The year 2012 marks the end of the Mayan calendar - the date that indicates the beginning of the Prophecy of the Sun and denotes the dramatic transition from one major phase of our world into another. Many read this as the date of the apocalypse. This book helps clarify just what the 2012 date means to us and how we can all best prepare ourselves. At the heart of The Book of Destiny is the sacred Mayan calendar, an extraordinary tool recognised today for its unique ability to predict events. According to the Mayan elders, at the moment of birth every human being is given a destiny. This book allows the reader to discover this destiny, along with one's special Mayan symbol and the protection spirits that accompany them through life.
