Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary and practical guide to Mayan astrological techniques • Discusses the logic and meaning of the 20 day-signs of the Mayan calendar • Explains the many cycles of Mayan astrology, such as the 9-day cycle of the Night Lords and the 13-day trecena • Contains extensive tables of Mayan astrological data, allowing readers to cast their own Mayan horoscopes How to Practice Mayan Astrology presents a contemporary guide to one of the most sophisticated astrological systems ever developed. Like other ancient peoples, the Maya looked to the cycles of the planets as markers of time and designators of order. The predictable cycles they observed became codified in the Mayan calendar and astrological system as a way of organizing the seeming chaos of human life. Mayan astrology is based on 20 named days that are cycled 13 times to create a 260-day calendar, the Tzolkin. The authors explain the symbolism, logic, and meaning of the 20 day-signs; how these signs reflect 260 possible personality types; and how they can be used for divination. They also explain the important role of the Four Directions and the planet Venus in one’s personality matrix and life issues. Included are extensive, easy-to-use tables of Mayan astrological data, allowing readers to determine their day-signs, to see how these signs are also influenced by the cycle of the Night Lords and the 13-day trecena, and to cast their own horoscopes.

Download or read book The Birth of a Universe The Maya Science of Pregnancy written by Apab'yan Tew and published by Jade Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So begins The Birth of a Universe, a profound exegesis by Apabyan Tew, a K'iche Maya midwife and daykeeper. We are bound to the ancient 260-day Maya calendar just as we are bound to the planets that gave birth to that divinatory calendar, our conception, growth, and destiny guided by nawales, the spirits of the days. This system, where everything in intertwined and shapes the nature of the soul and consciousness, is the essence of Maya science. Westerners may divide indigenous science into various disciplines such as physics and astronomy. The vital details of the parents' circumstances and emotions at the moment of conception some would call psychology, a psychology that takes into account every intense mood and feeling-the very atmosphere-from the sexual act to the miraculous birth of the child. Others would call the daykeeper's acute analysis of consciousness, spirit, gender, and material status a new (though age-old) philosophy. Like all well-wrought philosophies, this one is intricate and complex. In fact, it reflects a rational world grounded in earth and sky, basic human emotions and urges, as well as invisible forces.This wise, sometimes esoteric volume is an antidote to chaos, presenting a Unified Theory of Birth that opens a pathway to the fates and to the eternal.

Book excerpt: Described as a landmark in the ethnographic study of the Maya, this study of ritual and cosmology among the contemporary Quiché Indians of highland Guatemala has now been updated to address changes that have occurred in the last decade. The Classic Mayan obsession with time has never been better known. Here, Barbara Tedlock redirects our attention to the present-day keepers of the ancient calendar. Combining anthropology with formal apprenticeship to a diviner, she refutes long-held ethnographic assumptions and opens a door to the order of the Mayan cosmos and its daily ritual. Unable to visit the region for over ten years, Tedlock returned in 1989 to find that observance of the traditional calendar and religion is stronger than ever, despite a brutal civil war. ". . . a well-written, highly readable, and deeply convincing contribution. . . ." --Michael Coe

Download or read book Star Gods of the Maya written by Susan Milbrath and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A prodigious work of unmatched interdisciplinary scholarship” on Maya astronomy and religion (Journal of Interdisciplinary History). Observations of the sun, moon, planets, and stars played a central role in ancient Maya lifeways, as they do today among contemporary Maya who maintain the traditional ways. This pathfinding book reconstructs ancient Maya astronomy and cosmology through the astronomical information encoded in Pre-Columbian Maya art and confirmed by the current practices of living Maya peoples. Susan Milbrath opens the book with a discussion of modern Maya beliefs about astronomy, along with essential information on naked-eye observation. She devotes subsequent chapters to Pre-Columbian astronomical imagery, which she traces back through time, starting from the Colonial and Postclassic eras. She delves into many aspects of the Maya astronomical images, including the major astronomical gods and their associated glyphs, astronomical almanacs in the Maya codices and changes in the imagery of the heavens over time. This investigation yields new data and a new synthesis of information about the specific astronomical events and cycles recorded in Maya art and architecture. Indeed, it constitutes the first major study of the relationship between art and astronomy in ancient Maya culture. “Milbrath has given us a comprehensive reference work that facilitates access to a very broad and varied body of literature spanning several disciplines.” ―Isis “Destined to become a standard reference work on Maya archeoastronomy . . . Utterly comprehensive.” —Andrea Stone, Professor of Art History, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

Download or read book Bitcoin Astrology written by Tim Bost and published by Harmonic Research Associates. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bitcoin has been the vehicle for the creation of a number of new millionaires. They were often the ones fortunate enough to have bought Bitcoin when its value was measured in pennies and then sell some of their holdings when Bitcoin was trading at tens of thousands of dollars. In some cases they have used their new-found wealth to start new businesses, to pay off long-standing debts, to promote charitable causes, and along the way, to become even more vocal Bitcoin advocates. It's also true that Bitcoin has created consternation for central banks and government regulators around the world. Its transformational potential for upsetting the global economic apple cart is certainly being taken seriously by the powers that be. And yes, Bitcoin has been a key element in criminal activities and illicit enterprises. Some of its bedfellows have been particularly unsavory, and even dangerous to have as associates. Because of the ability to maintain privacy and conceal the amounts being transferred in discrete and unmediated person-to-person transactions, a digital wallet full of Bitcoin has in some situations become suspiciously synonymous with a suitcase full of cash. All of that - and much more besides - is documented in this breakthrough book. Bitcoin Astrology brings together some of the world's top financial astrologers who examine the origins and history of the cryptocurrency, its social, economic and geopolitical impact, and the vital role it will play in the future in a new paradigm for an egalitarian economy. With the likes of Tim Bost, Bill Meridian, Goncalo Moreira, Christeen Skinner and Wendy Stacey involved, you know you're getting the best astrological and technical experts available today. The book features in-depth analysis, Elliott wave studies, connections with Austrian Economics and Uranian Astrology from the Hamburg School, practical experiences, harmonic theories, specific Bitcoin trading strategies, and much more besides. Each of the contributors adds a unique perspective to the mix, resulting in an amazing synthesis of insights and inspirations. This remarkable volume also includes more than 50 key horoscopes to use in timing and analyzing Bitcoin market trends, along with illuminating comments on each horoscope chart. They tell a tale of fears and follies, of greed and altruism, and of fantasies and hope. But they also document important beginnings, and they make it clear that the story of Bitcoin is just getting started. In short, we anticipate adding many more horoscopes to this collection in the future. As we move through an intense period of planetary transformation between 2018 and 2022, and then into the years beyond, we are on the cusp of a new consciousness that will create fresh concepts and definitions of who we truly are as individuals, as communities, and as a planet. Our mission is to become intentional co-creators of that transformation, no matter what our personal backgrounds, beliefs, or resources may be. This ongoing process calls upon us to combine an empathetic understanding of shared human experience with the latest rapid-fire innovations in technology, and with astrology's most sacred spiritual and alchemical roots. The ultimate role that Bitcoin and its progeny will play in that ever-changing amalgamation remains to be seen. But if we willingly embrace this unique opportunity by using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in our personal commerce, and by actively creating innovative economic models for meaningful transactions, we are likely to be amazed. That amazement - that profound sense of wonder - can open up boundless new personal possibilities for us. It can also become a steady fire for the alembic of even greater transmutations to come. It's truly a mind-boggling prospect - and you'll find the first steps in the process in the pages of Bitcoin Astrology. Be sure to get this book today so you can prepare for the bold new world of tomorrow!
Download or read book The Maya Prophecy written by P. A. Faber and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Mayan prophecy, the world will end December 21, 2012. It is a mystery how the Mayans came to this conclusion; it is also a mystery how to stop certain doom. But in all their wisdom, is there a possibility that the Mayans knew how to postpone the end of the world? If so, could there be an ancient text that reveals the answer archaeologists seek? Anthropologist Kate O'Hara thinks so. She and a team of fellow academics stumble upon a mysterious Mayan codex while investigating in the Yucatan Peninsula. Before the codex can be authenticated, however, it disappears, and the team begins to receive death threats from a menacing secret society. Luckily, Kate already made a copy of the manuscript, and so begins the lengthy process of translation, despite the terrible danger to their lives. The codex reveals the story of Ahkan, a Maya shaman, and her cousin and soul mate, Took Pac, a priest of the Maya Temple of Kul'kul'kan. Took Pac discovered a secret text written by the Mayan king and prophet, Chan Bahlam II. Kate believes the answer to the world's crisis may be found in the words of Chan Bahlam. Now she must try to translate the manuscript in time and live long enough to share the good news with others.
