12 KNIFE
The day Tijax represents a double-edged obsidian knife. Two different types of individuals may wield the knife; the warrior and the healer. Thus one of Tijax is the nagual of Mayan medicine. On this day difficult illnesses are cured, especially those that are hard to treat because they arise from not being in harmony with Mother Earth, Grandmother Moon, and the ancestors. On this day one invokes and supplicates the ruling spirit of Tijax for good individual and collective health.
