Ben Concepts

The Mayan glyph for Ben is pillars, while the Aztec glyph for Acatl is a bundle of reeds. Ben is the center pillar around which the world rotates. Ben rep-
resents renewal of abundance, achievement, and authority. As a pathfinder, it explores new places. The reed warns against hoarding information, goods, or money, thereby stopping the flow of abundance. It also represents harmful experimentation and bad science.
