Letting go of the necessary foe.

We stand in the dead of winter, in the cold of emptiness, the abyss of a crumbling world, of a war ridden society, of mental fragmentation, zombie apocalypse is happening. We yell and shout and no one replies, yet everyone hears. Not the most beautiful words, not the most powerful revelations, not the most helpful of guidance, not the most sincere of sharing; only the shallow, vague, superficial, is entertaining and deserves reactions and friendship.

Millions of people still believe that a savior is coming. This savior has already come, has been amongst us, trying to shine through the mist, yet they are so hopelessly lost that they missed him, they are unsavable. No wonder a few satanists resolve in finding ways to exterminate y'all. But this is of their doing. Every cent taxed from us is invested in ways to deceive, confuse and control us. It is then up to us to do the work to get out of the spider webs and choose to see the sunlight.

This is a digging worm type of sun ray nawal. It is doing it's hardest trying to reach you and warm you up. It can only do so by shining light on what is around. The spiders are the ones that cocoon you with pretty fairy tales of everything is alright and we are cool. Artificial positivity is truly negative. Today's nawal represents that letting go of intent, the fall, the radical liberation from existence when we say "I'm done"!

Giving space to our worse enemy, ourselves, listening to our most negative thoughts, is a positive practice sponsored by today's unique combination. The party of the Q'aniil is almost over and this is the moment you realize that what comes next is cleaning the awful mess. There is a difference in getting caught by surprise by today's energy, or following the days and being ready for it. In the first scenario we might break apart, loose it or retreat to some unfound state. In the second scenario we sit with our internal enemy and give him some love. We listen to him and ask today's nawal for guidance.

The nawal then speaks and tells us that our negativity is not always and not fully there to mess with us. It is also here to keep us grounded, to balance us, to make sure we save some energy in the party for the cleaning after. In this energy you will find yourself if not cursing, wanting to release ties, break away, send others away or free yourself from yourself. Something is not quite right. That negative entity we were postponing, that we thought we casted out, we have to sit with it today. He/she is there for something, it has a message. Listen carefully and openly, find a way to relate positively with it. If this is accomplished, then we will be able to spot that what was truly negative for us, were our negative thoughts and ideas that were simply untrue. Our negativity is here for something. Relate to it in a loving, animistic way and you will discover the true and let go of the untrue.

Break.

Growth is not merely the autopoietic drive held within each seed and species that allows it to fulfill its role within the greater ecology. It is the gestation of the cosmos itself—a force that generates life and takes life through a relentless forge of transformation, adaptation, and fortitude. Time is pure motion; nothing remains static. We are the precise balance sustained within a storm of creation. Life is not at peace and never will be. Conflict is its very genesis. This is why existence is perpetually confronted with hardship, and why there is always a pressure pushing us directly to the edge.

That edge is precisely where we find ourselves under a day like this—or at least, that is what this nawal combination comes to embody. A break, then, is what we may choose. Short or long, for temporary rest or a permanent severance. Surrendering, walking away, dropping into silence, giving it the finger—it is all an integral part of the process. The seed has been buried in the soil for a while now, and no rain has fallen to make it sprout. It sits on the verge of death, or perhaps it has already died. It gave everything it had to give.

Unlike a dedicated death nawal that transitions us into an immediate rebirth or a new form, this energy represents an absolute blackout, an honest giving up, a necessary rupture or clean break. Yet as the word break implies, it carries a dual truth. As permanent as we may wish it to be, beneath its sharp, drastic, and unyielding cutting power lies the law that nothing is fixed, and therefore nothing is permanent—at least not on this living side of the cosmos. Something new is undeniably forming, but to receive it, we must first be brought to the threshold where we refuse to carry the old any longer. Whatever rupture you choose to make under the edge of this nawal, it holds its own blessing.

The Flint / Obsidian Blade / The Sacred Knife / Cleansing Rupture ( Tijax) represents the double-edged blade of cosmic law—the force that cuts away disease, deceit, and stagnation to restore fundamental truth. It is the obsidian scalpel of the healer and the warrior's blade, governing sudden endings, spiritual surgery, suffering, and the swift separation of the essential from the toxic. In its eleventh position (Ju'lajuj), it carries the dynamic, erratic, and highly transformative energy of resolution through disharmony—where accumulated tension reaches its breaking point to force a necessary shift.

To embody Eleven Tijax is to wield the blade without hesitation or self-deception. It demands the radical honesty required to make a clean cut when an environment, habit, or dynamic has run out of life. At this late stage of the trecena, Tijax acts as a cosmic circuit breaker, interrupting the slow decay of the buried seed by severing what cannot survive the coming cycle. It reminds us that walking away or letting something shatter is not always a failure; often, it is the highest act of spiritual precision—clearing the path so that what comes next is built on absolute truth.
