Antonio is making this powerful tool available in an attempt to awaken us to the rhythms of his people's mystic calendar from the authentic pespective of the traditional Maya. This is done with express permission of his father, a traditional ajk'ij (calendar priest) who now lives in a region near the remote Cuchumatanes mountains of Guatemala.
Antonio has carefully prepared this document so as to make of it an unique introduction to the mysteries of the traditional oracular energies inherent in ancient Mayan time rekoning. It monitors a period of time that spans 360 days, just short of a solar year (365 days). This period of time was called a "tun" by Antonio's Classic-era ancestors. In the past it formed the fundamental basis for the emblematic cycle known as the OxLajuj Baktun, a stretch of time now often called a "World Age" or a "Sun" which forms one fifth of the mighty 26,000-year EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS journey of humankind. Antonio shares with us that his ancestors prophesied our era to be an important moment of transition for the human race, a time during which humanity would gradually pass from one stage of consciousness and understanding into a whole new one. Each of the five Oxlajuj Baktun "World Age" periods constitutes a powerful rebirth of our vision as children of the Sun Spirit and therefore they assigned to each one of these 5200-year cycles the name "SUN". Knowing that we are now actually experiencing the end of the Fifth Sun, the last cycle in the series of five, Antonio has chosen to express this important teaching in the form of a fold-out codex book that closely mirrors the pattern and form of the ancient books used by the sages of his ancestral past.
This document includes the current 360-day cycle spanning the period of time between two key intances of the nagual "AHAU" (Junajpu). The text guides the reader through a simple, clear explanation of the meaning and interpretation behind each day's nagual (glyphic symbol and sacred name). It allows the reader to bring his or her own intuitive energies to bear in the process of delving into the oracular truth behind each day of human life.
The cover is beautifully illustrated with a hand-painted image meticulously created by Antonio himself.
