The Serpent and the Jaguar: Living in Sacred Time

Everything we do and the way we think is based on a linear conception of time. Our very ideas of life, success, and happiness are tied to a non-cyclical, non-organic paradigm that often works against our own nature and potential. The Maya live in a different world close to nature, close to their children and their elders, and close to time: the sacred and the secular. It may seem we could not be further removed from the Mayan way of life, but there is a road built centuries ago we can still access. It s called the Tzolk in, the sacred ritual calendar the Maya have used since ancient times to guide their personal and spiritual paths.

For the first time, The Serpent and the Jaguar brings you the Tzolk in interpreted in the context of modern life and modern challenges. The 260 individual Energies of the Day are accompanied by detailed descriptions of the 20 trecenas and their ruling day signs. This book is a guide to help you redefine your relationship with sacred, cyclical time in the midst of a global society built on ordinary, linear time.
