Many of the creations of the Mayan culture have been lost in transitions and acts over time. There are many threads that do still exist, giving us insights into the spiritual teachings presented in those ancient times. Some think the Mayan culture was an alien group that suddenly left. Others think that the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, and many other wisdoms in the Mayan days were carried forth from some other civilization, point toward ancient Egypt, or the mythical land called Atlantis.
No one has the definitive answer as to the meaning of the many symbols or glyphs, nor their origin. We all must agree on one thing, that given a chance these symbols give us opportunity to think, to expand our own consciousness. This is the intent and direction of the Mayan Daily Insights – it is not about the box created by our interpretation, creating a static container to live within. No, it is about the content itself, the expression of our soul within a world.
There are many great books that can each play a part in your own exploration of self. I share with you some of those books. I also invite you to purchase my own writings: Being Here Now and Now Is The Time To Believe. These two books are available in ebook format.
Books – Mayan Tzolkin and Related Topics
Here are some of the Mayan Tzolkin related books I have enjoyed, or come as recommendations by others:
The Codex Borgia
Jaguar Wisdom
It makes an interesting read as well as a great reference book, delving into the Mayan Tzolkin calendar as well as Mayan astrology.
The Alchemy of Nine Dimensions
Popol Vuh: The Definitive Edition of The Mayan Book of The Dawn of Life and The Glories of Gods and Kings
The 8 Calendars of the Maya: The Pleiadian Cycle and the Key to Destiny
The Mayan Tzolkin calendar is one of many calendars created and used by the Mayans. In the Tzek’eb we explore the sacred relationship between Earth and the Pleiades. In our sacred tradition, our lives synchronize with the whole cosmos because our Sun is part of the Pleiadian star system. The 8 Calendars of the Maya: The Pleiadian Cycle and the Key to Destiny.
Atlantis and 2012: The Science of the Lost Civilization and the Prophecies of the Maya
The Mayan Calendar was invented by the combined genius of Atlantis and Lemuria and describes how it predicts an eternal cycle of global creation, destruction, and renewal. 2012 could be the start of a new ice age and the advent of a massive solar storm. However, Joseph shows that the Maya knew the way to reestablish civilization’s cosmic balance before time runs out.

Tarot and Oracles Cards
There are again many choices. I have the book for Wisdom of the Maya, but do not have the oracle cards. Still I have enjoyed reading this book.
I own two decks of oracle cards that relate to the Mayan Tzolkin, only one made it on my recommended list. Others are on my wish list! If you have any of these and would like to share your experience, I’d love to hear about it! Here’s what I have:
