Have you noticed that food prepared with love and care somehow tastes and feels better? Imagine your grandma’s favorite meal or a local, family-run restaurant’s specialty. It often feels like a hug from the inside-out. The same goes for this cacao. Your heart will relax into gentle, open presence. Your taste buds will dance with joy. And your cells will vibrate with pure potentiality.
Legacy Cacao is made in small, hand-crafted batches. Each growing season results in unique flavor variations, similar to wine vintages. The same ingredients are used each time, but you’ll notice subtle changes to the tasting notes.
As the stone-ground cacao is combined with a special variety of vanilla, a proprietary alchemy of Mayan spices and deeply grounding panela, the women medicine keepers weave unique energy properties into the batch, based on the daily Nawal from the Mayan Sacred Calendar, also known as Cholq’ij or Tzolkin.
What is the Cholq’ij?
“The Cholq'ij is composed of 20 different energies, ten that arise from the cosmos and ten that come from Mother Earth, which vibrate in 13 different manifestations, thus creating the 260 energies that form this calendar. This is a count of time in relation to the development and life of the human being, for more than simply measuring time itself, the Cholq'ij counts the energies that influence our daily life."

Studying the depth of wisdom from the Mayan Calendar is a lifelong - or multi-life long - journey. We have simplified the descriptions of these Nawales to serve as entry points and inspiration for your daily practice. If you feel called to dive in further, there are incredible books, courses, or sessions you can book with Mayan Daykeepers to read your birth chart. For our resources, we have drawn from the expanding wisdoms of Denise Barrios (@Maya.ukux), who has been lovingly honoring and rebirthing her father’s lineage of teachings through her modern, feminine lens.
