The Importance of April 6th, 1993
May 26th, 1992. by John Major Jenkins
Excerpt from "Tzolkin: Visionary Perspectives and Calendar Studies"
(1992, 1994; pages 270-272).

April 6th, 1993 is the beginning of the last katun period
of the Mayan Great Cycle.

A katun is about 20 years in length,
and there are 260 katuns in a Great Cycle of 13 baktuns
(about 5125 years).

There is a lot of talk in New Age circles about "nexus points" in time, marking the celebration of collective experiences
which will culminate in the dawning of a new era
sometime around 2012 A.D. Harmonic Convergence,
the 11:11 event, Dreamspell; what is this all about?

I will try to make a case for April 6th, 1993
being a nexus point in the Mayan Calendar.

Most importantly, the date has the authority
of being rooted in a 3000-year old calendar tradition.

The tendency in modern myth-making
is to use the general frame work of
the ancient Sacred Calendar oracle,
and twist the specifics to fit ones own agenda.

While modern "Harmonic Convergence" type events
claim to be supported by the Mayan Calendar,
where does the still living true Count of Days
stand in relation to the modern New Age interpretations?

Where do the Quiche, Ixil,
and other indigenous groups
(Indian groups ?- is likely a very poor choice of words)

and, other indigenous groups
who are still following
the unbroken Count of Days fit into the picture?

What I want to do here is present an important date
reckoned by the traditional Sacred Count
which is no less amazing than some of
the Neo-Mayan derivatives.


What day is it today?

Today is May 25th, 1992. 2500 miles to the southeast of Colorado,
daykeepers in the Highlands of Guatemala
are throwing tzi-tzi seeds,
divining day-sign auguries for clients
according to the sacred 260-day count.

For them, today is called 3 Kan (3 Serpent).

Tomorrow will be 4 Came (4 Death).

The combination of 13 numbers
and 20 day-signs repeats every 260 days,
and the same sequence of days
has been followed unbroken
throughout Mesoamerica for some 3000 years.

Extending the count further back in time,
to the beginning date of the Mayan Great Cycle in 3114 B.C.,
we find that the first day was 4 Ahau.

The beginning date is named by its Julian Day number:
584283.

This count is the standard
(otherwise known as the GMT correlation),
and is supported by findings in ethnohistory,
archeology, and astronomy.

In addition, it corresponds with the surviving count
in Highland Guatemala.

It gives us the Great Cycle end date of December 21st, 2012 A.D.,
which also occurs on 4 Ahau.

According to the GMT reckoning,
we are due to end the second-to-last katun
of the Great Cycle on April 5th, 1993 (6 Ahau).

The final katun begins the following day, April 6th - 12.19.0.0.1.

This, in itself, is a justified "nexus point" in the Mayan Calendar.

However, there is another fact that makes it even more so;
Venus rises as morning star on April 6th.

The Mayans were astute observers of the Venus cycle.

In fact, one of the three remaining Mayan books,
the Dresden Codex, records the occurrences
of morningstar Venus risings for several centuries
circa 900 A.D.

Also, the three primary cycles of Mayan time,
the Venus cycle (584 days), the vague solar year (365 days),
and the sacred almanac (260 days) were synchronized
by a Venus rising known as the Sacred Day of Venus,
to occur on 1 Ahau.

(Ahau means marksman, blowgunner, lord, sun.)

How often should we expect a Venus rising to coincide
with a katun beginning?

A katun equals 7200 days.

The Venus cycle has 583.92 days.

The relationship of these two periods
is such that 3 katuns equals 37 Venus cycles.

For both to meet on an Ahau day is more rare;
the beginning of every 15th katun
coincides with a Venus morningstar rising on an Ahau day.

15 katuns is almost 300 years.

Actually, this is just the pure mathematics of it.

Due to variations in the Venus cycle
the combination of factors
which come together on April 6th, 1993
is undeniably unique.

It is significant that the Venus emergence as morningstar
coincides with a katun beginning one day after an Ahau day (6 Ahau),
because Ahau is, according to the Dresden Codex, the senior day-sign.

In fact, as mentioned above, 1 Ahau is the Sacred Day of Venus,
which begins a 104-year period called the Venus Round.

In light of this, I must mention that the 4.5.93 date points us
to another significant "nexus point" in the Mayan calendar.

About 8 years after the 4.5.93 event,
Venus again emerges as morningstar
(5 Venus cycles approximately equal 8 solar years).

This time the emergence occurs on 1 Ahau,
the traditional Sacred Day of Venus.

For reasons detailed in a study presently underway,
this 1 Ahau date, April 3rd, 2001,
appears to be a modern Sacred Day of Venus.

The most obvious reason is that it meets the Classic Maya criteria
of occuring on 1 Ahau.

Although the Venus Calendar tradition had become fragmented
by the time of the conquest
and is no longer followed
by any surviving Mayan groups,
the Venus rising on 1 Ahau in the year 2001
represents a modern reinauguration
of the old Venus Round ritual.

So essentially, we have two important upcoming "nexus points"
in the true calendar tradition:

1) April 6th 1993 designates a katun beginning
and a Venus rising (as well as full moon!)

on the day 6 Ahau, and

2) April 3rd, 2001 is a Sacred Day of Venus
(1 Ahau Venus emergence as morning star).

The "true" calendar tradition is the count
used by the Classic Period Maya (300 - 900 A.D.),
and in fact all Mesoamerican Indian groups
including the present day Maya in Highland Guatemala.

Some fringe-science books honor the traditional count,
Bruce Scofield's Day-Signs among them.

Others have divorced modern myth-making
from its ethnohistoric source.

While this is not criminal in terms of myth-making,
such an approach should be distinguished
from surviving daykeeper traditions
which can claim the authority of its ancient Mayan source.

Responsible myth-making must recognize the difference
between a metaphor's denotation
and its connotation (as Joseph Campbell would say);
a myth does not dictate truth,
it points us towards it.

When we try to make myths into graven images,
we get Fundamentalist Religions.

In summary, this is almost a statement of defense
against half-truths being published
which dishonor the Mayan Calendar tradition,
and neglect the "holders of the flame" in Highland Guatemala.

Specifically, I am speaking about the reports concerning Dreamspell,
to begin on July 26th, 1992. In a Welcome To Planet Earth (April '91) interview
with Jose Arguelles, the coordinator
of Harmonic Convergence and Dreamspell,
he calls the above Dreamspell date the beginning of the final katun.

In the June/July '92 Mountain Astrologer ,
Maya del Mar reiterates this claim,
and also says that "we celebrate the Mayan New Year"
on that date (another distortion of the ethnohistoric record).

While the inspiring myths promoted through
Dreamspell may catalyze the masses,
that date does not represent the beginning
of the final katun of the Great Cycle.

The day to day count promoted in Dreamspell
also does not correspond with the one used in Highland Guatemala
(the Classic Period count), and in fact will not give us 4 Ahau
as the end date on December 21st, 2012 A.D.

If the mythological specifics of the Sacred Calendar
must change to fit contemporary needs, fine.

If so, one is not justified in claiming the "Mayan Calendar"
as their source of astrolo-mythic "nexus points" in time.
