Sacred Mayan eCards

The ancient Maya were a deeply spiritual people, aligning their individual and community lives with those of the energies of the deities they worshipped as well as the natural and celestial worlds. The living Maya today carry on this strong cultural and spiritual tradition of their ancestors.

Our fast-paced modern society couldn't be further removed from the world of the Maya, but they care just as deeply about the important themes and milestones of their lives as we do. Birth, love and marriage, success and good health are still deeply cherished and marked by special rites and customs.

Now, you can send special Mayan e-cards celebrating these sacred elements of life to your loved ones, friends and colleagues. Beautifully designed, we hope our e-cards will inspire you to share the spirit of sacred Mayan energies with the people in your life.

And if you have a ton of people to send cards to, you can send 25 e-cards for free if you become a Mayan Calendar Portal member! Just come back to this page as an MCP member and your free e-cards will automatically start registering.

The rainforest is one of the most ancient ecosystems on Earth.  Called the lungs of the world, the forests provide oxygen, nourish millions of plant, animal and insect species, and filter water systems from morning dew to tropical storms.  The ancient Maya were known as a "rainforest civilization" — and to this day, for the modern Maya, the rainforest is a sacred place, the lifeblood of their civilization and the living embodiment of many aspects of their spirituality.
