Having found the geometric underpinning
At the heart of the design of the Aztec calendar,
Where Do I go from here?
Here is a geometric symbol from Tibet,
One of the Eight Auspicious religious symbols,
The endless Knot, the Knot of Eternity,
Described on one site as symbolizing
“the unity of all things and the
illusory character of time.”

I’ve expanded it a little.
Don’t know where I’m going with this.
Here is a path.  More >

Listening to the music of Enya right now.
Looking at this picture I drew in early ‘78.
Just look at the black and white lines.
If you look at the Aztec calendar stone
Within the circle of days,
You see a quadrant.
The template for the quadrant
Consists of two rectangles,
Each in the ratio of two to one,
Meeting corner to corner.
In the center is the face of the Sun,
Tonatiuh.
From his open mouth,
His tongue bears the symbol of
The Obsidian sacrificial knife.
The tongue is the Knife.  More >

The Great Inland Sea
Between Africa and EurAsia
On the Great Continent Tethys,
The Mother of the Ocean
As the Greeks knew Her.

Surrounded by the Ring of Twenty Days,
Inscribed into the Aztec calendar stone.

Through the Horizon at Dawn.

The Great Inland Sea of North Ollin.
Below are the faces in profile
Of the Lord of Light and the Lord of Darkness,
Face to Face,
Obsidian knife tongue to obsidian knife tongue.
Interpret that as you please.
Speak words of Wisdom,
For my Life and Ours
Depends upon the Truth of our speech.
Each twin emerges from the mouth of a serpent,
The serpent of time as reflected in the movements of our planets,
Meeting tail to tail, at the keystone date, thirteen reed.

From my days in Madison, Wisconsin,
I recall visiting the pyramid earth mounds
At a place the western settlers called Aztalan,
For the people who had occupied the place had long gone,
And the mounds were reminiscent of the Mexican pyramids.

 On the Backs of Turtles2 comments

What we know as the American continents
are known as the twin turtles to the Native culture.
Globalizing the concept into the four turtles
of Eurasia including the Australian extension,
Africa, North Ollin and South Ollin,
the four quadrants of the Aztec calendar
each contain four circles.
In three of the quadrants, the arrangement is symmetrical,
while in the fourth, that of South Ollin,
the arrangement is asymmetrical.
All of this is just a meditation on
the nature of developing a consciousness
of the essential characteristics of the
design of the Aztec calendar stone.  More >
