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.
“B’atz is the start of life, infinite time, and unity. Spiritual connections are history interwoven with time. This sign symbolizes cosmic phenomena and original wisdom. B’atz is the deity that created Earth and Sky, the Creator of life and wisdom. B’atz signifies the time it takes for a child to develop in the womb. The tz’ite that represents Ajq’ijab’ (Mayan priests) contains 260 seeds, representing the nine moons of pregnancy. B’atz’ presides over the future.”
–Carlos Barrios, Mayan Elder
