Kawok is the name of the Nawal (energy) we based our logo on. The literal translation of Kawok is "management and administration". She (yes, she) is the symbol of the capacity to direct and to make decisions. But she is especially important to the women of MayaMam Weavers because she is the energy of midwives and represents the day of the grandmothers. Grandmothers for us are both our biological grandmothers who guide us in our daily lives, but also our ancestral grandmothers dating back generations who still provide us with counsel in how to live well.
Kawok receives her energy from B'atz, the Nawal/energy that means thread (or monkey) and is obviously very important to us weavers as well. Each of the 20 Nawals are important to us because they help us reflect on and understand our relationship with nature and the universe, and with that understanding we are better able to live in harmony with her.
