It is mid-December and 2018 is getting ready to pack its bags and retreat into the annals of history. For many this has been a year fraught with enormous challenges, many of which were directly linked to severe events associated with environment-related disasters. From the perspective of the Maya calendar, we have just come through one complete cycle of the Read the full article…

Mid November and the end of the year is looming, and we are now coming close to the end of current One Imix-to-Thirteen Ajaw cycle. This Men (Eagle) trecena tends to be a kind of “head’s-up”, “call-to-action” period, associated with valour and the push towards supremacy.
