TRADITIONAL 'real' KICHE definitions of NAWALS pt. 1

In this episode we talk with Kiche Maya Ceremonialist and Teacher Apabyan Tew about the Days of the Mayan Calendar known as NAWALS.

TO CLEAR ALL MISCONCEPTIONS WE APPROACH THE MAYAN CALENDAR BY FIRST APPROACHING THE KICHE MAYA LANGUAGE.

We us a KICHE - English dictionary to translate the Mayan language and its connecting verbs, associations, idioms and conceptualizations which are an essential part of the deep and rich Maya Kiche culture of keeping calendars.

USING MAYAN WORDS AND CONCEPTS WE NEXT APPROACH COGNITION REALITY TIME AND NATURE.

We discuss the characteristics of many NAWALS and the behaviour of people who have them.

WE DISCUSS THE SEXUAL ACT, GESTATION,AND BIRTH OF A PERSON i.e. (their creation)

and how it its connected to their NAWAL and its characteristics.

it is actually incorrect to call the days " nahual". Those are day names and each day has a nahual. But the days themselves are not Nahuales. Those day glifs didn't even exist in the highland region. They were not in use in the Kiche area. So using the glifs and calling them nahual is something new. This is all new age stuff. The word nahual is not properly uses here. Again Nahual is a spirit guide each day has one but the days are not nahuales.
