Grandfather Mazatzin Aztekayolokalli


<< Go Back to Presenter Menu <<
Picture
Rootwire is HONORED to have Grandfather Mazatzin returning again this year to share his extensive knowledge and Spirit with us!

Mazatzin Casas Acosta, of Kickapoo and Chichimeca First Nations descent, devotes his life’s work to understanding and sharing the teachings of his culture, and in particular the Aztek Cosmology. He is a founding Board Member of the new International First Nations Academy; a member of the Frente Nacional Mexicano Pro Derechos Humanos; and a Peace Ambassador for the United Nations. For over 23 years he’s learned from many teachers from Mexico who had intensively studied the pre and post-Hispanic ‘codices’ and records as well as modern investigators. He also performed extensive independent research concerning the Olmek-Toltek-Maya-Zapotek-Mixtek-Aztek calendar system, along with 7 years of Astronomical Zenith confirmation of their relationship.

He is presently in collaboration with the Institute of Astronomy at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico, UNAM, on the Aztek Calendar. His contributions to the application and use of the units of time have been reviewed by many other recognized scholars and traditional authorities such as the Supreme Nahuatl Counsel, who corroborate the importance of his work. He is recognized as a Tonalpouki… keeper and interpreter of the calendar count.

He met and meets with Elders, Teachers and calendar keepers from Onondaga (Canada) to Machu Picchu (Peru); from the Rain Forest of Brazil to the Valley of Anauak, Mexiko Tenochtitlan (aka Mexico City), to Los Angeles, California. The Aztekayolokalli team’s research helped to re-ignite the ceremonial fires of the 2nd Zenith passage of the Sun through sacred observatories in the past seven years. Every summer from July 25 to July 29 Mazatzin has led a group to the pyramid observatories in Teotiuakan, Mexiko Tenochtitlan, Malinalko, Tepoztlan and Xochikalko; confirming that the Aztek Calendar Day symbols correspond on Zenith observations dates to archaeological sites and to the ancient codices (Borgia).

His Sons, Abel Kozkakuautli and Ernesto Xe Yei Koatl, joined him to create a hands-on real-time reference for daily use. The result was an amazing Astronomical Calendrical Map and Cosmic Clock they named the AMCS, the Ancient Mexika Chronological System: A Human Experience towards Personal Transcendence with Global Consequences…which is now recognized as the Calendar for 2012 and beyond. Tlazokamati…gracias

2 Workshops:  Introduction to the Ancient Mexika Chronological System Parts 1 & 2 
In these workshops we will come together to facilitate your learning of how to read and use the ancient calendar systems and applying them to everyday life to enhance the potential and capabilities in each piece of time. Drawing from what has been proven by modern science to be the most precise calendar ever developed, we will be able to appreciate its relevance and significance today.

While these two workshops will complement one another, you do not have to come to BOTH in order to learn and appreciate the calendar.

Grandfather Mazatzin will also be available for conversation and further learning most of each day in the Ceremonial Center! Come visit, share and expand!
