Day Names (Maya Calendar)

Maya calendar day names. These names are constant across languages as they are derived from a single source and used by Daykeepers across language communities. 

The Sacred Mayan Calendar and the Count of Time

The sacred Mayan calendar is a tool used to understand time and space. Its twenty-day cycle helps to determine what activities can be carried out and also indicates those that cannot be performed. Additionally, it includes thirteen levels of energy for each day, which helps us measure spiritual forces, the behavior of time, and human attitudes. Therefore, using the calendar and incorporating it into our daily lives becomes a valuable tool for guiding human lives and everyday activities. It is worth reiterating the energy corresponding to each day, respectively. The symbols that the Mayan ancestors have bequeathed have a symmetry of power and are considered sacred days.

The Mayan calendar influences a person's life from conception, birth, and destiny. It is said that each human being brings with them a gift, a light, and a function, according to their nawal, which is the symbol of their birth. From there, it is possible to determine their destiny, abilities, character, and overall life projection. It also relates to the lunar cycles connected to Mother Earth. This knowledge is held by spiritual guides and passed down from generation to generation.
