"More than 2000 years ago, the Mayan’s formulated a “profound galactic cosmology.” Gazing at the stars, they noticed that the sun was slowly moving over time into the heart of the galaxy. Using sophisticated sacred science calculations and uncorrupted indigenous intelligence, they devised a long-range calendar that predicted the time when the apex of solar and galactic alignment would occur: December 21, 2012. This occurrence, and the years leading up to it, marks the end of the “Fourth Age.” It is prophesied as a time of significant transformation—a time when humanity is asked to reconnect with our cosmic heart and essential wisdom.

The Maya End Times: A Spiritual Adventure (Maya Prophesies for 2012) is a remarkable spiral of a story that drops readers into a between-worlds adventure of Mayan culture and “evolutionary soul-awakening.” Author Patricia Mercier undertakes a personal quest to uncover the essence of Mayan prophesies, and not knowing what to expect, she is astounded to be entrusted with a life-size quartz crystal skull, which she is told she must carry to the “End of Time.”

Preparing for her role as keeper of the skull, she journeys through Central America, deep into the tangled realms of Sacred Science, the strands of time, and what she calls the WorldWideWeb of Light. As we travel with her on pilgrimages and sacred ceremonies, to pyramid peaks and through underground passages, Mercier peels away the layers of truth and fallacy of the Mayan prophesies: a verbal lineage of truth-keeping passed down through the generations.

Unlike most Western-based interpretations of prophecies, which typically echo doom and gloom, Mercier unveils the core truths of Mayan wisdom, which remind us that the end of one age is always the beginning of another. The Mayan prophesies are actually pointers toward the possibilities that lay before us and a wake-up call to what lives in our hearts and minds: our actions and worldviews are especially critical in these birthing times leading up to 2012, and will determine the coming age as one of crisis or breakthrough.

As a reviewer with a self-proclaimed aversion toward tales of prophesy (precisely because of their “doom-and-gloom” tone and unyielding stance), I found The Maya End Times to be a refreshing, intriguing, and illuminating adventure: a practical and profound worldview for spiritual awareness and awakening.
