Tz’i Glyph: This glyph signifies the staff used by indigenous authorities, as well as a dog’s tail. It is spiritual law that cannot be bought or sold. –Carlos Barrios
Tz’i symbolizes the loyal dog, guardian and guide of balance in both spiritual and material realms. All life is governed by two great laws: Divine Law and Natural Law, with Social Law as their living extension. Its energy guides the way we walk the sacred road of life.
On a personal level, Tz’i is the voice of conscience and inner guidance—calling us back to integrity at any moment. Demanding self-command and shaping sovereignty, it insists upon right relationship with self, nature, and society. Justice is not only to be sought in the outer world; Tz’i teaches that integrity begins within, through the alignment of thought, heart, and action.
Tz’i also represents the five senses as a primal, intuitive compass—steering us away from the seven snares of Wuqub’ Qak’ix: over-ambition, pride, envy, lies, crime, ignorance, and ingratitude. In its shadow aspect, Tz’i reveals vices, betrayal, spiritual poverty, and unchecked indulgence. Compassionate yet unwavering, Tz’i reminds that to live in integrity is to walk faithfully in the path of love, truth, and balance. –Diana P.
1 Tz’i
Today is Jun (1) Tz’i, initiating a new Trecena (13-day theme) .
1 is birth and beginnings.
This is a period for reflection on authority, justice, and accountability, beginning within and radiating outward to our relations with others and society. As Tz’i asks us to examine the source and quality of our self-leadership, we’re called to take ownership of our emotions, actions, and the circumstances we shape.
This 13-day cycle is a time to correct behaviors, resolve disputes, and humbly align with truth—favoring legal clarity, honest agreements, and the fair application of justice. Its energy supports dissolving lingering self-doubt, purging vices, and renewing faith in both personal and communal authority.
As the nawal of the scribe and secretary, Tz’i upholds the power of the word—writing, speech, and clear communication as instruments of truth and order. Guided by its standards of loyalty and accuracy, we walk in beauty with dignity, autonomy, and right action, balancing the scales of our inner and outer worlds. –Diana P.
Tz’i Mesoamerican Mythos
[Excerpts]:
"The first Fathers gave us the laws known as the Natural Order that governed the Classic Mayan world. These are practical, uncomplicated rules based on the harmony that reigns in nature."
- Tat Carlos Barrios
"In Tz'i, the cosmic balance is established upon the Earth through enlightened creation and maintenance of law and order – in other words, of authentic spiritual justice. It is also said that Tz'i , in its totemic aspect as a dog, a raccoon, or coyote, is the animal guardian of hills and mountains.
Tz'i has a strong connection with primal nature and the wilderness. Like E', Tz'i has a connection with the Road of Life. For if E' is the road itself, Tz'i is the means by which we walk the road."
-Kenneth Johnson
Dog Spirit Animal:
Dog spirit always reminds you to maintain your integrity and faithfulness with all the gentle souls that share your life, both human and animal. Those who resonate with the dog spirit embody loyalty, courage, and problem-solving skills.
In Mayan tradition, the dog spirit animal is revered as a loyal companion and guardian, bridging the visible and invisible worlds. This aligns with the concept of Dog as a Power Animal, fiercely devoted, loving, and protective. In traditional beliefs, dogs guide souls on their journey to Xibalba [underworld], reflecting their ability to navigate different realms.
The Pop Wuj highlights dogs’ roles in maintaining harmony with nature and respecting all living beings. Invoking Dog medicine assists one in maintaining integrity and faithfulness in all relationships, including relationship with self.
