Can you believe this view?! Every morning I watched the sunrise from my bed. Each day began with a soulful meditation. Here we are creating sanctuary. Our sister circle showering our sister with loving energy.

Using a modified vigesimal tally, the Long Count calendar identifies a day by counting the number of days passed since a mythical creation date that corresponds to August 11, BCE in the Gregorian calendar. This ancient Mayan symbol is representative of the Earth keeper who sanctifies the Earth and venerates all life that exists on it. Reminding everyone, of the larger forces that are behind all creation, this Earth symbol represents movement, transition, and synchronization.
It motivates people to be patient, observant and flexible. It also symbolizes the synergistic working of destiny that brings everyone together for shared spiritual intents. Focusing on the Caban symbol helps one become centered and experience spiritual unfolding. These are the main Mayan symbols that we have discovered to this date. If more Mayan symbols should be found and documented, we will include them in this section of ancient Mayan symbols.
Katarina’s review of The Mayan Sisterhood
The Jaguar is the god of the underworld in the Mayan mythology and is symbolic of darkness and the night sun. Being the embodiment of aggression, the Jaguar is also a symbol of strength, ferocity, power, and valor. It helps us realize that we are all part of the same energy force and that we share something bigger than self. We are all brethren. Clothed in white cotton garments, an embroidered sash tied around his waist, Lucio secures his coal-black hair with a beaded red headband around his forehead. Priests and priestesses dressed in colorful ceremonial garb guard the way to the temazcal.
Elise from New York is the first. Standing in front of the entrance with her hands outstretched, Lucio methodically waves a bundle of smoldering herbs, fanning the swirls of smoke around her body, in tribute to the four winds. This is repeated for each of the rest of us. This ritual, a common practice among many indigenous tribes, is known as smudging — the burning of herbs for emotional, psychic, and spiritual purification.
The concept is that the trail of smoke will attract and disperse negative energy, pushing it into another realm. This prepares the individual to enter the ceremony as being both physically and spiritually cleansed from bad spirits and negative thoughts, thus permitting healing to occur without negative distractions from either the healer or the participant.
It is said that the elders teach that individuals must enter the sweat lodge — the Temazcal — with a good heart and walk in a sacred manner, so that they may be purified and healed of past wounds. Now that we have been symbolically cleansed, each of us in turn takes a pinch of tobacco to add to the flame outside the Temazcal entrance.
The Mayan Sisterhood
The wooden doors are closed, exposing us to the full brunt of burning copal resin and heavy, hot vapor. I feel my breathing as it becomes heavier.
Darkness is interrupted only by the diffused red glow from the hot lava rocks. Where there is no time, there is only our presence.

The traditional ritual begins with a bundle of aromatic herbs and sweet smelling grasses. In turn, we swivel to our left and tap our partner on the shoulders and torso with a bundle of aromatic herbs. Each tap releases the herbal essence and permeates the thick air.
