"Mother, show me how to love beyond my human fear, teach me all the joys of life behind the veil of tears. Let me find the pleasure of a lover's gentle hands, let me know the wisdom of respect without demands. Oh, Keeper of Forgiveness, teach me how to see beyond the petty judgments, supporting human dignity. I will learn your Medicine Of Mother, lover, friend, teaching others how to love and broken hearts to mend." LOVES ALL THINGS is the Clan Mother of the Seventh Moon Cyc

Caban, or No’j in K’iche’ Maya, represents intelligence, ideas, wisdom, knowledge, and memory. It signifies dignity and honor, patience, prudence, and sublime, unconditional love; and also represents education, counseling, advising, meeting, and related activities. The nagual of intelligence, Caban invigorates the intellect and enriches the eternal quest for enlightenment. Just as time turns choice grapes into fine wine, so Caban turns knowledge and experience into wisdom. It

Action When time was just beginning and the "Tribe of Man" was small, Antelope saw that the two-leggeds were naked, hungry, and in danger of extinction. The Ancestors would soon vanish from Mother Earth if action were not taken. Antelope took action and came into the camp, calling all the two-leggeds together for Council. "Great Mystery sent me to teach you a lesson. The lesson is to do. You have no need to be fearful if you know what to do and then you do it," Antelope sai

The symbol of the sacred Ceiba tree, Kan, or K’at in K’iche’ Maya, represents the magic of germination and growth, in the form of new offspring, new crops, and the expansion of future generations. At times called Seed, Kan is considered by some Maya to control the sexual force in the body, and as such, it embodies the power of gender. Within its vast body of meaning, it also signifies the Net, in all of the diversity of senses of the word: a fisherman’s net, a woven net for f

Integration The powerful gift of Alligator medicine is to fully appreciate and integrate all that life offers. Gator shows us the value of thoroughly digesting both the pleasures and pains of life. In many ways, Alligator's medicine is reflected in its behavior. When a Gator rolls under water with its prey, its message is to roll with the punches when being attacked by life's circumstances. Carefully storing its prey under a log until the meat is tender teaches us about pati

"Tell me a story, sweet Mother, of the Ancestors and their days, of how they walked with beauty, learning the Medicine Ways. As you relate the stories, I am allowed to see the importance of every lesson and how it applies to me. Through another's example I share the laughter and the tears. Through another's experience I learn how love can conquer fear. Together we can journey through those other times, reclaiming all the wisdom of the legacies left behind." STORYTELLER is th

Not so long ago I had a vision. A vision of a community supported by its leader. To understand what I saw you first have to understand how I saw the world around me. Now this is not meant to be a political post by any means I am neither Democrat nor Republican I am somewhere in between. So what did I see around me? I saw the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer. I saw those in power over the people use their power to serve their own agendas. I saw those in power a

Master of all the Arts, Chuen, or B’atz’ in K’iche’ Maya, is the weaver of the thread of life and the cords of time. For the Maya, history is woven with the thread of time just as clothing is sewn from the fibers of plants. Chuen symbolizes evolution, movement, motion, and development; initiation, affirmation, and favorable divination readings; intelligence and wisdom; and especially marriage and pregnancy - the tz’ite representing the Mayan priests, the ajq’ijab’, contains 2

Have you ever noticed that when tragedy strikes it seems like it came out of nowhere? People are always surprised and state that they didn't see it coming, that there were no warning signs. The divine truth of it is always a very different story. As I have stated previously manifesting anything into the physical world has to go through 4 stages or the 4 directions: East, West, North and South. Everything begins in the East...everything. Sometimes the signs are given through t

We are currently in a Hun (One) year. That means we have just completed a 13 year cycle. That cycle began in 2012. You know the year everyone thought that the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world. As we know, it didn't because we're all still here, however, I won't say nothing has changed and that change is yet to be fully understood. In 2012 we completed a cycle that spanned roughly 5,125 years. In deed that's a long time. But that also means that we are now in a t

The Trecena Of Truth & Healing Etznab, or Tijax in K’iche’ Maya, is the day sign of Obsidian, an extremely sharp natural glass formed by volcanic activity that among the Maya is most prized by diviners and warriors. Like obsidian that embodies the forces of nature that forged it, Etznab symbolizes the power of thunder and lightning. Like obsidian, Etznab is sharp yet fragile, difficult to polish and manipulate, and cuts to the core of things with all of the force of integrity

Teacher Wolf is the pathfinder, the forerunner of new ideas who returns to the clan to teach and share medicine. Wolf takes one mate for life and is loyal like Dog. If you were to keep company with Wolves, you would find an enormous sense of family within the pack, as well as a strong individualistic urge. These qualities make Wolf very much like the human race. As humans we also have an ability to be part of society and yet still embody our individual dreams and ideas. In

"Echoes of the Ancestors ride The Winds of Change, voices of the Creatures calling out my name. Singing spirits on the breeze, the crashing of waves to shore, the pounding of Earth Mother's heart teach me what to listen for. In stillness, before dusk and dawn, hidden messages are set free. Like the chants of my people, their rhythms speak to me. My ears can hear this music, and my heart can understand. Clan Mother of Tiyoweh, I am yours to command. I listen for your whispers

I've learned I can say things all I want however that doesn't mean anyone is going to listen. The things I say have been said by others before me for a millennia without anyone listening, why should anything change now? Hint... The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. So let's talk Father's Love and free will. I feel like the biggest hurdle to people listening to what has been said for a millennia is that they b

Associated with the mystical Feathered Serpent, Kukulkan or Quetzalcoatl as the Aztecs called this deity, Chicchan, or Kan in K’iche’ Maya, is one of the most powerful day signs in the Tzolk’in. The Regent of the Sky and the Ruler of Time, Chicchan symbolizes the transformation of time, transcendence, peace, spiritual development and human evolution, and represents those predestined for spiritual vocations. Yet it is also the lord of all material things and represents the con

Transmutation Serpent medicine people are very rare. Their initiation involves experiencing and living through multiple snake bites, which allows them to transmute all poisons, be they mental, physical, spiritual, or emotional. The power of Serpent medicine is the power of creation, for it embodies sexuality, psychic energy, alchemy, reproduction, and ascension (or immortality). The transmutation of the life-death-rebirth cycle is exemplified by the shedding of Serpent's ski

Eb, or E’ in K’iche’ Maya, represents the Road, the Saq B’e or sacred path that we all travel on our quest for self-fulfillment and realization. This is the path of destiny, the road we travel to develop, discover, and evolve our personal history and future imprinting; it is also the activity and movement of travel, moving us toward our horizon, our goals and aims in life. It is the connection between people, places, dimensions, and worlds. In that vein, Eb represents the sta

Secrets It is said that if you want to find out a secret, ask Lynx medicine. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get the silent Lynx to speak. To be confronted by the powerful medicine of Lynx signifies that you do not know something about yourself or others. Lynx is the keeper of the secrets of lost magical systems and occult knowledge. Lynx has the ability to move through time and space, and to go into the Great Silence for unraveling any mystery. Lynx is not the guardian

"Mother, teach me how to see the shining lights of stars. The faces of the Ancestors, in worlds both near and far. Show me how to welcome the visions appearing to me, seeing the truth in detail, unraveling each mystery. Walk me through the Dreamtime of altered time and space, that I may share those visions with every creed and race. Doorkeeper of all dimensions, I seek your Medicine ways of how to earth my visions, seeing truth, inside me, today." LOOKS FAR WOMAN is the Clan

The Divine Feminine. That is the crowning energy that Cauac, or Kawoq in K’iche’ Maya, carries. Given its special connection with women and feminine energy, Cauac represents women in all their roles and walks of life, especially as mothers, wives, sisters, midwives, and healers. This is a powerful sign that channels massive volumes of energy and force: it symbolizes spiritual connection, contact and communication; blood lightning signals and messages; difficulty, curses, and
