In the second half of the year 2000 I felt myself inexplicably
drawn to the Mayan Calendar. Until then I had not even heard of
it or knew anything about it. Thanks to the Internet I was able
to gather very quickly quite a bit of information. I found the information
intriguing and at the same time confusing. One site seemed to be
conflicting with another site and then the third one had a still
different opinion. I was totally puzzled, but kept on gathering
info. The more I immersed myself into it the more confused I got
and at the same time the more I learnt and the more things started
to make sense.
Then one day I dawned on me that there was the traditional Mayan
Calendar and a new version called the "Dreamspell" Calendar.
The new calendar has elements of the old one but comes from a different
direction. As with a lot of so called New Age information each technique
is a spoke on an imaginary waggonwheel. All the spokes come from
different directions to the center - the hub - and surprisingly
they all agree with each other and don't contradict each other.
So, to me it seems that both Mayan Calendars have to bee seen in
this light and serve a purpose. When I do a reading, I use Numerology,
Astrology (Western, Chinese and Mayan), Biorhythm and the Runes.
Each one of these offers me different information about the person
and helps fill in the picture.
The Mayan Calendar is often compared to a loom of time. I found
that quite an interesting concept. Then I remembered that in the
90's my son had a computer game called "Loom" by LucasFilms
and both he and I were extremely attracted to it. The premise of
the game was also that time is a loom and the fabric that was being
woven was falling apart. You had to use musical note sequences to
help the hero of the game restore the weave. Maybe that game prepared
me for this.
I will not duplicate information that is easily available on the
Net about the Mayan Calendar. Below are links to the sites and a
reason why I chose them. I am working on a second page where I will
show the drawings/graphics I have been compelled to create with
the Day Signs of the Mayan Calendar.
