THE MAYAN CALENDAR PORTAL BLOGS

Welcome to the Mayan Calendar Portal Blogs.  This is a series of regular and guest blogs by select members of the MCP community.  Our intention is to bring together a number of diverse voices who can each offer a unique perspective, and hopefully a slightly different angle each time, on the role that the Sacred Mayan Calendar plays in today's global society.

Explore the list of blogs and bloggers below, and post your thoughts and comments!  You can also email us if you feel a particular topic or issue is missing from the discussions.  We hope you enjoy the postings and look forward to reading your comments.
