Muluk – Moon

The Maya word today in the Kaqchikel language is Toj.

These people love being near water—lakes, rivers, or the sea. They are creative, strong, and full of ideas. They fight for what they believe in, whether it’s for family, friends or animals.

People born on the day Muluk make great warriors, doctors and nurses.

The Moon in the Maya World

The moon was extremely important to the Maya and when they calculated the date they would also calculate the phase of the moon at that time and the length of the lunar month.

The moon was associated with the rabbit in the Maya world. On the surface of a full moon, the rabbit is visible in profile and various myths accounted for its presence.

The goddess of the moon was a young and beautiful woman, and she is often seen sitting on the crescent of the moon, bearing a rabbit in her arms.
