in this day with the nawal of death combined with the number of life. They are both part of the whole. Equal and opposite forces, combining as one and showing us the way of nature. They are the ebb and flow of the life force energy. Through our observation and experience of this, we are able to connect with the wisdom of our ancestors.
It is said that by speaking the names of our ancestors we keep them alive. Perhaps today could be seen very much as breathing life into them. If you need to tap into their discernment and courage, today might be a good day to call on them.
Today Kame is combined with the number 9 which highlights life and the feminine aspect in particular. This gives an idea that women in our lives may help us transform towards a higher aspect of ourselves. –Mark Elmy
9 Kame We are transiting a trecena in Tijax that brings us a transformative power which connects us to the ability we possess to heal ourselves, to open new paths of growth and fulfillment.
Today that the trecena flows with the energy of B’elejeb’ (9) Kame, the teaching is one of learning to break cycles, to unlearn, to let go of hurts, wounds, and patterns of thinking that have been passed from one generation to another, to not stay stuck in past moments of our life, in situations that do not contribute to our development.
Let us look back with love and with blessing for what was, for it has given us the wisdom and strength to find ourselves, to recognize our power and to get to where we are now.
Let us embrace our ancestors in gratitude and empathy, knowing that they also did the best they could, receiving with love the power they bequeathed to us and letting go of that which does not belong to us or is not part of the path we have chosen to walk.
Let us remember that finding and healing ourselves is the journey we are walking each day, that our purpose is emerging in each exploration, in each transcending of inherited and acquired fears and limits, in each time we decide to walk with awareness, and in each time we choose to see life with love and gratitude, flowing with what is coming, understanding it as an essential part of our path. –Denise Barrios
