Mayan (Tzolk'in) · Tzolk'in (Maya 260-day calendar) day-sign
Etz'nab'
Etz'nab' is the flint nawal linked to clarity, truth, and hard edges in Mayan lore. Summaries read flint as mirror and blade: truth that reflects and cuts illusion. Flint day-signs are often described as sharp, fair, and disciplined in folk lists. Renewal sometimes needs honest pain in stories. Etz'nab' days favor decisions over endless delay.
Flint and obsidian tools mattered in daily Mesoamerican life, so the metaphor stays tied to craft and cutting clean. This nawal is precision, not cruelty. Pair it with your birth tone on the sacred calendar. Naming truth with mercy clears fog in teaching metaphors and day-sign summaries. This page is cultural learning, not legal or moral advice.
Example: one real birth date
The Tzolk'in (Maya 260-day calendar) day-sign for May 9, 1997 is 3 Etz'nab' (Flint).
Etz'nab' is that day-sign. It changes every day. It does not follow a sun-sign month.
