8 Ahau (November 7)

8 Ahau (November 7):This is a day to honor the ancestors. In our own society, there is a tendency to blame all one’s problems on the influence of “dysfunctional” family members. In contrast, Mayan society focuses on the positive and benevolent qualities of older family members who have passed – never upon their difficulties. Light a candle for them. If you are thinking of building or taking possession of a new home, this is the day to lay the foundations or to turn the key in the door for the first time.
