The Mayan Calendar
source: http://www.thevesselofgod.com:
The Mayan Calendar has 13 dots around counter-clockwise.
13 is the second star number of the hexagon.
13 major joints in the body.
13 lunar cycles in a year.
The moon travels 13 degrees across the sky everyday.
The glyph which represents both the start and end of the Aztec calendar is known as "13 Cane", and symbolizes the death of one cycle, followed by the birth of another - the Alpha and Omega.
There's the 13th rune - called "Eiwaz" - in the Northern European mythos- the balance point between light and dark, the creative force and the destructive force, or the heavens and the Underworld. It too is the Alpha and Omega at the same time.
In the traditional tarot deck, the 13th card is the Death card. It also represents not merely death, but rebirth and renewal. {same principles as the Phoenix...nothing's coincidental..} Furthermore, To the ancient Egyptians, these sources tell us, life was a quest for spiritual ascension which unfolded in stages — 12 in this life and a 13th beyond, thought to be the eternal afterlife.
These were obviously pivotal concepts to ancient cultures, the understanding of which has faded down the centuries.
This information could go on and on but for those of you who take many stories/allegories literally in the popular Holy books- are you now perhaps able to see a pattern??
12 apostles and a Messiah. 12 Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur. 12 constellations + the sun. 12 main chakras + the 3rd eye..
Obviously I'm not summarizing all esoteric/arcane information in one blog but-
Post-Christianity"/"post-Vatican", this information was suppressed,re-arranged and mythologized.. many of the religious stories and characters people take as literal are symbols of ancient science.. big pill to swallow for many but it is what it is.
but anyway...thus,
In Western civilization, there's this thing called TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA, which is defined as fear of the number 13.
Independent study will often teach you that that which you are told to not explore holds much information pertinent to your self-mastery, as well as the answers to many questions about life, the universe, and everything in between...
Ive learned that most people cannot even justify their aversion to the number 13...just another mysterious concept that the "sheeple" (people who blindly follow like sheep)avoid, becuase they believed what they were taught without foundation or justification..
The Chinese regarded the number as lucky, some commentators note, as did the Egyptians in the time of the pharaohs and pharoahesses.
ife.
Though Egyptian civilization perished, the symbolism conferred on the number 13 by its priesthood survived, only to be corrupted by subsequent cultures who came to associate 13 with a fear of death instead of a reverence for the afterlife...
Other sources speculate that the number 13 may have been purposely vilified by the founders of patriarchal (male-dominated) religions in the early days of western civilization because it represented femininity. Thirteen had been revered in prehistoric goddess-worshiping cultures, we are told, because it corresponded to the number of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364 days). The "Earth Mother of Laussel," for example — a 27,000-year-old carving found near the Lascaux caves in France often cited as an icon of matriarchal spirituality — depicts a female figure holding a cresent-shaped horn bearing 13 notches.
As the solar calendar triumphed over the lunar with the rise of male-dominated civilization, it is surmised, so did the number 12 over the number 13, thereafter considered ANATHEMA....
12 months /zodiac in a year...12 disciples....you get it...anything to avoid 13 because 13 was a "goddess-represented" number...
Anyway, there are thirteen principles of faith in the Jewish religion and boys don't have a bah mitzvah til they turn thirteen....
13 is considered a "Karmic Debt Number," as are the numbers 14, 16, and 19. These numbers involve more challenging karma than other numbers.
Otherwise, in matters of love, the number 13 involving time cycles is solid and very often exceedingly fruitful.
Peep what one of my favorite Master Teachers Bobby Hemmitt breaks down re: the number 13 in this excerpt..(hes raw with it. He speaks about it around 1:13.. [If u are a traditional thinker who accepts/believes what's "in the box", this may be a little left but its dope...] If u feel adventurous, continue to listen and he breaks down why holidays from valentines day to Easter/Christmas are scheduled on specific days...this calls to mind even the world cup taking place during a solar eclipse/new moon..
If u have any other information about the number 13, please share. I know there's a lot.
I know that my fellows Moors have information on 13 i'd like to know...
Now, u see a lot of the numerological energy im workin/walking with.
Later. Going to soak it all up and celebrate on this birthday...
