THE BLUE FEATHER
called daylords. I am looking at the Tzolkin Chart #2, and you can
see that fifty-seven is in the third Winal column. Then look on
the Chart of The Birds, and you will find something that flies
associated with your trecena day. That’s the thirteen-day count.
Mine is a hawk, what’s yours?”
“Mine is the quail,” said Bardala.

“Each day, or kin, in their thirteen-kin count is considered to
be a step in a process of growth. It is symbolized by a bird. As
the thirteen kins progress, these birds symbolize an evolution
from those that are small, such as a Hummingbird, to those that
are more spectacular, like the Quetzal, or the colorful Parrot,”
Tital said.
“All that information is amazing. How do we know about it?”
