Introduction
This series of sacred numerology posts is from all the cultures used sacred medicines mainly of mexico and the amazonia rainforest. The sacred numerology of ancestral cultures is not easy to explain outside the force of sacred medicine, this type of numerology is transmitted in the circles of sacred medicine when the ancestors and astral beings manifest and express the deep relationship of interconnection between the different planes of existence, however, here I share part of the knowledge.
Mexico
An Ancestral Legacy of Connection and Harmony
In the seemingly unending territories of Mexico, the wisdom of the ancestors is to be found, which has been handed down from generation to generation, not only creating the society's daily life but also intertwining it with the stars and the sacred. Among the various indications of this wisdom, numerology has its place, representing a kind of symbolic language that far transcends mere enumeration and is a pathway that leads from the material to the divine.
The indigenous numerology in Mexico is not just a tool for measuring but a living being with its deep significance. Each of the measures carries a deep spiritual meaning in that they represent the same spiritual concepts, natural cycles, and the cosmic forces that have been maintaining the people for hundreds of years. I would like to extend my welcome to you for this blog by which I give you the chance to see the richness and depth of numerology in Mexico's indigenous cultures, which adds us a treasure house of knowledge on life, nature, and the universe.

In their sacred Tzolk'in calendar, Hun is the first day of a 260-day cycle, representing the moment when time and space begin to take shape. For the Maya, Hun is the first ray of light emerging from chaos, the first breath of life animating all beings. This number is seen as the origin of the energy that drives natural and cosmic cycles.
