Spiritual Wisdom

Leadership Mountain Lion can be a very difficult power totem for you to have, because it places you in a position to be a target for the problems of others. You could be blamed for things going wrong, or for always taking charge when others cannot. You could become the perfect justification for the insecurities of others. Mountain Lion medicine involves lessons on the use of power in leadership. It is the ability to lead without insisting that others follow. It is the unders

Akb’al, or Aq’ab’al in K’iche’ Maya, symbolizes both darkness and dawn, those magical times of the day when Night cedes to Day and Day gives way to Night. These are periods of transition, of grace, of potential - and polarity, which Akb’al naturally embodies. It is light and dark, heat and cold, opposing sides and opposite energies. Akb’al embodies the essence of the love between a man and a woman, of marriage, romance and all matters of physical, spiritual, and emotional lov

"Mother, show me how to love beyond my human fear, teach me all the joys of life behind the veil of tears.

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.

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

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.

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
