Fear not fellow Pagans/Wiccans/Heathens/Druids and Native Earth tradition-ers (lol) that don't identify with those terms but hold the same truth = we were right all along! The apocalypse is not coming to pass on Yule/Solstice this year. *sarcastic sigh of relief*
Just like we are 10,000-30,000 yrs ahead of the current judeo-christian timeline we're forced to use (depending on your tradition and the archaeological evidence of Goddess statues from 30k BC unearthed in recent years)... Mayan culture is ancient and their calender was not based on someone else's profit born across the world millennia after their amazing civilization had started and was thriving - it was based on their own scholars, cycles and environment (is it too immature to say DUH right now? lol) - which is why the Catholic church was burning it as heathen propaganda and had the opportunity to 'save' a piece from the fire so they could claim to know what it meant and completely get it wrong (sound familiar? its amazing how wide spread their destruction was/is and how much they like to burn things[or people] for being so afraid of fire).
As the article touches on, all to often the people making documentaries and publishing books are not the true Shaman and definitely not experts. To set the record straight for all those who thought all Native American and Native South American tribes were extinct and thus could claim to be experts on things they have no spiritual/cultural connection to, or true understanding of = guess what, you're being called out!
Gomez’s group issued a statement saying that the new Maya time cycle simply means "there will be big changes on the personal, family and community level, so that there is harmony and balance between mankind and nature.”
Mayans demand an end to 2012 doomsday myth

GUATEMALA CITY — Guatemala’s Mayan people accused the government and tour groups on Wednesday of perpetuating the myth that their calendar foresees the imminent end of the world for monetary gain.
“We are speaking out against deceit, lies and twisting of the truth, and turning us into folklore-for-profit. They are not telling the truth about time cycles,” charged Felipe Gomez, leader of the Maya alliance Oxlaljuj Ajpop.
Several films and documentaries have promoted the idea that the ancient Mayan calendar predicts that doomsday is less than two months away, on December 21, 2012.
The Culture Ministry is hosting a massive event in Guatemala City — which as many as 90,000 people are expected to attend — just in case the world actually does end, while tour groups are promoting doomsday-themed getaways.
Maya leader Gomez urged the Tourism Institute to rethink the doomsday celebration, which he criticized as a “show” that was disrespectful to Mayan culture.
Experts say that for the Maya, all that ends in 2012 is one of their calendar cycles, not the world.
Gomez’s group issued a statement saying that the new Maya time cycle simply “means there will be big changes on the personal, family and community level, so that there is harmony and balance between mankind and nature.”
Oxlajuj Ajpop is holding events it considers sacred in five cities to mark the event and Gomez said the Culture Ministry would be wise to throw its support behind their real celebrations.
More than half of Guatemala’s population of nearly 15 million are from indigenous groups of Mayan descent.
The Mayan calendar has 18 months of 20 days each plus a sacred month, “Wayeb,” of five days. “B’aktun” is the larget unit in the time cycle system, and is about 400 years. The broader era spans 13 B’aktun, or about 5,200 years.
The Mayan culture enjoyed a golden age between 250 AD and 900 AD.
LOL I love it. Stand up Mayan People! We should all send them all the support we can, by telling people we know NOT to go there, do ritual to safely and gently but very effectively change their plans (no harm to anyone, but to help the Tribe's wishes to be respected) and instead of the doomsday celebration they were planning, send energy that we collectively open ourselves up to this amazingly beautiful shift of energy that is desperately needed.
