Oc, or Tz’i in K’iche’ Maya, represents spiritual and material law and authority, justice and legality, and those who govern, determine, and enforce the law, such as lawmakers, lawyers, judges and magistrates, the police and other related professions. It also signifies fidelity, vengeance, order, accuracy, and precision.

Generous Protector Raccoon carries the medicine of the protector of the underdog and provider for the young, infirm, and elderly. Often called "little bandit" by southern tribes, this Robin Hood of the animal kingdom teaches us about generosity and caring for others.

Raccoon medicine people have the uncanny ability to assist others wit

You can be sure that some kind of medicine is on its way - and it may or may not be to your liking. Whatever the medicine is, good or bad, you can be sure it will make you laugh, maybe even painfully. You can be sure that Coyote will teach you a lesson about yourself.

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

"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

I saw the bridge forward in this moment. Spirit said to me "Now all support you spiritually." Let me tell you a story. The date was January 31, 2022 I awoke after a vision of my mother's death. I made note of it knowing that it would become manifest after I had the vision for a third time and this was the first. On January 31, 2023 again I awoke after a vision of my mother's death this was the second and I noticed that each time I had the vision so far it was on the same day.

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

"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

"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 Protectress of the meek, weighs the truth for all to see, Divine Law, seeking balance, setting the spirit free. And here, amid the chaos of Earthly trials she stands, ready to issue justice, compassion in her hands. She answers when deception shows the destructive face of human greed and hatred, dividing every creed and race. Keeper of Father's laws, whose guiding ways we seek, may we accept the oneness of the truths we hear you speak." WEIGHS THE TRUTH is the Clan Mothe

Ben, or Aj in K’iche’ Maya, symbolizes the guiding light of family and home, and the tenderness and innocence of small children. It represents sugar cane, corn and the growth, health and abundance of offspring, seeds and crops in general; renewal and restoration; stability, strength and solidity; and resoluteness of character. It watches over professions, vocations and trades, and symbolizes the staff of authority and power. It symbolizes clairvoyance and telepathy, sacred sp

Boundaries Armadillo wears its armor on its back, its medicine a part of its body. Its boundaries of safety are a part of its total being. Armadillo can roll into a ball and never be penetrated by enemies. What a gift it is to set your boundaries so that harmful words or intentions just roll off. Your lesson is in setting up what you are willing to experience. If you do not wish to experience feeling invaded, just call on Armadillo medicine. A clue to how to proceed is to m

Nagual of the sun, Ahau, or Ajpu in K’iche’ Maya, epitomizes heroism in all of its forms - whether it’s the legendary Hero Twins of the Mayan creation myths, physical victory, in a battle or athletics competition, triumph over a mental or psychological challenge or issue, or conquering emotional struggle or pain. In line with these concepts, Ahau represents the blowgun hunter, the activity of hunting, death, and struggle; in fact, the glyph itself displays the face of the hun

It is the ability to live in the realm of Spirit, and yet remain connected and balanced within the realm of Earth. Eagle soars, and is quick to observe expansiveness within the overall pattern of life. From the heights of the clouds, Eagle is close to the heavens where the Great Spirit dwells. The feathers of Eagle are considered to be the most sacred of healing tools. They have been used f

Human beings have long been drawn to the metaphysical, a realm beyond the physical world that touches on the spiritual, the unknown, and the mysterious. This attraction is often paired with a deep-seated fear. Why do people feel both curiosity and dread when faced with concepts that defy ordinary understanding? This post explores the complex relationship between fascination and fear in our engagement with the metaphysical. An ancient stone altar shrouded in mist, evoking myst

Gentleness One day Fawn heard the Great Spirit calling to her from the top of Sacred Mountain. Fawn immediately started up the trail. She didn't know that a horrible demon guarded the way to the Great Spirit's lodge. The demon was trying to keep all beings of creation from connecting with the Great Spirit. He wanted all of the Great Spirit's creatures to feel that the Great Spirit didn't want to be disturbed. This would make the demon feel powerful, and capable of causing the

"Oh keeper of ancient knowing, whisper your wisdom to me, that I may always remember life's sacred mystery. The stories of the Grandmothers, brave deeds, great and small, the progress of the Faithful, who answer our Mother's call. The cycles and the seasons that mark our every change, the rebirth of our visions, the spirit we have reclaimed. Here truth is the victor of the war that dwells within, bringing every human heart to celebration in the end." Wisdom Keeper is the Cla
