| Trecena of 1 Kan
Featured Videos | The Trecena of Fertility We are entering the twelfth trecena, ruled by Kan, the Seed or Lizard. This trecena is especially sacred, as it embodies the power to give life and drive evolution, but also especially dangerous, as it harbors powerful passions in all aspects of creativity and fertility—from sexual prowess to creative genius to the generation of wealth—that, if left unguided along the right path, can cause wanton waste, sensual abandon, or excessive indulgence. The key to allowing the fertile energies of the Kan trecena into your soul is respect. Respect the sanctity of your life, and your own talent, imagination and capacity for creativity, fertility and abundance. Don’t put yourself or your abilities down, but be realistic in terms of which are your talents and where to best channel your creative energies. The modern world we live in is built on power, productivity and money, which are but the technical structures that are supposed to serve the generation of true wealth—that of the mind, body and soul—yet which have taken over the psyche of our society and are now reigning as the ultimate purpose in life. We categorically reject this paradigm, and encourage all of you to rediscover and harness the creative powers you hold deep within your soul. Nature herself expresses her fertility and creativity every breath of every day, blossoming new forms of life, nurturing the tiniest and supporting the biggest, painting vibrant colors across her skies, forests and seas, unleashing awe-inspiring storms, winds and earthquakes, yet balancing all of her forces with eternal patience, knowledge and the wisdom of millennia. You too are a force of Nature. Live your life accordingly. Join us on the daily journeys of each Trecena, online at Facebook and Twitter. Love & Abundance In celebration of the essence of the Kan trecena, we’re thrilled to announce the introduction of a new line of Maya e-cards, called “Love & Abundance.” The first two cards in this line are dedicated to Ix Chel, Maya goddess of fertility, abundance and the moon, and to the Quetzal, a resplendent jungle bird that symbolized the movement of Creation and was deeply cherished and revered by the Maya—and is, incidentally, the name of our newsletter! Visit our updated Maya card page, or click here to see previews of the new Love & Abundance cards (once you're there click on the thumbnails). You can also listen to the sounds of various birds from the Quetzal and related families at the Xeno Canto web site, or learn more about its endangered status here. And to everyone who has already sent one of our Sacred Mayan Birthday e-cards to a loved one, thank you so much for your support and for all of your wonderful compliments. We want you to know that every dollar goes directly to the maintenance and continued innovation of the Mayan Calendar Portal. Thank you again and we hope you enjoy the new Love & Abundance cards!

Based on our stock of this first family of crystals, we will now be shipping monthly, beginning early February for the period from December 22, 2009 though the end of January 2010. Please note this initiative has just begun and will continue to organically evolve. More rounds of Intention Crystals will be following, each unique with distinct intent to share with the world. Another type of crystal will be used for the next family, but details have not been finalized yet.
You can view the video of the First Round blessing by Grandfather Cirilo (Wandering Wolf), Rufino and Grandmother Elizabe th here:

http://www.youtube.com/user/shiftoftheages
Please help spread the messages by using the “SHARE” button on any page of our site or linking to them in your favorite social media portal.
3. SHIFT CENTRAL NOW OPEN! In order to foster greater community about the Shift of the Ages and the mission to support the Maya, we have just launched two initiatives, and respectfully request your cooperation:
A. Our Community Social Networking Portal called Shift Central. Please create a profile; share pictures, stories and experiences; create your own blog; network with people in your area; and tell us about your SHIFT!
http://www.shiftoftheages.com/shift-central
B. The Shift of he Ages Discussion Forum:
http://www.shiftoftheages.com/forum
With new and fresh conversations inspired by you!
We will be making some major changes to the web site in the coming months that will better relay our mission: it will have a lighter more elegant appearance, create more opportunity to interact, and help create the story we are collectively making called the Shift of the Ages.
4. LANGUAGE TRANSLATIONS: We will also be translating the site into multiple languages, but need your help. If you can volunteer to be on a language team, please reply to april@consciouswebsolutions.com with your language skills and availability.
5. MAYA NEWS BLOG: We are also supporting the release of a Maya News Blog that features news from the Maya of Central America and other indigenous reports from around the world. This way we can keep up on the happenings of our indigenous sisters and brothers, stay abreast of issues affecting them, and how we can support their causes in effective ways.
6. AFFILIATE TRAINING: We will be holding a training call for Shift of the Ages Affiliates On Saturday Feb 6th at 9 AM Pacific (Noon Eastern, 5:00 Pm GMT). A separate announcement will be sent with call in details. We now have over 60 approved affiliates and invite all Affiliates and Ambassadors to attend this global conference call. We will explain the Affiliate Program in detail and explore ways to help everyone be successful in spreading the message of the Maya.
7. FILM PROGRESS: After some early screenings of the film’s rough cut we are now revising the script to give the film a broader appeal and to be able to carry the message in a way more meaningful to the average person. We are exploring ways to have Ambassadors provide feedback on the film script later in the script-writing process. We’ll keep you posted as this develops, but know it will take a couple months when we are ready to proceed.
Our 2½ hour rough cut edit of the film has recently been trimmed into about a 1½ edit that our narrative will weave into. Once the Shift of the Ages script is finalized, we will have the blueprint needed to complete the film’s post-production. We will most likely seek an accomplished co-production company to help us with the final editing, graphic design, animation, voice over, sound, music, and other important attributes for release. This process could move relatively quickly with the right people and tools.
In closing, we wish to offer an important clarification of our work together. There are two main components to the Shift of the Ages project:
The first is helping Wandering Wolf and the Maya clear up popular misconceptions about their tradition and spread their messages to the world. Since 2005, we have been working diligently to share dozens of timely videos over the internet, without charge, to help spread the Maya’s message. We will continue to edit and release video shorts until the film itself is circulating. These videos, along with others, will be compiled into a bonus DVD for Ambassadors, and will be shared with Ambassadors in the next couple months. This i s our gift to you for your continued support.
The second component is to create an emotionally moving film that enthralls its viewers and honors the Maya and all whose dedication and support have made the project a reality. We are uncompromising on the creative process that will bring this film into theaters and households around the world. The timing for the release of the official Shift of the Ages film is a moving target, dependent on many factors, some of which are out of our immediate control. We originally thought we could have it finished by the end of 2009, then early 2010, and now with the exciting changes being incorporated by our writer, the time is moving forward. It will be released in an appropriate timeframe. Meanwhile, we will continue producing the video shorts to help develop awareness of the authentic Maya, to help establish the grassroots Ambassador network that will help raise awarenes s of the shift, as well as propel the film to a global audience.
We are not a Hollywood production company. We are a small independent effort with a goal of reaching a broad audience while not compromising the heart of the message. What is most important to us is the relationship we have with Wandering Wolf and the Maya people. There is little reason for the Maya to trust outsiders of the tradition, yet we have been given an amazing opportunity to team-up with the Grand Elder of the Living Maya. Wandering Wolf trusts us to help him and we don’t take that lightly. There are only a handful of us dedicated at a core level to seeing the project to completion, and together we are attempting to incorporate new models of film development, fundraising, distribution, and creative promotion. We are, however, bridging Maya time with Western timelines. We are very grateful for our aligned investors and the growing community of Ambassadors around the world. It is this continued support, and our undying commitment to the Maya cause, that will ensure our collective success.
Thank you,

Expert predicts end to hierarchies and value of money
The period Nov. 7, 2009 to Nov. 2, 2010 will be characterized by the collapse of the U.K.-U.S. axis of western domination, the dissolution of hierarchies, and an end to the perceived value of money in its paper and electronic digital formats, predicts Mayan calendar expert Dr. Carl Johan Calleman. These social breakdowns are part of a period of transformation to a new era, characterized by sharing rather than individual ownership, and by higher human universal consciousness. The pace of extraterrestrial disclosure is expected to accelerate after Nov. 2, 2010. Using the time acceleration matrices of the Mayan calendar, Dr. Calleman correctly predicted the first phase of the global financial collapse for the period Nov. 19, 2007 – Nov. 8, 2008. ...
El Quetzal Issue 7: 1 Chuen
| Trecena of 1 Chuen
| The Trecena of Creativity Finally, a fun trecena! The eleventh trecena is ruled by Chuen, the playful Monkey. The upcoming thirteen days embody a magical period of creativity, art, music, dance and play. This is the time to slip out of your rigid corporate persona, leave that business suit and tie in the closet, and let the real, creative you thrive. This trecena can help you transform your life from fulfilling the mundane daily tasks of modern existence to one of endlessly vibrant, exuberant experience. We know of many such transformations: a Wall Street investment broker who quit his job to dedicate his life to photography, a Washington DC accountant who shed his corporate skin to be the painter he always was, a freelance writer who started a company dedicated to beauty and sustainability. But as with any creative or magical power, you need to respect and honor it, and lend it your deepest talents and skill, and guide it as you would any wild untamed force of nature. Lose sense of what you’re doing and it will snap into chaos. Do you have the courage to be who you are? Join us on the daily journeys of each Trecena, online at Facebook and Twitter. Calling all parents and their children Too often, those of us running Mayan Calendar web sites focus our content and communications on adults. But it is the children, with their natural innocence, playfulness and inquisitive nature, who often tell us, the adults, much more about the living essence of the Mayan Calendar than we can imagine. Most of us can surely remember at least a few moments when a child utters a question or comment so natural, so pure and so true, that we simply stop in our tracks. We want to include the voices of children in the conversations and the knowledge that the Mayan Calendar Portal brings to the international community. We always have... and now is the time to make it happen. Supported by LUCITÀ, the company that designed and produced the Portal, we are announcing a new project: telling stories of the Mayan Calendar through children's eyes. So those of you who are parents, relatives, or teachers of school-age children who are interested in writing stories about the Mayan Calendar, please contact us for further details. Help for Haiti On 9 Cimi, 12.19.17.0.6, Tuesday, January 12, a 7.0 earthquake struck about 10 miles from the capital city Port-au-Prince in the nation of Haiti in the Caribbean. Tens of thousands of people are feared dead, with hundreds of thousands homeless, displaced and injured. The Mayan day sign for this day was Cimi, meaning “Death”. To many this may be too eerie of a coincidence to be brushed aside; it’s always more pleasant to interpret the Tzolk’in in a positive or supportive light, but unfortunately not all that happens in our world is pleasant or pretty. What matters is how we, as a society and a global community, respond. What matters is how we ensure disasters like this are mitigated or prevented in the future. What happened in Haiti is nothing short of stunning. In only 35 seconds, a vertically pounding seismic tremor reduced the entire capital city to rubble. Reconstruction and rebuilding of lives will take many months if not years, but for now, Haiti’s most immediate need is for food, water, shelter and medical assistance and supplies.

The fourth dawn of 2010 mirrors the piercing, brilliant light of the 10th trecena, the Trecena of 1 Etznab. Etznab, sharp black Obsidian, cuts through the multitudinous veils we live wrapped up in, through the layers of misperception, fear and misinterpretation that our social and media conditioning continues to hypnotize us with, through the fog that surrounds the clarity, potential and truth of our souls.
The challenge of this Trecena is to stand before the mirror of your soul unclad and unfettered by fear, uncertainty, weakness or falsehood of any kind. Have the courage to look directly into your heart, body and mind, without judgment, without opinion, without comparison. Breathe deep and long through your life’s journey, recognize that which still needs attention or improvement and rejoice in that which you have made strong.
There is no journey like the search for personal truth.
Join us on the daily journeys of each Trecena, online at Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. Write to us or send in your Mayan Calendar Story, let us know how these sacred energies resonate with you.
Late last year, we asked you to review SONY Pictures' action movie "2012"—and you responded. Citizen movie reviews came pouring in, and we are now preparing a communication to the filmmakers. This time however, we have a very different film for you to review: "Avatar" by James Cameron. We have heard many positive reactions in our community to the film and its message of love and respect for life winning over human greed and violence. Many people are going to see it twice.
Whether Avatar inspires you or leaves you skeptical, we want to hear from you. It's important to tell Hollywood not to mislead the public about 2012, but it's even more important to tell the film industry when they get a story right. That's why your opinion of Avatar matters. It may not be related to the Mayan calendar, but its message mirrors that embedded in the sacred Calendar: to live in unity with the natural world and with ourselves.
To submit your review, just fill out the online form we've created. All reviews will be sent to director James Cameron and 20th Century Fox. So take this opportunity to communicate directly with Hollywood, and make your voice heard!
In the Tzolk’in, the equivalent of January 1, 2010 was simply another day in the Chicchan Trecena: 11 Men. But for countless populations around the world, the tradition of celebrating the New Year in the Gregorian calendar retains its powerful cultural hold. It’s a time for parties, special foods, parades, light shows and fireworks, parades, and of course lots of champagne and confetti.
Without taking away from any of the celebratory joy surrounding the transition of the New Year, let us remember that natural time is cyclical, not the linear deadline-driven race that modern society imposes, and “resolutions” should be daily journeys or moments of awareness and action rather than the typically short-lived annual effort to improve ourselves.
On behalf of all of us at the Mayan Calendar Portal, we wish you and your families and loved ones a joyous New Year, a blessed Etznab Trecena, and an infinite string of fulfilled “now” moments.

Ian Xel Lungold (1949 - 2005) - Here it comes Baby! Here comes the Truth!
The TRUTH brought forward by the consciousness of the 3rd "Day" of the Galactic cycle is rising in intensity just like the sun rises every morning to high noon.
High Noon of this 3rd "Day" is June 12th 2003 (note*This is not the hottest part of the day.)
The top news stories of the day June 2nd 2003 are discussing how we “may” have all been lied to about the Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. As this truth is coming forward the players within the lie, the CIA, Defense Dept, State Dept, White House and the Pentagon as well as the British Parliament and Prime Minister are attacking each other. This is the exact type of scenario that we have discussed and predicted on this web page just under a year ago.
More staggering truth is on the way, including a massive cover-up by the corporate owners of Hospitals, of a SARS type illness that killed at least 20 people in Sonoma CA last week.
(See articles section at this web page)
When we had said that the truth was coming during the 3rd “Day”, we understood that in the beginning much of the truth would be the exposure of how deeply and widely we are being lie to by those who supposedly inform and govern us all. But that is not all of the truth coming forward.
There have been extreme advancements in our understanding of light, matter and the role of consciousness within, space/time as well as scientifically measured traces of existence beyond this 3rd dimension. We are teleporting light, information and collections of molecules right now. We have slowed light to a crawl and then stopped it, stored it, and released it again. We are time bending electrons and changing their properties. In double blind studies, thousands of times all over the planet we have measured and qualified the direct change of energy patterns of persons separated by 1000’s of miles when one of the parties receives a stimulus. ” We are all One,” is now a scientific fact. The scientific evidence that we are still consciously connected directly with our ancestors is pouring forth and over all…. The “Veil” is getting Thin.
Everything is becoming more transparent including your relationships and personal perspectives is it not?
Not everything we can see right now, environmentally, politically, economically, socially or personally looks pretty, (like the depth of betrayal) but it sure is beautiful to be able to see it at last. When or how ever else could the lies be brought to an end?
Only in the light of the truth, by turning over the rocks to see what crawls beneath, and that is what each and every 3rd “Day” of the Mayan calendar has had to do with.
Every 3rd “Day” is the display to consciousness of its actual situation as applies to the continued survival of life on this planet.
Then during the 3rd”Night” we deal with that truth being exposed.
The 3rd “Night” starts Dec10th 2003 and runs until Dec. 4th 2004
The last 3rd “Day” was 1834 – 1854 (Anti slavery and Women’s suffrage movements)
The last 3rd “Night” was 1854 – 1873 (The US Civil War)
The 4th “Day” of each cycle is when New Foundations are laid for the new emerging consciousness to be built upon. (In this case the consciousness of ETHICS)
The last 4th “Day” was from 1873 – 1893. It was during this time that Nickoli Tesla was writing and experimenting, Henry Ford built his first car, the telephone was invented and electric lights were changing us from an agrarian dawn to dusk consciousness to one of there being more usable hours in the day. Industrialism had started its general sprawl all across America. Do these particular developments look like they are the foundations of our current civilization? It sure looks like it’s turned out that way to me.
The 4th “Night” is always the application of new procedures developed in the 4th “Day” Some ideas or procedures work, some don’t work so well but consciousness make great strides getting ready for the 5th “Day”.
The 5th “Day” is when the greatest breakthroughs of consciousness come during any of the 7 previous cycles.
Next 5th “Day”, Nov. 24th 2006 – Nov. 12th 2007
Last 5th “Day” was 1913 – 1932 (E=Mc2, Hubble, Radio invented, League of Nations)
Last 5th “Night”, 1932- 1952 (WWII)
Next 5th “Night”, Nov. 2007- Nov.
2008 This time, with Ethics as the foundation of consciousness the 5th “Night” is going to be very different from all the previous ones.
This time too we are knowledgeable of the schedule as never before. Always in the past when the immense acceleration of consciousness provided during the 5th “Day” hit physicality there was a spin out of control as much more became suddenly possible.
In that process some very bad things happened to what ever, or who ever, was in the way during the 5th “Night”.
6th “Day” Is the Renaissance in each cycle. Sure enough, the 6th “Day” of the last cycle was right when the European Renaissance happened. We will see Human spirit become able to manifest whatever “Things” that they could desire. There will be no manufacturing or harvesting, buying or selling going on at all.
Next 6th “Day” Nov. 2008 – Nov. 2009
Last 6th “Day” 1952 – 1972 (Beatniks and then Flower Children, The Beatles, orbital satellites and global communication systems)
Next 6th “Night” Nov. 2009 – Nov. 2010 Here is usually a troubled time in each of the past 7 Consciousness cycles of the Mayan calendar. It’s when some of the methods developed during the previous “Days” have been jettisoned because they were seen as not being workable toward a greater survival potential.
The last 6th “Night” was 1972 – 1992 (Viet Nam War) A war that ended the acceptability of war, if not the practice of war, through and by a consciousness shift… Current 3rd “Day” consciousness, displayed recently in World Wide protests against the Iraq War before it even began, are held up here as being the result of this consciousness shift during the 70’s, and 80’s. It did not stop the practice of war but it made the statement stronger than ever before that war is not an acceptable solution to survival any longer by consciousness. This coming 6th night we will jettisoning our dependence of local in physical space/time. Travel will be done by the shift of consideration, rather than by any physical conveyance. Time will be a chosen destination as locale is understood as a chosen location today. With other dimensions and parallel universes to explore this could be a very exciting time don’t you think? Personally, This, I Gotta see! This is what I came here for and I’ll bet you are smiling right now too huh? This makes it worthwhile holding on to your life with both hands and wringing all of the pleasure that you can out of it all the way. Don’t it? And you know what? (And you do know this) Pleasure just may be the only way through these coming changes. I personally believe that pleasure is “The Compass of Survival”.
If you are experiencing anything other than pleasure then you are experiencing some sort of resistance to your ultimate survival. Do what you feel is right and you will experience pleasure within that act, no matter how mundane. Pleasure is going to be your compass as far as what to do that is in your best interest over the next few years. So I’d break my pleasure out of its cracked case and start using it if I were you. Yes this means that changing what ever circumstances, work places, relationships, goals, ownerships and positions that are not pleasurable to you, is going to be needed in order for you to flow easily with all the coming rapid changes. But you already felt that didn’t you? You have felt these truths welling up in you for the last few years probably. You’ve maybe felt that all those “pains in the ass” were going to go away eventually, when you died. What if none of us had to ever die but could learn to live with greater possibilities than ever imagined?
That is the 7th “Day” of the Galactic Consciousness Cycle Nov 2010 – Oct. 28, 2011
Welcome to the Evolution my friends
In service,
Ian Xel Lungold
