All the original people of the world have a cultural and spiritual root that distinguishes them in their indication of faith in the search of a superior being. Within this context the Mayan people have their own way to express the spiritual; when T’zacol Bitol invokes the spiritual root in Ixpiakok, the Ajaw.

The basis for this spirituality is contained within the book the Pop Wuj, constituting an integral element of the Mayan inheritance. The spirituality of the Mayan people of the past and that of today have differences from the changes of society, but it is also a consequence of the invasion that destroyed documents of the Mayan people. Diego de Landa, due to his lack of understanding of the Mayan priests at that time, accused them of satanic practices and wizardry.  Those that still do not understand the Mayan spirituality, continue to criticize and condemn, as Landa did it.

The spiritual aspects of the Mayan people are not the practices of a conventional or institutional religion. The spirituality of the Mayan is to share feelings, respect to our brother’s animals, plants, and the language. These aspects differ from the Christian institutionalized religions.

This spiritual consciousness also contains the elements of the day, based on the Mayan Sacred calendar. Every day contains an element that governs and orders it. Every one that is born on a date within the calendar can determine their behavior in the society and their function. This practice is handled by the Mayan priest, who interpreting the elements contained within the sacred calendar can spiritually guide newborns towards their future. The spiritual then is not separated from one within the form of life of each Mayan, but is an integral part of that one and maintains the inheritance of the town that conserves and practices its own existential spirituality.
