The cat, well known for having 9-lives, could symbolize the Mayans MC’s resilience, moving into the second half of the season.Īncient Mayans respected the largest and powerful jungle cat, the jaguar, sometimes representing ferocity and confrontation of enemies. Very simple, “Gato” means cat in Spanish and “Mis” is the Q’eqchi Mayan word for cat. However, the symbolism of the opossum may refer to the adaptation of a particular strategy among the Santo Padre charter as the Mayans makes alternate plans to handle the Galindo cartel that will result in fewer casualties on their end. However, something is still missing- a direct connection to the Maya. If this title followed the previous pattern, it may have read “Zarigüeya/Uch”.
Why does the second-word shift to English for “opossum”? Your guess is good as ours. 5. Uch/Opossum Directed by Sebastián “Batan” Silva In episode 4, we may be able to expect the bat to appear as a symbolic figure as the Santo Padre charter flies out of the frying pan for a fleeting moment into a new partnership that will change the game. The bat is thought to have strong ties to Xibalba, the underworld, and is a powerful force against enemies. Ancient Mayans revered a God called Camazotz meaning “death bat” in the Quiché Maya language. The bat holds many meanings including rebirth, death and thought to represent both good and evil. The word “Zotz” also being the Q’eqchi’ Mayan word for bat. In Spanish, “Murciélago” means bat and “Zotz” is a month in the Haab calendar represented by a hieroglyph of the leaf-nosed bat. Once again, the Maya calendar title theme is present here. Synopsis: “A new threat in Santo Padre presents the Mayans new obstacles and opportunities.” 4. Murciélago/Zotz Directed by Hanelle M. We can also expect the Santo Padre charter to make wise decisions that will change the story arc for the remainder of season 1. With this episode synopsis, we can almost predict the Galindo cartel to amplify their gritty nature. The Yucatec Maya translation of “Muwan” means “the moan bird”, and thought to represent death. Often associated with darkness, wisdom, and pursuit of truth. “Buho” in Spanish, meaning owl, with “Muwan” being a month in the Haab calendar attributed by an owl hieroglyph. alliances are tested the Galindo family adopts unconventional methods.”Įpisode 3’s title follows the same pattern as episode 1.
Búho/Muwan Directed by Guy Ferlandįirst and second in command. This combined with the episode synopsis could make for an action-packed episode with great change and deadly consequences for the Santo Padre Charter. “Tzec”, can also mean the end of something.Ī scorpion, depending on the region and culture, symbolizes change and impending danger. Rice, one meaning for the word Sek of this month is thought to be “skull”. Turning to the Yucatec and Kiche Maya spellings, “Tzec” spelled with a “T” (sometimes spelled Sek) does indeed correspond to the 5 th month of the Haab calendar.Īccording to Maya Calendar Origins: Monuments, Mythistory, and the Materialization of Time by Prudence M. The spelling of the word “Dzec” with the letter “D” turns up little in research results as well, aside from translations that came from questionable astrology and horoscope websites, which do claim that “Dzec” means scorpion. “Escorpión” in Spanish means scorpion. When researched, there is little to no correlation of the scorpion to either calendar. Synopsis: “The Mayans seek answers from a local crew as the Galindo worlds north and south of the border collide.”Įpisode 2’s title breaks the calendar-themed cycle.
2. Escorpión/Dzec Directed by Norberto Barba The premiere episode Perro/Oc is set to have a symbolic stray dog appear occasionally as EZ navigates through this episode. The dog, representing loyalty and new beginnings, perfectly suits the premiere episode as we follow EZ on his path as a prospect in the Santo Padre charter. Translated from Spanish into English, “Perro” means Dog and “Oc” in Yucatec Maya is one of the 20-day names of the Tzolkin calendar system, Oc also being represented by a glyph thought to be the head of a dog by anthropologists.
