Mayan: Mysticism Magick Dictionary on MAYAN CALENDAR

MAYAN CALENDAR

The Mayan year, beginning always on July 26, called a tun consisting of 360 days (called kin ) and 5 or 6 epagomenals called Vayeb , weeks, called Uinals , are 13 kin long and numbered perpetually over a span of 20 days, named as follows: Imix, Ik, Akbal, Kan, Chicchan, Cimi, Manik, Lamat, Muluc, Oc, Chuen, Eb, Ben, Ix, Men, Cib, Caban, Edznab, Cauac, Ahau. The months, which are 20 days long, but numbered from 0 to 19 are as follows: Pop, Yax, Vo, Zac, Zip, Ceh, Zotz, Mac, Xec, Kankin, Xul, Muan, Yaxkin, Pax, Mol, Kayab, Ch'en, Cumku. . . and the Vayeb intercalaries.

 

Time is reckoned in units of 20. Thus 20 tun make a katun, 20 katun make a baktun, 20 baktun make a pictun, 20 pictun make a calabtun, 20 calabtun make a kinchiltun, and 20 kinchiltun make an Alautun, which latter amounts to 163,040,000 years.

 

The present cycle began in the year 3113 B.C. and ending in 2012 A.D., is the final part of a 26,000 year cycle (a zodiacal age), and (according to José Argüelles) June 20, 1986 was "10 Ben, 9 Kayeb, 12.18.14.18.9" meaning baktun 12, katun 18, year 14, vinal 18, day 9 and kin 1862599 (number of days elapsed from the initiation point of the Great Cycle)."

 

The "Harmonic Convergence" of 1987 was the beginning of the end of the last five years of the Hell cycle. 1992 is the beginning of the final 20-year countdown to the completion of the 26,000 year galactic cycle. (The time it takes the sun to circle the Pleiades). One of the stars in the Pleiades is called "Maya."

Mayan: Encyclopedia II - Stingless bee - The Mayan stingless bee of Central America

Meliponine bees (Melipona beecheii and M. yucatanica) are the only honeybees native to the Americas. They were extensively cultured by the Mayan tribes for honey and regarded as sacred. They are endangered due to massive deforestation, altered agricultural practices (especially insecticides), and changing beekeeping practices with the arrival of the Africanized honeybee which produces much greater honey crops. ...

Mayan: Encyclopedia II - Mayan languages - Relation to Mesoamerican writing

The pre-Columbian Maya civilization developed and used an intricate and versatile writing system which, out of the various historical Mesoamerican scripts known, displays the highest degree of correspondence to a spoken language. Earlier-established civilizations to the west and north of the Maya homelands also had scripts which are recorded in surviving inscriptions, such as those of the Zapotec, Olmec, as well as the Zoque-speaking peoples of the southern Veracruz - western Chiapas area. There is however insufficent available evidence to d ...

The Vision Serpent also finds a place in Maya architecture and is especially prominent in the decoration of pillars on the interior and exterior of Mayan temples. ”In the palace at Labna, serpents adorn the corners of the principle facade. Characteristic of the Vision Serpent, there appears to be either an anthropomorphic deity or the spirit of an ancestor emanating from the gaping jaws of the serpent's mouth”. (Ivanoff, Pierre.

Mayan: Encyclopedia II - Stingless bee - Stingless bees of Australia

Of the 1600 species of wild bees native to Australia, about 14 species are stingless. Stingless bees are also known as Australian native honey bees, native bees, sugar-bag bees and sweet bees. They are small, black in colour, with hairy extended hind legs for carrying nectar and pollen, and because of this they are often mistaken for the bumblebee. The various stingless species look quite similar, with the two most common species, Trigona carbonaria and Austroplebeia australis displaying the greatest variation, as the latter is smaller and less activ ...

Mayan: Encyclopedia II - Stingless bee - The hive

The bees store pollen and honey in large egg-shaped pots made of beeswax mixed with a plant resin called propolis. These pots are irregularly arranged around a central brood comb, where the larval bees are housed. Being in the middle of the hive helps insulate the young bees from major temperature changes. When the young worker bees emerge from their cells, they tend to remain inside the hive pursuing different jobs. Some will be involved in the on-going construction of the hive while others will remove rubbish or become nurse bees, producin ...

Mayan: Encyclopedia II - Stingless bee - Honey production

In warm areas of Australia, some honey production is possible with these bees. They also can be kept successfully in boxes in these areas. Special methods are being developed to harvest moderate amounts of honey from stingless bees in these areas without harming the bees. Like the European honeybee (Apis mellifera), which provides most of Australia's commercially produced honey, stingless bees have enlarged areas on their back legs for carrying pollen back to the hive. After a foraging expedition, these pollen baskets or cor ...

Mayan: Encyclopedia II - Stingless bee - Pollination

Australian farmers rely heavily on the introduced commercial bee to pollinate their crops. However, for some crops native bees may be better pollinators. Stingless bees have been shown to be valuable pollinators of crops such as macadamias and mangos. They may also benefit strawberries, watermelons, citrus, avocados, lychees and many others. Research into the use of stingless bees for crop pollination in Australia is still in its very early stages but these bees show great potential. Recent studies at the University of Western Sydney (see Aussie Bee Issue 10) have shown these bees’ excellent ability t ...

Several Native American tribes have similar beliefs concerning the end times. Eschatology - Hopi.
