Hunab Ku - AKA "Mayan Galactic Butterfly" T-Shirt

The Hunab Ku is believed to be an ancient Aztec symbol which was later adopted by the Mayans - a center feature in their sacred wheels of time or calendar systems. The symbol is a vital cornerstone into understanding the cycles of life (and also the core feature to understanding Mayan myths). The Hunab Ku symbol translates to mean: "One Giver of Movement and Measure" or "The One Source of Energy." Hunab Ku Mayan Symbol Representations- The movement of life energy The cycle of life on a grander scale The order and balance of the cosmos The god force or infinite power available in all life According to Mayan scholar Jose Arguelles, the Hunab Ku is the principle of life beyond the cosmos. He says "It may be described as possessing a simultaneous spin and counter-spin motion radiating outward from a center-point of indescribable energy that pulses at a specific rate. That pulse is the principle of life and all-pervading consciousness imminent in all phenomenon." Visually, we can see this symbol depicts the ancient tenet of balance in all things. It's even reminiscent of the classic yin yang symbol found in Asian symbology. We see an equal balance of light and dark in the Hunab ku tattoo. This could symbolize harmony and becoming balanced - or achieving integration.
