7.28.21 - Day 5/13 of the White Wind Wavespell - Magnetic Moon 3 The White Wind wavespell has gotten a bit buried by the storyline of a new 13 Moon year, but we can revisit it now the hoopla of the transit between years has abated. And notice that this whole Yellow Electric Seed year is held within the White Wind wavespell. When we consider Yellow Electric Seed, when we live from within its purview, we are seated in the White Wind tribe and its impulses. Truth is one factor of White Wind, and archetypal fatherhood and male aspects of being in the world. The words of the spirit world, or Great Spirit, travel on White Wind's currents and communication, spoken aloud, is one of its manifestations. See what you're saying right now, and hearing. Your words and those around you are iterations of otherworldly influence and direction. And allow the days to be full of chatter, ramblings, connection through conversation. It's how we fill the absence the male archetype brings, ever so busy in an ancient world away from us.

7.25.21 - Day 2/13 of the White Wind Wavespell * Day Out of Time Today is called the 'Day Out of Time' as a poetic description of being unconnected to any of the 13 Moons. It's neither the furtherance of our recent, final Cosmic Moon or an antecedent of the Magnetic Moon that launches our new year on July 26. It's a day's breath away from the 13 Moon wavespell that is demanding work for all of us who follow its fluid changes. In that way, time stops - no consideration for the purposefulness that tomorrow's Magnetic tone drives, no last grip on the year that was completed in a form of transcendence in the Cosmic time. Like the late night of New Year's Eve in the Gregorian tradition, we're awash in enchantment, finalizing and releasing the past while turning wakefully toward the future. It's a special way to be in connection to the ancient cultures that saw July 26 as the new year - the Maya and Egyptians both - and to feel caught again in the power of any devotion you feel to this modern Mayan movement.

Blue Lunar Night

7.21.21 - Day 11/13 of the Red Moon Wavespell * Cosmic Moon 25 Today is the first day of the 'vayeb,' the 5-day period that ushers in the new Mayan year. You can imagine in an earlier time that all went inward and in particular found ways to shepherd out the old year's events and energy. Blue Lunar Storm has been trial by fire, a deluge of grief, an immense shadow-light polarization structure. The darkness was undeniable except for constant flares of conflict. It's ending now. In the Electric year we'll feel the influence and confluence of a higher power than human emotional combat filling in the vast chasms of dissonance we've created. Take time to let go of this intense, historic passage we've endured. The next one won't have fast, easy harmony, but it's building toward acts of service, instead of self-preservation, which will help break this hard cycle.

Blue Spectral Storm

7.18.21 - Day 8/13 of the Red Moon Wavespell * Cosmic Moon 22 Don't miss the transit this week to the new Mayan year. It's a way of connecting to thousands of ancient souls that had no doubt that this is the time of epic renewal. You can open your day to the energy field, open your mind to something beyond the daily tasks at hand and find the thread to original Mayan belief and celebration. The most obvious action is to reflect upon and release this year that was. When we hit the new year, the new Magnetic Moon, we'll be consumed by the karma we attract, the wind up for a new 13 Moon adventure. But now as the dusk descends on Blue Lunar Moon, we are loose and spacious at the end of this road and can really pay attention to the finishing touch of these next days.

7.14.21 - Day4/13 of the Red Moon Wavespell * Cosmic Moon 18 The Cosmic Moon is pushing us to be one with the cosmos, a natural conclusion to any year's journey of hard work - like an endorphin high from exercise. We are also in relative stillness compared to the action-packed drama of the Blue Lunar Storm siege we've been through, and every wavespell has a variation on this storyline of fast-paced growth that concludes in the Cosmic tone's break from so much active evolution. Enjoy the spaciousness and slowness - just days left before we wind up again and encounter the forceful, fateful blast of the new year's Magnetic tone. The Cosmic Moon holds the typical pace of an open-ended summer season; the Magnetic Moon has the urgency of too much heat, when unscheduled freedom turns to the fretful impulse to get ready for a long, dark winter season. It's harvest time after the final stages of agricultural bloom. So enjoy the bounty of everything you tended to all year, and know that another round of demanding - and illuminating - growth is set to arrive in days.

Yellow Self-Existing Human

7.11.21 - Day 1/13 of the Red Moon Wavespell * Cosmic Moon 15 New wavespell in the watery realm of Red Moon - the moon cycles are celebrated along with their influence on the tides and our own liquid bodies. It's also the opposite of Blue Storm, our current year, which means we close out the whole experience of cataclysmic, explosive, tension-releasing anger and sky-crying with water that only wants to seek balance. Nothing explosive about Red Moon, except maybe the vulnerable exhaustion that comes from at times having to reflect so much direct sunlight. So we get to flow into the last phases of the Cosmic Moon and our 13 Moon year's end.

Red Magnetic Moon

7.7.21 - Day 10/13 of the Yellow Warrior Wavespell * Cosmic Moon 11 We're winding down the Mayan year - only 19 days to go until we begin again. In this last tour through the tribes until we arrive at Yellow Electric Seed on July 26, we can really feel the way the year dissipates, turns to an ether memory, even as we relive its echoes. It's as if our experiences with Blue Lunar Storm - continued conflict, polarization and explosive outbursts - need to be reemphasized right now as we finally turn to the Yellow Seed's ascent. Don't miss out on this uber-Mayan moment - the transition between years is historic and sacred.

Red Planetary Serpent

7.3.21 - Day 6/13 of the Yellow Warrior Wavespell * Cosmic Moon 7 The Yellow Warrior wavespell turns out to be full of war. That sucks. It's not like we haven't been steeped in polarizing face offs and open enraged conflict this entire Blue Lunar Storm year. So as we enter the Cosmic Moon it's a perfect summation of the year - the final thoughts, the post script - that we would watch ourselves and others be quick to ire, offensive/defensive and inclined toward protecting our hearts with a shield instead of leading with them openly. Endure and Transcend, says the Cosmic tone, in order to experience Presence. Endure the infighting, the backbiting, the survivalist flares of temper as people try to save themselves from increased pressure, encroaching threat. Transcend by seeing the bigger picture surrounding us - climate catastrophes and the usual angles of greed and self-preservation coming from people in power. Where is your place in this human trauma? There is grace to be found. Maybe you have it easily, or you have to forge it daily, reinforce it against the enemy infiltrator, the energy field of destruction. Then you have a space that's calm, inward, safe, so that your present moment is not only fraught, challenged, but also peaceful. Cosmic.

6.28.21 - Day 1/13 of the Yellow Warrior Wavespell * Cosmic Moon 2 Bonus episode: the war is waged, watch your decibels of defense and reactivity. I had to throw another podcast up to reposition myself as this time of war begins. I am naturally inclined toward conflict and excessively defensive posturing, but to be in the homeland of the original archetypal warrior makes me want to be careful, clinical in battle - not flailing, not in full-scale artillery fire. I had someone start a fight with me on this first day and was reminded that people will be inclined that way for now. But there's an opportunity if you follow the Tzolkin calendar to clarify your own draw toward conflict to be the 'right fight' for the cause you care most about. Don't get confused and join every battlefront. Find the actual hill you would die on and see what service you can provide there. The honed in focus on what you care about - to protect, serve and defend - will make you stronger and survive the danger of the war-zone. Plus it's the Cosmic Moon and I can feel it. Sink into the oneness with the cosmos we have earned after a year of growth in our sentient bodies, our life on earth.

Yellow Magnetic Warrior

6.27.21 - Day 13/13 of the Blue Night Wavespell * Cosmic Moon 1 First day of the Cosmic Moon is also a Cosmic day completing the Blue Night wavespell. There will be three Cosmic days in this Cosmic Moon so we have all this amplified opportunity to discover what the Cosmic tone means through direct, doubled experience of it. Let the first day set your course for discovery of enduring and transcending presence, the indicators that Jose Arguelles chose for the 13th and final stage of our wavespell journey. There is book knowledge, there is listening to your Natural Time teachers, and then there is your own openness to the unfolding lessons that happen in your body, being, environment as they happen. This moon is special, rarified, taking us into the vastness of the cosmos. Feel the shift as the moon changes, greet the new energy with interest and observation.

Blue Cosmic Eagle

6.23.21 - Day 9/13 of the Blue Night Wavespell * Crystal Moon 25 It's nearly the end of the Crystal Moon. The moon that's almost full will probably swamp us with an intensity that upends the true resolution we've encountered the last weeks as we work through this tone of cooperation and dedication to the collective. So try to grab your story arc one more time to see how it's come to completion. The themes of a Blue Lunar Storm year are identifying how we are different than others, while also have psycho-emotional breakthroughs that force us to not feel better than those we are clearly separate from in belief and practice. The ways we are different will be resolved, reconnected in ten years when we get to the Crystal year of this 13-year wavespell. For now we just own and identify where we are in the shadow realm and the light that our earth moon demonstrates in its phases. And we see where others live, occupy the opposite space. Use this full moon glare to look closely at your year's discoveries. Then the Cosmic Moon will come and take any logic or oversight away and set as adrift in transcendence, in being present, and enduring the tension of the next wave stirring deep below us.

Blue Solar Monkey

6.20.21 - Day 6/13 of the Blue Night Wavespell * Crystal Moon 22 It's such a time of amplified dreaming. It's not that we're adding daydreaming to night, but that our nocturnal dreams affect us so deeply they carry into the daytime. Then we're spellbound by the psyche for extra hours, until our time in waking reality is minimized. We see the waking world, too, through this dream reverie state. Each wavespell we find one wonder of the world to celebrate, immerse ourselves in. This one is sweet, since the whole capitulation to Mayan spirituality is already a dreamlike trance.

Yellow Rhythmic Star

6.16.21 - Day 2/13 of the Blue Night Wavespell * Crystal Moon 18 In the Blue Night wavespell, our dream life spills into the daytime. This is ideal. If you follow the Mayan cycles already or for some duration, Blue Night becomes your natural habitat because the calendars we synchronize with are already leading us toward a life of surreality and imaginal freedom. Blue Night is like a homecoming for all of us committed to experiencing each tribe and tone as we pass through them. A time when signs and symbols float through our days - when events unfold with a strange magical and fantastical undercurrent - that's our normal, isn't it? Experience this wavespell as a way to watch how imbued you are already with this developed superpower: to dream while waking. A truest form of abundance.

Yellow Lunar Seed

6.13.21 - Day 12/13 of the White Dog Wavespell * Crystal Moon 15 A Crystal day in a Crystal Moon is the perfect opportunity to find your own understanding of the Crystal tone. The amplification will help the day be plainly illustrative of the core facets of the Crystal tone: to dedicate, universalize, cooperation - these are the words Jose Arguelles interpreted. I add 'gathering' and 'resolution.' Crystal times are wrap-ups, finishing stages, return to stillness and peace, even if the ending of the wavespell journey has a dark outcome. Often it is the return of light - the light source and the lifting of burdens, both.

Red Crystal Dragon

6.9.21 - Day 8/13 of the White Dog Wavespell * Crystal Moon 11 The Crystal Moon draws us toward cooperation and dedication to others. It's a time of gathering easily, circling up, being in a crowd and finding all this socializing tolerable. It's fitting that in the Crystal Moon we see the end-of-school year festivities that bring parties and potlucks and large-scale group celebration. It's fitting that in the Crystal Moon we pass through the summer solstice and all the color-bright, light-filled outdoor gatherings. It's hard in the Crystal Moon to focus solely on one's self. It's possible to resist the mayhem of being congregated with other people and stay inward, but our attention - even if isolated - is on our relationships to others and the history we've shared.
