Address to the world by the National Council of Elders Mayas, Xinca and Garifuna
The Maya finally speak up about the meaning of 2012.
The Maya have taken center stage because many fear the supposed end date of their calendar marks the end of the world. Most of this information comes from non-Mayans and it is not accurate…the Maya’s message is simple: “Our actions have created a world out of balance that must be rebalanced immediately in order for us to avoid more suffering…to humans and to all life.”

To my brothers and sisters around the world:
In the name of the Heart of the Heavens and the Heart of the Earth, greetings from Guatemala and the National Council of Elders Mayas, Xinca and Garifuna.
I, Wakatel Utiw, “Wandering Wolf,” Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, humbly offer this message to you. I speak now of what we see happening in the world today. According to the Maya Calendars we are living in the time of the 13 Baktun and 13 Ajau. This is a time that comes accompanied with great pain. We are seeing a series of events approaching us as never seen before, these events come charged with tremendous sufferings and pain. They will happen in different places. They will touch us equally, men and women, old and young, indigenous or non-indigenous.
All this is due to the contamination. The atmosphere has lost its control. We the Maya see it with much sadness that we will see hunger and drought. Plagues will invade the fields and affect the agriculture; new illnesses will appear and will be difficult to cure. The sun rays are getting stronger and stronger as time goes by.
Our recommendation to avoid more suffering is this: No more nuclear testing, no more wars, no more mining and other explorations, no more use of chemicals. This is the only way the human race, the animals and the ancient trees could survive and see the new Sun*. If we do not change, few will be the ones to survive and see the arrival of the 6th Sun.
Let’s reconcile with our Creator and our Mother Earth, each one in our own way. For us the Maya will be with our Sacred Fire.
Respectfully,
Wandering Wolf
*Note: RE: “Sun.” Contrary to popular belief the living elders of the Maya do not agree that December 21, 2012 is the end of their calendar. A new “Sun” represents the beginning of a new Long Count cycle in the calendar system of approximately 5,200 years, which they say may not happen for many years.

Thanks for having that cleared up by our Mayan correspondent. I'm impressed.
ReplyDelete:D Just amended the post, to add the website I copied the letter from.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can make out, some westerners have dug out some indigenous bods and are spreading their message in the hope of counteracting all of that newagey cultural misappropriation, blahdiblah....
Dont know what they think of bikinis tho.
What would those uneducated peasants know about the world? Chemicals & contamination are the tools of prosperity & devlopment. Just ask our educated leaders.
ReplyDeletegosh!
ReplyDeleteyeah but no but. I have a number of acquaintances who have made youtubes all about hopi and mayan prophecies and I find them intensely annoying in a 'dancing like a piece of seaweed and still wearing too much velvet and patchouli into my forties' kind of way. Annoying. Lots of hearsay about prophecies by people they know zilch about. But they've all read Carlos Castaneda, the great big phony. And they're all smug about 2012. So I was glad to find this bizzo.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean to say Velvet isn't "in" anymore?
ReplyDeleteWish you'd let me know earlier...
