CRACKING THE MAYA CODE
The story behind the centuries-long decipherment of ancient Maya hieroglyphs. The ancient Maya civilization of Central America left behind an intricate and mysterious hieroglyphic script, carved on monuments, painted on pottery, and drawn in handmade bark-paper books. For centuries, scholars considered it too complex ever to understand—until recently, when an ingenious series of breakthroughs finally cracked the code and unleashed a torrent of new insights into the Mayas' turbulent past. For the first time, NOVA presents the epic inside story of how the decoding was done—traveling to the remote jungles of southern Mexico and Central America to investigate how the code was broken and what Maya writings now reveal.

Red Earth Wavespell
kin 157 to 169
12 - 24 sep 2010

Ability to go with the flow – and/or – earth healing
evolve, navigation, synchronicity

Seal Earth: Caban is ‘the one that moves’. Just like the Earth that is always turning. Just like the cycles of nature that are always in motion. The power of Earth is a loving and leading force that asks you to keep moving, to let go and to have faith in the outcome of your journey.

Earth Wavespell: What new thread is evolving in your life? Can you see how your path is connected to the Universe? Don’t hesitate to follow it.
It may be that you are easily distracted from your activity. After all, so much is happening simultaneously! Remain focused and follow your path. Stubbornness may be in your way during these 13 days. You might meet people who are totally convinced of their own ideas and who refuse to let go of them. Are they reflecting what you are doing yourself? Use the absorbing quality of Mother Earth to let this stubbornness flow into her. Earth will transform your suspicion into faith and she will remind you of your path. Earthquakes may appear out of nowhere, causing major shifts in your work or in your personal life.

White Dog Wavespell
kin 170 to 182
25 sep - 7 oct 2010

Self love
love, heart, loyalty

Seal Dog: Dog is the power of love in all her diversity, to give love as well as to receive love. Dog provides the ability to connect intimately with the people around you and to open up for friendship, romance and to start a family.

Dog Wavespell: Dog is about faith and loyalty, about guiding and being guided. What is it that guides you? Is it good for you? Do you refuse to see something in order to avoid a confrontation? Be in charge of your own life and be loyal to your ideals. What is it you long for? What makes your heart sing? It is time to open your heart. In order to be true to yourself, you sometimes need to give a clear signal to another. Allow yourself to bare your teeth at times.
The Mayan word for dog also means feet. Pay attention to your feet, so you don’t stub your toe. Feet might very well mean ‘to follow’ or ‘to stand with both feet on the ground’.

Blue Night Wavespell
kin 183 to 195
8 - 20 oct 2010

Exploring the inner world
dream, abundance, intuition

Seal Night: Night is the power of darkness, the domain of the dream. When it is dark and there is no sight to rely upon, you will switch to other senses. The information you will then obtain might surprise you. Don’t be afraid, just be silent and be aware of everything that is around you.

Night Wavespell: These days you might feel more tired than usual. Go to bed if you want to, it’s Dream Time! Write down your dreams. Housing issues might ask your attention these 13 days. If so, give it your attention. This could also be your inner house. Do you feel at home in and with yourself? In the Dream World there is no shortage. Fear of shortage is the opposite of abundance. Don’t be tempted to fall back into your fears. The Wavespell challenges you; keep the faith!

Yellow Warrior Wavespell

21 oct - 2 nov 2010

To conquer
question, intelligence, fearlessness

Seal Warrior: Warrior is the power of fearlessness. He’s got the power to step forward in difficult situations to defend his own truth. Warrior collects wisdom by asking questions. A question goes with an answer. The one who is willing to listen will gather true wisdom.

Warrior Wavespell: Temptation is near in the shape of beautiful things; you are especially drawn to shining things! It is the Warrior, the Crow and the Vulture in you that make you greedy. Don’t be seduced; ask questions instead. Do I really need that? Will that make me happy? Clarify your motivations. You may be a bit confused these days, due to all this questioning. Nothing seems obvious anymore. Be fearless, for it is quite a special state of being when nothing is certain anymore. Enjoy it and don’t be too serious. Asking questions is the key to wisdom, but be prepared to listen to the answers, regardless of the outcome.
