Galactic Currents ~ The Glyph of Etznab is shown as a multidimensional mirror. The symbols flint, knife and sword and mirror and all relate to the obsidian crystal, a naturally occurring volcanic glass common in the Yucatan. Obsidian is a stone of protection and divination.
This 13 day period, from July 27th until August 8th will show us the power of the archetypal Sword of Truth, as in King Arthur’s Excalibur. Once we choose our path there is no turning back. Our impeccability is crucial during this time. This is a period that brings us through an intense eclipse season while taking us down the 20 days that mark the core and center (7th column) of the Tzolkin. These days are very powerful as they relate to important convergence points within the micro/macro cycle of Mayan time.
At the center of this column is the 13 day period of Chuen (beginning on 8/9/13). It is the center of the center and is symbolized by the monkey, the cosmic artisan, trickster and weaver of the web of reality. It is a period that teaches us about embracing the magic and mystery in life. We can shift our perception into something new, think outside the box, create new forms and learn to see through the illusion.
As we look into the mirror of Etznab we will be shown another aspect of the spiral as it will present to us many dimensions of reality and take us on a journey through the hall of mirrors. We will be shown much in the way of dichotomy and what we think and feel may be mirrored back to us. Be open and flexible as we navigate these passageways of the mind (considering all is mind and nothing is real). On some level it all merges into one. Creating unity and interdependent relationships are important at this time. We need to stand up for what we feel is right without being righteous. This could be a time of friction as expressed in the symbolism of flint. As we find our centeredness the spark of flint could ignite a whole new way to be and from there we can reach infinity. – Carol McCloud – www.galacticalchemy.com
