Greetings everyone,


In this message I will tell you something which I had the opportunity to speak about with a brazilian friend of mine called Thiago (13 Lamat), which has to with José Argüelle's Kin, according to the traditional Mayan calendar (I'm referring to the correlation GMT1 or 584283, which coincides with the modern Quiché count of the Cholq'ij/Tzolkin).

Well, what happens is that the Kin (mayan day of birth) of Argüelles in the traditional calendar is 10 CHICCHAN (10-Serpent, or "red planetary serpent" using the terms employed in the Dreamspell), and that Kin is intimately associated with a very important mayan Venus Lord, called Lahun-Chan. "Lahun" means Ten, and "Chan" is the archaic form of "Can" (Serpent), which proves the connection between this god and this specific Kin. You can confirm that Argüelles' Kin is 10-Serpent, through these pages (remember that he was born January 24th, 1939):

(Quiché names; gives "Lajuj Kaan" which is "Lahun Chicchan" (=Can, Chan) in the classical mayan dialect).

When I made this discovery, I was pretty intrigued because --as a follower of the millenar and traditional Mayan calendar-- I always saw Argüelles as a charlatan, which used the ancient Mayan wisdom to promote himself as a Christ (a so-called saviour of Humankind, "he who closes the cycle") and his own fabricated pseudo-mayan calendar called Dreamspell. However, the fact that Argüelles' Kin was the sacred day of a Venus Lord (being this planet traditionally connected to Quetzalcoatl-Kukulkan, or to more obscure gods like Tezcatlipoca and Itztlacoliuhqui), in a way it confirmed that Argüelles will have an important role. That was why I talked with my friend Thiago, to speak about this and, maybe, to know his opinion about this subject.

As I imagined, Thiago, who is a "traditional mayanist" like me, was also surprised by this. However, after our conversation I made some research about the god Lahun-Chan and discovered something which is very interesting and suggestive. See for yourselves:

«"Drunkard, deformed dog is his prognostic. The head of a jaguar; the rear of a dog. A meddler, a prattler, dishonest in his speech, an experimenter in mutual hatred, a sower of discord. Great." This category of unpleasant characteristics fits the description of Lahun-Chan, "10 Sky", the principal god of the planet Venus (...)»
- From Combined Dictionary-Concordance of the Yucatecan Mayan Language: Lahbal – Lakintic

(The reference to "10 Sky" instead of "10 Serpent" has to do with the similarity between the mayan words Chan and Chaan (or Can and Caan), which mean Serpent and Sky. In several mayan dialects, "serpent" and "sky" correspond exactly to the same word, without any difference in the pronounciation.)

Now *THIS* is a very curious description of Lahun-Chan, don't you think?...

Any comments? ;)
