8 JAGUAR
I’x is a guardian of shrines and sacred places. Though many Mayan traditionalists have altars and shrines in their own homes, many or perhaps most of the public shrines are marked by natural geographical formations – rivers or rocks or hills – which are alive with powerful sacred energy. Worship and wild nature can never be separate.
The ritual cycle in many traditional Mayan communities runs from the 6 through the 9 day of every trecena. The most important ritual day is 8. This number has a habit of balancing any day sign’s energy and helping it to manifest at its highest potential. If you have a sacred space in your home, today is the perfect day to gather fresh water and place a bowl upon your altar.
