The World Will Not End

According to the Mayan calendar, today, December 21, 2012 is to be the end of the world.  The Mayan calendar is cyclical and one major cycle that started in 3113 B.C. will end today.  There will be a sudden reversal in the earth's magnetic field which will cause the the sun to no longer send its life forces this way, and the result will be the final last age of man.

This morning people in our community of the Raquet Club gathered before dawn to acknowledge the last day of this cycle of the Mayan Calendar.

The couple above are our next door neighbours, with their offering of nuts to represent the earth.

At the critical points of North, East, South and West we paid homage to the important elements of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water.

Mexicans from the nearby village represented Mayans and performed the ritual dances and ceremony.  

With the rising of the sun a new era was welcomed.
