The message from the Mayan World today (MAY EIGHT) comes from the 6th Mayan Archetype:
The Lovers

The Lovers Archetype is telling you to find the balance between the male and feminine within. Allow the two sides of yourself to learn from each other instead of warring on the inside. Men must learn by action and by doing. Women must first go inside and be still and then take action. The most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. Is it self-care? Self love? Self honour? Developing this quality awakens the lover within. You are then ready to truly love one another. Love is always an action of giving and receiving.

The message from the Mayan World today (MAY 7) comes from the 14th Mayan Archetype:
Rainbow Knight (Rainbow Warrior)

The Rainbow Warrior is telling you to see opportunity and possibility where others are stuck in opposition. He encourages you to transcend the places where you feel stuck in your life by being inspired by growth and self-knowledge. Be willing to do what will make a positive difference. You can make magic through creative and imaginative action instead of trying to defeat the other. As we begin to give of ourselves, we create much more impact than we thought we could.

The message from the Mayan World today (MAY 6) comes from the 17th Mayan Archetype:
Dream Weaver

Every time we manifest a piece of the dream it informs the dream what is next. Inspiration and motivation are the key words that will keep the energy moving forward. Action must be present. Action is physical and tangible – not thinking about it. Dream Weaver is telling you to create from your dreams and visions to give back to life. Take joy in living out your dreams. Be of service to life.

The message from the Mayan World today (MAY 5) comes from the 18th Mayan Archetype:
Magical Mysterious Character

This Magical Mysterious Character Archetype is telling you to commit to developing the character you were born to be. Psychic gifts grow full and ripe while other parts fall away. Notice your best parts and stop caring how others see you. This becomes crucial as we move into Dharma. Waters of life flow through the moon. Waters of emotion are being transformed into a deep sense of feeling that opens the doorway to psychic powers. Indicates the mind in all its levels of consciousness surrendering to inner light.

The message from the Mayan World today (MAY 4) comes from the 19th Mayan Archetype:
The Sun Child

The Sun’s perfection is telling you to shine no matter what just because you can. Risk your shining. Be productive with your knowledge. Be willing to be seen; no hiding your light or preening your ego. A large sun dominates. It is the spark of all of creation. It represents our inner/outer shining of us journeying on our path with heart. The only thing that can darken this card is if we don’t let our shining out... but it will happen anyway because the caked mud will fall away. In the end, the shining will come out.

The message from the Mayan World today (MAY 3) comes from the 13th Mayan Archetype:
Death Dancer

The Death Dancer Archetype is telling you to take death as an ally and release something. You will be stronger by releasing it. Death is an essential part of life. It is about death and changes vs. physical death. Her mouth is open and she appears to be smiling or even joyous as she walks on the skull and bones of the changes that this Death Dancer is making. Healing will impact her ancestral line – before and after. The green and fertile earth on the bottom of the card signifies rebirth.

The message from the Mayan World today (MAY 2) comes from the 4th Mayan Archetype:
The Ruler (The Leader)

Benevolent Patriarch is telling you to exercise your self discipline, balance, inner wisdom. Create what you desire even in opposition. Key is self command, major determination of what is needed. Step by step process. He is holding a bar called the Mayan bar of authority and leadership. He is staying aware of keeping ego under control so he doesn’t rule from a state of pity or importance. He maintains self mastery, compassion and stability while actualizing what he desires. Past is burned away. He is the consummate dreamer and stalker. Both the dreamer and the dream.

The message from the Mayan World today (MAY 1) comes from the 20th Mayan Archetype:
Feathered Wing Serpent (Great Spirit)

The FWS comes down from the As Above to the So Below and guides our entire journey in this lifetime. Gives its presence to us. Does not control or manipulate. Trying to get us to remember that we are children of Spirit. This Archetype is telling you to align your intent with the intent of divine nature. Be guided by the perspective that you are a healthy and beautiful cell in the body of Great Spirit. Have your actions be actions of responsibility. Care for your own life and for others' lives. Be willing to ask Spirit for help.
