I will try to translate some pieces and add some:
Hunab K'u is the heart of the milkyway, (*The heart on the tunic of the fool)
The maya's called it the cosmic Womb. (* = 0 = Fool)
The place of dead, transformation, regeneration and rebirth. This moment shows the end of their calendar.
Hunab K'u is the One creator of measure (20) and movement (13),
the heart of the milkyway (0) where all measure (20) and movement(13) comes from.
Hunab k'u was seen as a transmitter of radiating energy/ information.
It uses stars as lenses to transmit energy to planets.
For Earth, the sun is the "head-transmitter" for the energy of hunab Ku.
It is the lense through which Earth receive direct galactical information.
The pulses of Hunab Ku were seen as a language, or code/energy stored in the Tzolkin, an universal harmonic module which bears every possible combination of Hunab k'u.
It is the holy Calender.
Hunab K'u is the numerical link between the numbers 13 and 20.
They represent measure and movement; energy and form, spirit and sole.
Symbol of Hunab'Ku is a square in a circle.
Hunab K'u is both the one and the other,
neither the one, nor the other.
It is male and female and still neutral.
Hunab k'u is the FOOL the ZERO 0
When we put card XXI above XII (21-12) we get an Ankh.
The mirror of Venus.
The Union of the Male and the Female. Union of Dualism.....
21 december: wintersolstice : mirror of Venus (=3(Venus)=12(Neptune/Water)=21(Saturn)
We also find the mayan culture back in Waite's card XIII and XX.
XIII the 13 Tones the 13 movements of the creation itself
XX the 20 sunsigns the 20 faces of creation
XX: 20: Men have 10 fingers and 10 toes which make him capable to touch
Heaven and Earth . Mayans believed Men were the connection
between Heaven and Earth.
On Judgement we see references to the 10 fingers.
The Arms reaching out to Heaven :associations with
the 10 fingers and toes which make the union between heaven and
Earth. The Will-Wish-ready2 be born again; wholeness.
XIII: 13: Life is movement. Therefor humans have 13 head joints.
On XIII we see the joints of the horseman.
The human egg needs 20 days to reach maturation, only then there is fecundation possible.
On the moment of conception the influxing strengths of man and woman melt into One and the egg reach life.
Within 260 days new life will be born. (260= 13 x 20)
