I've posted this before, but it may need to be revisited:

This is a diagram of the four TEOTL for the day and what part of the body they govern:

TONALLI {Shadow Soul}: [patron of the day] the heat/matte amber or gold

TEYOLLIA {Spirit Soul}: [number of the day] energy around the heart/green

NAHAUL{lord of the night}: animal spirit/blue

IHIYOTL {trecena}: essence or divine breath/ red

TEOTL often gets translated in "gods", but a more accurate word would be "ENERGIES"...

An extra credit assignment done for my Mesoamerican Art History class :]

As a Mexican artist and special interest holder on both Mexican (especially Mesoamerican) art and history it was a super fun class, I loved it! <3

On my two weeks off of work I just rested and did whatever I wanted. I wasn’t very productive, but that’s okay because productivity should never make you more or less valuable.

That being said, I did get around to skimming through Day Signs: Native American astrology from ancient Mexico and Mayan Calendar Astrology: Mapping Your Inner Cosmos. Even though I only flipped through these books, they actually did clear up some of my confusion I had on my tonalli. I knew bits and pieces of information but I didn’t have context to help me understand what any of the information meant or the impact it really had.

I’m going to make an effort to really read through and take notes of these books as I think they may provide me with more clarity. The more I research I do and more I learn, I am feeling a pull towards curanderismo and tonalli reading to add along side divination. I’m finally finding a path I can see a future in.

If there’s curanderos/as that are willing to help guide me, I’d really appreciate it! I want to hear from y’all what you think. Is there anything I should know before pursuing this? Do you think it’s a good idea? Why or why not? I want to hear the good and bad, I want to make a educated decision.

For now I will continue my research on my culture in general and where that takes me.
