Lajuj Ajmaq ~ 10 Forgiveness ~ LC 13.0.1.14.16 ~ Oct 8, 2014 K´ICHE´ - Ajmaq YUCATEC - Cib´ ENGLISH - Forgiveness, Sin and Pardon DIRECTION - East ELEMENT - Fire KEY - Search for expression and transmission GROWTH - Forgiveness and personal service MEANING - Ajmaq is a favorable day to ask for and receive forgiveness, to manage harmony and discord, and to focus on the word, the message, ancestral lines, and the energy that emanates from living bodies, called an aura. This day brings an energy that is the mother of all mistakes, offenses, and lack of responsibility before Ajaw, the Great Father, and all manifestations of life and creation. Our Grandfathers said that sin is a direct offense against Ajaw. Ajmaq is forgiveness and a day of introspection. In antiquity it was a day to stay home and reflect on ones acts and their consequences, whether intentional or unintentional. On that day, one would go out only to make an offering, to ask forgiveness from those who had been wronged, or to go to the ceremonies and listen to traditions. The summing up of their lives in general and the last winal (twenty days) in particular was a way for Classic Mayans to maintain balance. They asked Mother Earth to forgive their abuses and gave thanks for the benefits they had received. This was the day when the great sages would share their teachings with the whole community and the community could speak with the Elders. It is a day that reminds us of and connects us to a universal vision as well as to our own reality. On this day, we can delve deeper into the purpose and direction of our lives. It is a day when questions arise and we explore the wonder and mystery of our expression as individuals. It is a day to remember our Grandfathers, our ancestors, and Mother Earth in her manifestation as the protector and procuress of humanity, she who always forgives. It is sweet honey. The energy of Aj is the experience and virtue of a long walk through life. It is represented by old age, which does not have the same meaning as it does in the West. To become an Elder in the Mayan world one must have completed 4 cycles of 13 years and thus be 52 years old. ENERGY - Ajmaq is the most auspicious day to ask for and offer forgiveness, atone for our sins, and avoid confrontation. It is also a good day to cure all types of illnesses, defend the dispossessed, seek justice, and achieve harmony with Mother Earth.
