All religious buildings...



... were richly decorated with bas-reliefs with inlays of precious stones and statues of solid gold. This profusion of gold and jewels has indeed given rise to the myth of the "golden man" or Eldorado, based on local custom: a powerful lord was coated with gold dust, before swimming in the sacred lake in which he threw precious gold items, as an offering to the Sun God.

Thus the gold - the symbol of the Sun God - was exploited by leaders and members of the elite, not as a currency but mainly for decorative purposes and rituals. The famous Sun Temple in Cuzco is a good example. Standing in the center of the capital, this building (which have been recently restored) was considered to be the most sacred place of the Mayan empire.This temple was the theater of the most important ceremonies of the rulers: weddings,coronations, funerals. This is where their mummies were preserved, seated on thrones of gold.

The Mayan culture

The Mayan emperors were considered to be the direct descendants  of the Sun God and as such, they were considered to be divinities. At the summit of the Mayan society, detaining supreme power, they were the intermediaries between the gods and mankind, guaranteeing the cosmic order.

A sort of Mayan Bible - the sacred Book of Popol Vuh - relates this cult of the Sun God, often depicted as wearing a golden human faced,  mask, surrounded by sun rays. In each administration center, the Mayan emperors generally, built solar temples served by priests and also a palace.There were also other sun temples: the "Ushnu" pyramids on plazas where some solar rites were performed.

The Sun God

The Sun is the largest star in our solar system, giving it its name. It brings light and warmth. It keeps away darkness and gives life. Without its beneign influence no life would be possible on Earth. The Mayans were familiar with the Sun and its mysteries,vowing it an unbounded reverence. They had even succeeded to determine its diameter (1,392.000 kilomètres) and masse (109 times the size of the Earth) !

This bright star was divinised by many ethnies. And had many names: Osiris and  by the Egyptians ; Baal by the Chaldeans ; Tammuz or Adonis by the Phenicians and the Syrians ; Mithra by the  Perses ; Phoebus and Apollon by the Greeks and the Romans ; Pachacamac, meaning "father" by the Incas, and the Peruvians, etc.

But it was hardly ever elevated to such a level of supreme GOD as it was by the Mayans.

The Mayans and the Sun

The occult knowledge of the Initiated Mayans concerned mostly the spiritual evolution based upon an alchemy between humans and the energies of the Sun. In other words, they have developed a system of Sacred Ceremonies during which they realized magic rituals dedicated to th Sun, which in return granted them their wishes.

The Mayans had a very special relationship with the Sun God even if they also worshiped other divinities. It wasn't simply an adoration but rather a cult.

Pacal Votan knew...

that his peoples mission was to transmit to humanity the tools to facilitate their awakening. Each civilization left a message for precise moments in time, the Mayans was destined to awaken us, at the appropriate moment for us to get « re synchronized » with ourselves, once we were ready to.
Their knowledge was especially focused on  of the end of a galactic cycle of 26000 years (the time our Sun needed to do a complete revolution around the great central Sun in the middle of our galaxy) ending at the 21 December 2012. In reality, these 26000 last years corresponded to the gestation of our Mother Earth, the "birthing" occurring in 2013, making us together with our world in its entirety, enter a superior spiritual dimension.

Pacal Votan, the magician of time

In the 1950, scientific archaeological researches on this civilization made a great discovery. In November 1952, a funeral crypt was discovered inside the pyramid called « Temple of Inscriptions » of Palenque, in Mexico. It contained Pacal Votan' mummy, a great priest and Mayan king.


Know also as The Magician of Time, Pacal Votan reigned during 52 years on Nah Chan (currently called Palenque), from the year 435 to the year 830 of our era. He was the guide of the Mayan mission, which goal was to carve into stone,  the astronomical and mathematical knowledge, about time,for future generations.


He left this following message for humanity :


- « Everything is numbers. God is a number.God is everything »


- The living beings are intimately connected.


- Humanity is constantly « informed » of its future by the celestial bodies gravitating in our Galaxy.


- All lifeforms are arranged following  basically the same recurrent models .
He also specifies that « obscurity gives birth to light » : instruct the cycles of Time, Pacal Votan knew that mankind would ultimately forget the fundamental connections he had to nature and to the divine cosmic world. The unconsciousness has been a part of the evolution of humanity, the only way to make it possible for it to « wake up » returning to consciousness by free will. The connection to nature and the divine had to be cut off to be able to discover its true value : mankind went into the illusion to discover truth.

The beliefs of the Mayans

With their advanced occult knowledge, the Mayans had succeeded to, in a certain way, take hold and master the cogs of time itself. The priests-astronomers relied on their skills as seers as well as their calendar to, very methodically, set their previsions and prophecies for the regulating of their daily life and future projects.


The Mayans believed, that the astrological birth chart determined from the very beginning a persons life. Following this chart, the god of the moment of birth of the newborn baby was believed to influence the child throughout its life. Some gods were beneficial and others less, and a child born under a "good" god was considered lucky. The child born under the more negative influence of a less beneficial god had to, throughout life, go through very precise  sacred rituals, to attract good luck etc.

The Mayan Calendars

The Mayans had a system of very precise calendars. Everybody has heard of the famous Mayan Calendar, extremely precise, our computers not having more precision to offer than the one of this calendar. For example, their year counted 365,2420 days, an error of only 0,0002 day. It is even more precise than the Gregorian Calendar (365,2425) introduced in Europe at 1582. We know today that the exact numbers is 365,2422 jours.


The calendar also served to designate the moment some past or future event had or was to occur. Some Mayan monuments for example, contains the dates of events having occurred some 90 millions years before, while others predicts future events which are to occur 3000 years later!

More about the Mayans...

With sophisticated mathematics they knew how to determine the movements of the heavenly bodies in the night sky, thousands of years into the future and also into the past. They knew how to predict the eclipses of the Sun. They had the knowledge of the movements of the Moon around Earth and also the revolution of the others planets, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn around the Sun too. They had also the perfect knowledge of the concept zero, without which mathematics wouldn't really exist (it must be said that in those times neither the Greeks, nor the Romans had the slightest idea whatsoever about that concept).

The Mayans...

were particularly interested in Time and the Cosmos : they believed that the Cosmos was the activating element of the human spirit. Very much into the arts of magic, mastering numerology and astrology, a science like astronomy had a very high ranking for them. Their extremely skilled scribes created thousands of codex's, fig bark and stag skins were utilized for that; it was on supports as these that they wrote down important astronomical observations. With these charts they planned and logged the movements of the heavenly bodies.


They also had observatories and other astronomic objects as for example sun dials. Their precise knowledge concerning the exact dates for the solstices and equinox's made them able to determine the favorable periods for the celebration of their divers rituals (planting of maize, politic or commercial alliances, marriages, ceremonies to attract chance and fortune, etc.).

The Mayans

Nobody knows exactly where the Mayan civilization came from.

What is known though, is that this brilliant and feared civilization appeared between the 4th and the 3rd millennium BC, developed in Mexico and all through Central America, influencing strongly the Incas and the South American Aztecs. The highest point of their civilization is believed to have been between the 6th and the 9th century and vanished with the arrival of the conquistadors at the16th century.

This civilization was one of the most advanced at that epochs : the Mayas had the knowledge in various domains like; chemistry, mathematics, physics and many other sciences. Remains of their remarkable architecture are still visible today with ceremonial monument, artifacts with extraordinarily detailed decorations, and of course the pyramids, theirs palaces and their observatories, all of them constructed without any metal tool, to our actual knowledge anyway.

They had also incredible knowledge in agronomy. Skilled farmers, the Mayas cleared the tropical forest and constructed immense underground water reserves, for the collecting of rainwater, in places where no surface water existed. They made jewels, fabrics, and pottery, and also roads through the jungle and the swamp, creating a network for exchange with other far away people. They were also the first Pre Colombians to elaborate a written language, composed by glyphes, meaning symbol's.

Be careful not to dig yourself into a corner. Friday 23rd is a good day to cut your hair, and see it grow back thicker and healthier. On Sunday 25th you’ll want to get what you can out of life. You can organise a dinner party or spend an evening with your lover, rediscovering each other. Now’s a great time for reigniting the flame of passion in your relationship.


• TUESDAY, entering Aries: March 21st is the day of celebration for Aries (present until April 20th) whose guardian angel is Machidiel. The Ram symbolises growth evolution, new beginnings. It’s a cardinal and masculine sign. It symbolises action, impulsiveness and extraversion. It’s a sign of enthusiasm, sincerity, self-confidence, agility and power.

• FRIDAY, reignite the passion: but Jerusalem or Bethlehem incense, charcoal and a burner from a specialist shop.

For a few minutes, focus all your thoughts on the object of your love and try to visualise them making you smile or taking you in their arms or kissing you. It’s vital you imagine them actually in the process of a gesture that expresses their love for you. Later the same day, collect the ashes of the incense that symbolise the earth in which the strongest sentiments grow stronger, and throw them into the wind over your head.

When you’re in bed, before you go to sleep, read what you’ve written and then speak the following prayer: « Uriel, stand above me, Michaël, stand below me, Raphaël, stand to my left, Gabriel, stand to my right. Through your power, oh Great Angels, shine your light on me.

Make the most of this time by focusing on making headway in plans that need a clear and lucid mind. You may find some old papers or objects you thought you’d lost. This is a good day for starting a diet and preparing for the arrival of Spring-!

• TUESDAY,
your thought for the day: stop saying « Work takes up all my time… » and instead say « There’s time enough for everything! » So many people fail to organise their time properly and doing everything at the last minute, permanently wasting time through disorganisation. These words will help you organise your time carefully and, more importantly, stop work overwhelming you and leaving you feeling guilty you didn’t manage better.

• WEDNESDAY, 
a bath of purification: this is the perfect time for freeing yourself of negative thought patterns that are stopping you from taking your plans forward. A bath with certain essential oils can have a purifying effect. In a glass, miss 4 drops of oliban 3 drops of myrrh and 1 drop of sandalwood oil. Then mix in two soupspoons of sweet almond oil and throw the lot into a hot bath. Stay in the water for at least half an hour and relax. The best time for this bath is in the evening, before you go to bed.

• THURSDAY, 
the lunar fast: on this day of the Full Moon, a fast is an excellent way of revitalising yourself physically and mentally. As you know, we sometimes feel different on the day of the Full Moon, perhaps more stressed, or depressed. Fasting on this day not only mitigates these negative effects, it also purifies and detoxifies your body. It’s simple: don’t eat any solid food for 24 hours. Just drink water, thyme infusions and/or green tee (Japanese style). If possible (if you’re a smoker) abstain for cigarettes. You can do this fast on every Full Moon. And if you want to make your fast more potent, limit yourself to fruit the day before and the day after the Full Moon. The positive impact of these three days will amaze you!

• FRIDAY, 
a ritual for studies and exams: you need concentration, focus, memory and luck. This ritual uses 4 plants; the number 4 symbolises solidity, personal conviction, totality and willpower. Make a little bag using purple coloured velour fabric, measuring 6cm x 6cm. In a bowl, mix a spoon of rosemary, another of horned clover, one of caraway seeds and one of peppermint. Add an ID-type photograph, a lock of your hair and a slip of paper with your handwriting on it. With your hands stretched over the bowl, repeat the following words 7 times over: « I summon thee, Holy Spirit, through the power of the All-Mighty, the wisdom and the virtue of God, through Divine Knowledge and all the Holy Names, which Adam invoked and so came to have knowledge of all things. Holy Spirit, I beseech you to help me find all the knowledge and understanding I need in my studies, and for your help in passing my exams with your support, help and benevolence. May it be so! »Put all these things into the little sachet and sew it up with purple thread. You can keep it in your pocket during the day and tuck it under your pillow at night. Then, on the day of rest, add a recitation of the oration, while at the same time placing your hands on the little pouch while and focusing all your thoughts on your future success.

• SATURDAY, 
words for the weekend: « Whatever I do, I will throw myself into it, heart and soul ». Write this sentence in red ink on a piece of white paper and keep it on you throughout the weekend. Whenever you have an opportunity, read it and take a few moments to imagine yourself in a situation in your life to which it could apply. On Sunday evening, burn the paper, after reading it one last time.

• SUNDAY, 
your lucky numbers: 14 - 18 - 29 - 35 -38 - 42.

Pentacle for March


• March pentacle: this pentacle offers an opportunity to re-establish justice and right wrongs. It’s an object of power, a connection between you and the higher, divine forces. It’s personal and for use by you and you alone. To make your pentacle you’ll need: a piece of white card measuring 10 x 10 cm, an ink pen and red ink and a red candle. Light the candle and say: « With this flame I light up my soul in the light of the Sun; Ray of truth, ray of knowledge, ray of nature, be with me in my endeavours, in my mind and my being. May the triple candle of grace light up my soul and protect me from problems and jealousies. May the strength of the light drive my work and empower my pentacle, so it may have the power to make my dreams come true. This is my will! » Draw the pentacle in one line without stopping: draw the first circle then the second. Draw the central cross and continue with the five-point stars. Finish by writing in the magical names and signs. Press your hands on it and say the following blessing: « O all-powerful Adonaï, He is very powerful, Agia very holy, Aleph and the Tau, the beginning and the end; with great humility I beg  and entreat you, Holy Majesty, that this March Pentacle may be blessed by Your Power and prepared to receive virtue and the strength to bring renewed justice.In Your Name, O most saintly Adonaï, whose kingdom, empire and authority will survive all tests of time and last into infinity. » To finish, sign it on the back and then write below « help me ». Keep it on your for the whole month. At the end of the month, burn it in the flame of a red candle.
