		She became alarmed at the rapid rate of deterioration of the Tzutujil culture, and with it the danger of extinction of the backstrap loom weaving tradition.

		In Tzutujil, you can only call someone a mother by saying whose mother she is, whom she belongs to.

	The Festive Feast of the Tzutujil Maya
		Some women prefer the brilliant roosters, tied by the legs with twine leashes, free to be grasped by the chest and lifted by a deft hand, skilled at determining the meatiness of a chicken in such fashion.
		As with many of the traditions of the Tzutujil Maya, this festive food goes back long before the Spanish conquest and the domestic fowl that is used today.
		Cooked over an open fire in huge clay pots, this delicious chicken with it’s delicately flavored tomato-mint sauce, is an example of a gourmet Tzutujil Maya food served to groups of interested travelers at the home of Candis Krummel, noted designer and founder of the Cojolya Association of Maya Women Weavers.

		My daughters were screaming,"Are you all right, Daddy?" Tzutujil women were trying their best to hide their laughter at the lanky gringo trying to crawl out of an embarrassing situation.
		So even though the early believers were ostracized and persecuted, their positive testimony became the fuel that fed a genuine people movement among the villages around the lake.
		I came to understand that one of the core values in the Mayan Culture is the pride in local traditions and a built-in resistance to anything foreign.

		It has to do with the two core principles of Mayan Time Philosophy, their relationship to Jaloj Kexoj (a dual-principle paradigm of the modern Tzutujil Maya) and the square-root principles of Egyptian sacred geometry.
		In my own visionary work with the Sacred Calendar, I concluded that the core of its mathematical and philosophical properties could be reduced to an interplay of two principles: PHI (that is, the Golden Mean) and "64" (the principle of binary or exponential duplication).
		Thus: PHI-64, the "dual-principle core paradigm." It was somewhat of a shock when I met Martín Prechtel in 1993 and read his academic study which described the dual-principle paradigm of the modern Tzutujil Indians of Guatemala called "Jaloj Kexoj." The parallel of meaning was astounding.
