Toj

Toj symbolizes the Sun and the sacred fire’s essence—purity, balance, and transformative power. It embodies the law of causality, illustrating that every action has a cause and consequence. As a force of karmic balance, Toj highlights payment, reciprocity, and debt-clearing to ensure personal well-being and collective harmony.

Toj is warmth, sensitivity and magnetism. Its anatomical link to the human ear signifies listening, helping, understanding, as well as prayers heard and answered. It invites gratitude for each day, and all of life’s blessings, reminding us that balance is sustained through mindful exchange and fulfillment is achieved through spiritual nourishment.

On Toj days, material and verbal offerings are made to Ajaw (God) in gratitude for personal, familial, and communal well-being, honoring life’s blessings and challenges, and to ask for healing and protection.
