Every Mayan Calendar Ahau Day – every twenty days – Wondering Wolf will deliver a Message to the World. These messages will be recorded in video, presented and archived here. As we approach Year Zero, and the much anticipated release of his story and the prophetic message of the Maya in the Shift of the Ages film, these Messages to the World help guide us in these tumultuous times. You will be invited to embed these video messages on your site, or link to them here.
Grandfather Cirilo Perez Oxlaj’s Mayan name is Wakatel Utiw, which means “Wandering Wolf” in his native language. He is regarded as the Voice of the Jungle and the Messenger of the Maya, but we know him as Grandfather Cirilo. Grandfather Cirilo is responsible for guiding us through a prophesied evolutionary transition called the Shift of the Ages. He relays not only potent messages filled with hope and promise, but also grave warnings about the changes we must make. He tells us we are living in the time when the ancestors, as well as men and women of wisdom, return to usher in a new era of global harmony and a new phase of human evolution.
Grandfather Cirilo serves as: leader of the National Mayan Council of Eldersof Guatemala; Day Keeper of the Mayan Calendar; 13th generation Quiche Mayan Spiritual Leader; a founder and Grand Elder of the Continental Council of Elders & Spiritual Guides of the Americas; Extraordinary Ambassador in the Guatemalan government representing the indigenous pueblos; and an international lecturer on Mayan culture.
His mathematical provenance extends to the traditional and elegant mathematics of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, which culminates in the Mayan year “Zero,” or approximately 2012 in the Gregorian calendar. Grandfather Cirilo holds the great honor of keeping sacred the teachings, visions, ceremonies and prophecies of the Maya people.
A cogent messenger, Grandfather Cirilo warns us that we have arrived at a critical crossroads. The message is simple and clear: we must change the way we live NOW. Since we have left the Maya “BelejebBalamTiku,” or “Period of Darkness; Period of the Nine Hells,” Grandfather’s mission includes alerting the world through story and prophecies. In 2005 Grandfather Cirilo asked producer and filmmaker Steve Copeland to document the sacred saga of the Maya and the ancient prophecies now being fulfilled.
