4 directions of wind in token of new start 

This compass has correctly been orientated in accordance with the 4 directions of the wind. However this hasn’t been done for fun. The 4 directions symbolize a new start. In this respect the 4 directions have a double meaning, as it’s the start of a cycle of 4 Tzolkin-cycles (4 x 260 days) until the annular eclipse on the date border of the 20th – 21st May 2012. The outer ring of the compass also symbolizes this annular eclipse. The 12 dots also refer to this year, while the numerological value of 20/5/2012 also equals 12. Further: 12 x 12 x 24 / 10 = 345.6 ≈ 346, which equals the duration of the Greatest eclipse (346.3 seconds). See eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov The period of 4 Tzolkincycles also equals 11.83 ≈ 12 times the orbital period of Mercury around the sun. When these 12 cycles have been completed, 12 days after the 20th to 21st May 2012 on the 1st – 2nd June 2012, the transition to new age will take place (see www.33mm.eu/en/end_of_time ) and that’s without any doubt the most significant meaning of these 12 dots! This is also the deeper layer of the meaning of this compass with its 4 directions: it refers to the erection of the new world-tree, which is symbolized by the 4 directions of wind.
