This painting was made in behalf of the little turtle that have been born in the caribbean cost, please keep them out of predators including humans, preserve the enviroment. a brief intro to Mayan cosmology for those not familiar with it. Turtle "ak" is, for the Mayans, a living symbol of the interconnected universe. They believed we live in a dimension called the Fourth Creation. The Mayans lived by the stars above, which were directly linked to Creation. Mayan cosmology is an intricate wisdom In early August, turtle’s constellation (Orion) moves into its zenith. On August 14,th Orion attains its optimum level of potency. Simultaneously, beginning August first, sea turtles are starting to hatch from eggs buried in the sands. The stars and moon are in conjunction and in accord with the Great Cycles, they know intuitively its time to emerge into the upper world. As the elders taught; all is connected. What occurs above, in the heavens, is also unfolding here, in the earthly dimension
