Batz is the master of arts and the link of time from the past to the future, he is the beginning of the story that will end in Tzi.
Batz could be very lucky and get the Inspiration but needs to acknowledge his opposite principle and overcome it, which is the quest of each one of us.

As Tzi'kin, the eagle, Batz is living in the trees and therefore can get the Gift of Inspiration, the spiritual vision. This detachment of life gives the ability to create all kind of arts.

Batz is the lucky day. The luck given to the beginner to motivate him to continue along this path. The boost that creates the way of destiny. Batz gets the luck to help others.

Batz is the laughing that gives all their relative importance to the events that occur.

The New Year of the Mayan Tzolkin Calendar is celebrated on the day 8 Batz!
