The Maya are an ancient race of people; I presumed that they died out centuries ago when they were conquered by the conquistadores, but they are still living in the Yucatan peninsula. Seeing them was an adventure in itself, everywhere you looked you came face to face with the ancient faces of the Maya, even the children had the eyes of great wisdom and dignity of their ancestors.
The Mayan language have over 100 words that are the same as the Chinese, and you can see in the faces that they are of the same ancestry.
We were shown around by a Mayan guide who spoke beautifully of his culture and spirituality. It is widely known in their culture that the “end of days” is upon us, and that the change coming is the dying of the old world and birthing of a new world where we will be reborn into.
They believe that their deity, Kukulkan, will spread his wings and come back to them, us.
Kukulkan is a feathered serpent God with that is part Quetzal bird, his tail curls around heaven and his head sit on earth at the temple of Chichen Itza, his great mouth open with the waters of life pouring out.
It is believed that the Maya came from the great womb within the Milky Way; it is a fact that at the exact place the Maya believe they are from and huge Black hole sits a great womb.
They believe that at the point of the great Patchakuti, the great polar shift, will be an alignment of all the planets, that Venus, an important star in their culture, will sit in line with the sun and earth, the life giver and the great mother, and that Chichen Itza will be in perfect alignment with the planets and the Milky Way and that Kukulkan will come down to earth and send forth a beam of light that will impregnate the great womb so that we may all be re born into the new world. Our souls will be reborn into a new world.
The Maya take great care of their names, it is who you are, in ancient times the shamans would name the child according to divine knowledge, this name would determine who you are and your destiny, it is also to let the gods know who you are so they will spare them during the great cleansing....
To bless the pendants you are to perform a simple ritual at the foot of Chichen Itza....
As we walked past the trees and market stall holder we entered out into the courtyard of the temple, and there sat under the burning sun was Chichen Itza.
It was spectacular, we stood at the foot of the temple and clapped four times to represent and call the four directions, to our amazement after each clap an echo bounced back to us from the top of the pyramid, what was most amazing was not that sheer volume of the echo but the fact that the echo was not a clap but the call of the Quetzal bird!!!!! Truly fascinating!!
I felt blessed to have witnessed this amazing phenomena, I picked up a stone (to put in my future Mesa ;0 ) and poured a drop of water on the floor as a thank you.
As I watched more people clap and the call of Kukulkan calling back I watched a huge black raptorous bird fly over the top of the temple in honour of Kukulkan.
