In addition to its role as a contact to the ancestors, many Maya used the calendar for celebrating significant energy shifts. At such times shamanic kings made prophecies about the future within the new energy. A basis for knowledge was developed about how the energies shifted according to the calendar and in combination with a shamanic connection to the world tree prophecies of relevance to the present moment and the immediate time ahead.
Why not use the calendar once again, based on the deeper understanding at our disposal regarding its meaning. The Maya are providing access to vast knowledge of the cosmic world that was not been available since ancient times.

The aspect of the Mayan calendar system that is still in use today is the Sacred Calendar of 260 days. Mayan day-keepers pray daily to the Creator and perform ceremonies that honor the day signs. Among the living Maya the 260-day calendar serves various functions:
Keep track of the energies of each day.
Calculate birth energies of individuals.
Determine the celebration of holy days.
Healing practices.
Prophecy and divination.
