The Tzolk'in is the Sacred Calendar that the Maya utilized for their own sacred personal journey. It is not a master calendar providing a unifying pattern for all creation and the hub of the Mayan calendar system. The meaning of the Tzolk’in is mostly given as “the count of days” but it may also be translated into “pieces of the sun” and by inference to “pieces of divine creation”, which may come closest to its true meaning given that among the Maya, the sun has often been identified with God. Inspired by the articles about this calendar, I decided to write a small series of illustrated stories in which I reveal the lives of the heroes of those ancient times, adding a little magic and unearthly technologies.
