Hunab Ku Galactic Butterfly earrings

These beautiful brass Hunab Ku Galactic Butterfly earrings are 2.5cm wide and have brass earring hooks. The Galactic Butterfly, also known as the Hunab Ku is a Mayan symbol said to represent all consciousness that ever existed in this galaxy. It represents the divine consciousness that birthed all life and the manifested or physical nature of the Galaxy that was created from a whirling disk of matter into stars, planets, and solar systems. The Maya believed time flows in a circle, with a beginning and an end to things but with a renewal at the end of the time cycle. This is the concept the Mayan Calendar is based on and they believed time originates from the Hunab Ku and is controlled by it. The Mayan time keeping methods are extremely accurate as seen with the Pyramid of Kukulcan at Chichen-Itza, which is essentially a superb and highly accurate time keeping devise that marks the yearly Precession of the Equinoxes as the Earth spins on its axis orbiting the Sun.The ancient Maya astronomers accurately predicted the Great Celestial Conjunction at the end of the present Long Count cycle on December 21, 2012 when they believed humanity will pass a point of great transformation. This transformation can be represented as a butterfly's impressive process of metamorphosis as it emerges from the chrysalis.

Wearing a Galactic Butterfly symbol represents a desire to connect actively with the consciousness of our galaxy and with the grace and elegance of a butterfly, trust and accept the changes that come and emerge from those transitions as brilliantly as the butterfly.
