If You Want To Know About Time Beings, You Need To Learn From The Mayans
They forgot more about time than you will ever know
This week’s guest is Red Path shaman and teacher Julian Katari.
Julian and I are actually friends. He arranged all the details for my trip up into the Bolivian High Andes a few months ago to meet and learn from the legendary Kallawaya healers.
The traditional ‘weird kid’ question could genuinely be its own book. I low-key hope it becomes one.
In the course of the episode, we talk about how this path finds you, what it is actually like being on it, and all kinds of amazing things.
And we also specifically talk about the Mayan calendar.
Firstly, Julian will be teaching a 20-week course on the Mayan calendar that will be exclusively available for Rune Soup premium members for $99 as an adjunct to our Time Magic course.
Secondly, and more importantly for this post, there is a part in the episode where we talk about how the Mayan calendar isn’t really astrology in the sense that it doesn’t carve up the sky the way other astrologies do. It’s more a division of space-time or a code for understanding universal energy. The upshot is they can work together very easily without ‘crashing into’ each other -at least when we are talking about the classic 20 days and 13 energies of the Tzolkin.
Anyway, great chat. Check it out!




I still got your blog content. Did people forget how to use an rss feed? Requires too much attention span..
Loved this... I am flirting with the concept of Time as understood by the Maya, and this was both educational and enjoyable!
