K’uxlajik K’aslik K’ux
(Living the Four-Fold Sacred Rhythm)
With the Mayan Sacred Calendar,
we live in alignment with Natural Law
by practicing its guidance.
Aj is the Wand or sacred sheath, the staff of power. In the Mayan language it is called El Aj ch’amiy’il. The Aj ch’amiy’il is the great grandfather, the great guide. From his lips flow words of encouragement and consolation, poetic words gathered in the field.
Aj is the triumph of life over death. Aj symbolizes the triumph of all kinds of evil, symbol of resurrection. It represents the spine, the inner fire that moves and activates secret powers. The column between Earth and Heaven. Aj is the return home, the place of origin. It personifies integrity, honesty and righteousness. –Mayatecum
