Last Quarter Moon : April 6th
Vision Quest

notes:
*Feeding the Fire lunch (when preparing lunch for everyone, a small plate of food was brought to the tipi and fed to the fire - feeding the Questers thro Spriit)
*Keeping the fire going constantly. It is the warmth of the Questers. Somebody always was in the tipi, maintaing and watching the fire for the hole 2 weeks
*Also each day making and changing a design in the fire. A design made by the coals. Such as an eagle, rainbow, 4 directions cross...
*Sunrise around 7am. We were woken up after 6:30am by a subtle beat of a drum and singing/chanting by someone each morning. And from there we met outside the tipi to sing to the four directions and the Questers on the Mountain (they could hear us, they were not that far away) We were sending them love and strenght 'fuerza'
*Sunset Salut as well to the four directions with Medicine songs, rattles, and drums
*Sacared herbs and medicines (tobacco, cedar, flowers...) were always in baskets around the fire in the lodge for offerings when entering or leaving
*Tobacco was smoked in corn husks and was sacred
*Logs on fire wer set in a criss cross pattern, repersenting an arrow towards the design made of coals, to the alter, and to the center of the tipi (where the Madrina always sat)
*Grandfather 'Abuelito' Fire
*Thanks was given to each meal we ate before hand and the food was made by all
*Community work was shared amongst all
*Tamascal (sweatlodges) were run once a day
*nightly cermonies (often yet not every night were run) ranging in just talking, planning, to a traditional Guatemalan baby shower where there was large cauldron/cast iron pot where coals and a vast variety of herbs, spice, and medicines were thrown into it and stirred up to celebrate the soon to be mama and cooking up her life
*Women had to wear skirts within the tipi and cermony area, while men had to wear pants

First Quarter Moon - Tuesday 23 March

First Quarter Moon - Tuesday 23rd of March


I am being challenged daily on this journey. Challenged by other Earthlings, other viajeros (travellers). They challenge my belief system in debates. All unaware of what i am aware of. And what is that? It is knowing that we are from the stars. That we are decendents of past Mayan's who were killed before. We are all magical creatures and can do anything. Yes i have the power of manifestation. Power of thought. My hands can create anything I believe that i see part of my future life. I am manifesting Heaven on Earth. I will create a different place to live. A sancuary of like minds that are one with our Mother Earth and Father Sky. Their we will teach. Teach those who hear us and come to us. As a united family of soul brothers and sisters, as an Eco Village of self sustating suffiecency, with children and elders all at our sides, we shall grow as one. One Spirit raising consciousness thro our energies cascading over mountains, thro forests, across water. United energies spread distances and those who are ready can feel their vibrations and they will come. My dream is a reality, for reality is your imagination. For you creat your life, everything in front of you, you gave yourself. And with it, i shall have what i invision. It is not just fantasty, or perhaps it is. Yet than i am fantasy as well. These current tests of no fath, they can not bring me down. Nobody can push their reality on mine. Yet it is good to see, to hear the controdictions, the other points of view, the debates. But i know that i am here to fight spiritualy. Not thro breaking down the government, world powers. I am not here to help "my side/for the people" thro bodily form, with your hands. I am here with Spirit, to help guide those back to Spirit. To Consciousness. Once enough souls are here, we can change teh world thro prayer, manifestation, and positive light energy.

New Moon - Monday 15th March

New Moon - Monday 15th of March

Ac Tah- Mayan Descendent presents weekend conference on Mayan Beliefs and the coming of 2012!
I spent this past weekend participating in a conference talking about Mayan Prophecies. And dancing to the beat of the Earth´s Belly. Native American Drums and Dance, waking up our Spirit!

Waking up awareness and consciousness of our Mother Earth. Of her crying out in pain as we humans continue to harm her. Our Brother and Sister 4 legged still remember, are still aware. Why is it just us 2 legged, who think we are the rulers of the world can not remember? We can’t hear her crying? I cry as i see more concrete skyscrapers going up, forests of wise tree´s being torn down, and as the Earth trembles in quakes and kills millions. Why? Why cannot we wake up, listen to our hearts. Walk again one with spirit. Listen to our ancestors. Remember why we are here...

The world is about to change. We are at the end of the 4th cycle and are coming to the 5th. At every turn of cycle, the Earth quakes, speaks us to remember. Darkness will come. Darkness has come. Don’t you remember New York City over 5 years ago? Darkness. It will come again. And quakes will keep continuing as we sleep in unawareness of our Earth Mother. On the Winter Solstice of 2012 the planets will align with one another. Earth as the center point will be surrounded in the four directions by her neighbors. By Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter. The Moon and Sun will be above and below us. The intergalactic spaces are aligning. They will bring change. The Ying and Yang will shift. We have been in a Yang of Masculinity for this past cycle. We are about to shift into a balance. An equality of one gender, of one race. We are coming to a new age. We humans will decide where to take it. To let the shift pull into negativity or into positivity. We have the power within us all to do anything. If only we would all wake up! Walk with spirit, realize we are one. We have power to stop earthquakes and tsunami´s. We have the power of the world if we come together in harmony.

I am walking the Red Road

New Moon - I have arrived to a new Eco farm outside San Miguel de Allende. It’s a Beautiful single Women living in a small community of Permaculture living. There is no electricity, nor running water. They are living off the land, in the desert. Cacti surround me.

Fast forward, to the evening of the New Moon.
Again Cactus surrounds me...



Psychedelic, geometric triangles, circles, shapes, dimensions...
Light, a Teepee… A circle of brother and sisters around a fire, of RED. of LIGHT and DARK. Ying and Yang. Energies... A group of friends, who let me into their circle; which I am so thankful for, and there, in the tipi, within our mother´s womb, we drank medicine. We consumed ayahuasca in a legal Santa Daime Ceremony/Ritual. Madrina, Shaman, Medicine Women- Maria Terresa led it. There were 9 of us, gathered around a fire. We started off with one shot of Ayahuasca each. Mine was to be smaller as I wasn’t really part of the group, yet so thankful to be part of it this time. Next lead to Hale Mary´s and Fathers...Santa Daime is a Catholic Religion base/mix with our Earth Mother. This time it didn’t matter tho. I had finally been able to let go and it wasn´t important of religion. As all religions are the same, even as they differ, in the end they send the same message. As we began to sing in Portuguese about the Lord, my past judgments had vanished. I was singing about Love. Tho it helped I didn’t understand the lyrics when singing of sin. Overall i was thankful to be present and as well be around a fire, in a tipi again. Very quickly people began to feel the medicine running thro their bodies, some overtaking their physical bodies. The medicine was powerful this time. The eldest there, in his eighties i believe was the first to run from Spirit.
It continued, the two other men started to enter other space, another reality from what we believe we live in now. They had entered into their Spirit, yet were being tested and losing. They were losing control of their own Spirit and letting their own demons come in.
I was able to see the energy of the spirits. But more so, i felt them possessing my companions. You could see it, eye to eye, straight up fact, a reality whether you are taking medicine or not. These 2 men had their eyes rolled to the back of their heads and were talking to themselves. They were moving hands up and down, in conversation. They were fighting off the Dark verses Light. Negative verses Positive forces. One man was doing hand movements, which he later said he was shooting light beams out of his finger tips. He was fighting with light energy. He was fighting hard. He was cleansing his aura. Fighting his inner demons...
Yet this leads me to question - Are Spirits with us all the time?
Yes they are. Daime (ayahuasca) opens ones chakras, opens our souls, to become just Spirit. It teaches us to leave behind the body and be amongst other Spirits. And you chose whether they are good or bad ones. You can walk with your demons or be one with your 7 Spirit Guides. Thus it must be Spirits are with us all the time. We are fighting them to not control us. To not be in the Negativity of life. Are all spirits just inner demons, i wonder? Or are there bad energies, bad spirits walking earth among us? Do there exist more spirits than just our own? Are we only in touch with our own spirit guides or demons? I saw this man fighting a demon, one within himself. But the others in our circle, talked of seeing spirits. Light and Dark beings. This means when we become negative, mad, angry, sad, Spirits are able to enter us more easily and create more negative vibrations. Expanding one negative thought too many. This is why we must focus on light, on positivity. So spirits will guide us not deeper into negative vibrations, but more so into light. Into positive beings. Light Beings. To become one with Spirit all the time.
Spirits can guide us or manipulate us, we are the deciding factor on how we control our beings.

There were demons all around us, trying to possess us. One by one, circling and trying to enter into each of our bodies. I did not see the spirits. I was not there, in their space. Only laughter and happiness embodied me. I was keeping my space of enlightenment and joy. I was pure Light. Radiating Positive Energy from my Spirit. Drinking this medicine, i saw things. But more so, i felt things. I felt energy, i felt spirits, i understood all. This medicine opens us up to who we are potentially able to become. Nirvana talks about leaving the body, of becoming pure light and energy. Of becoming pure Spirit, and this is what we were for those short hours in the tipi. We were leaving behind bodies and becoming one. Many of the groups were fighting inner demons and they were fighting hard. Yet a few of us women were radiating pure light. Two men were possessed, 2 girls were being visited by spirits, laughing at them, inner demons telling them they weren’t good enough. Yet we were all Spirits, unaware of bodies, among dozens of more spirits. Visiting us, guiding us, some trying to take advantage of us. Tho I was just a body of light, my light (positive) energy cascading onto the others, my brother and sisters. They thanked me the next day. I was aware of my light, energy and hoped it was spreading out to the others as I focused on this. Focusing on keeping light all around my soul and aura. Holding the energy of the group. Sometimes i looked away, onto the others fighting, unable to not stare at those being possessed.
I couldn´t feel myself. My body. It didn’t exist. It was attached, but for an unclear reason. What was below my head was unclear. Arms, feet, stomach...what are they? Where were they? It was so difficult to focus, to understand that my feet were touching the ground, solid as a rock. Yet I wasn’t. Hovering, gliding, soaring... I was not quit grounded on Mother Earth, on Pacha Mama at all. Perhaps my body was, but it didn’t belong to me anymore. For it´s just a physical form and I wasn’t. I was disconnected from my body, forgot my face, name, who I quit was, for I was just there, in the now as Spirit. My Spirit guiding each step. I was one with all existence, for I was nothing but one particle in the air. Connected to my billions of brother and sisters. All Spirits, forgotten. For our bodies and minds control nearly all life. We have forgotten, we are unaware of how to become one and float with our Spirits. Let them guide us.

Ayahuasca is Medicine. Some may believe it’s a drug, and it is to those who believe this. To those who take it as Medicine, it cures you. Helps fight within... Giving lessons on how to walk more with your Spirit and less with your physical body. Daime teaches you how to be just Spirit. That is all you are. Yet you can learn to walk slowly with each step on your own, towards light everyday. Just being Consciousness is the first step. Are you ready to jump?

You may think I am talking of an illusion. Yet it was reality. I was in this farce. I was. And I was laughing thro out the possessions, thro out the journey on medicine. Nothing is what you think it is... Reality is what you make it!



¨All Creations are a part of Great Mystery´s whole, just as every cell in the human body has different function and yet together those cells make up a carbon combustion unit that houses a Spirit with a unique identity. All human ideas are birthed from the Spirit inside the human body, are fed to the brain, and then acted upon through the will of total being. All ideas in Creation come from the Great Mystery, are gathered by Great Spirit, and then are used to feed the rest of Creation. To limit the power of Creation in ourselves or others is a human concept. If we acknowledge the limitlessness of Great Mystery, we must acknowledge that this life-force is also a part of our makeup because we are created by that same Original Source.¨

Full Moon: Sunday 28th February

Full Moon : Sunday 28th of February
Moon in Virgo – Earth
(Moon rises as the sun sets, and sets as the sun rises)
Flower

I can remember the full moon in February a year ago. It was a cold, frosty night in California. I was in a long Elven cloak, chanting Earth Mother songs, while lying out my crystals in my Faerie garden. Blessing the crystals I work with, with the magic of the moonlight. The moonlight of the Virgo, of me, of Earth. There was a magical mist that night, just as a year later it returns. This night as well, I danced to the moonlights glow and swayed in harmony with the Earth.
Just as last month, Jupiter has brought forth an opportunity, another Tamascal. Along with two other volunteers, my friends Mathois from Germany and Naima from France, we embarked on a spiritual journey thro time…Or just to another farm, outside Erongajacuaro. At this place, they actually hold Tamascal’s twice a month. Their sweat lodge was made of cement and was a beautiful picture of the Earth’s belly. It was a small ceremony, with around 10 people. The experience was quit different from my last, and I had a very hard time not comparing it. Naima was going thro the same as well. Fortuantly Mathois had never been, and thus didn’t have our problem. The actual Tamascal didn’t heat up for some reason to its fullest, and it acted quit like a mellow sauna. Before we had sweated head to foot for 3 hours and in comparison we only heated up for about 1 ½ hours. We did do some mantras within the Earth’s Belly and a Snake, Serpente almost took me within its grasp. Yet I never fully was entranced as before. What was very different, and hard to overcome was that it was quite Catholic/Christian as well. It was interesting indeed to see the combination of Hale Mary’s and chants of our Earth Mother, but overall it wasn’t exactly my place. Tho we had an amazing day anyways! I suppose especially for my company. That evening when we returned to the farm, we had a bonfire and ceremony for the full moon. We listened to music all night and danced to the beams of the moonlight. Connecting as one with the Earth. Watching clouds pass by in creatures of dragons, boats, and creatures of the old world. Sinking within, becoming one body, the Earth and I, we are all connected. The Moon dance and sang in peace and beauty. Words are nothing, nothing to what was. To the moment of the night. To the stars lite above as I slept by the campfire. The moon is within all of us. Within every women. We come from the moon, I am the moon. I am moonlight. The balance of the night of this Earth.

La tierra es nuestra madre, Debemos cuidar la.
La tierra es nuestra madre, Debemos amar la.

Nace la vida, en esta tierra sagrada
Nace la vida, en esta tierra sagrada

El fuego es nuestra hermano, Debemos cuidar lo
El fuego es nuestra hermano, Debemos respecter lo

Nace la vida, en esta tierra sagrada
Nace la vida, en esta tierra sagrada

El aire es nuestra hermano, Debemos cuidar lo
El aire es nuestra hermano, Debemos respecter lo
Nace la vida, en esta tierra sagrada
Nace la vida, en esta tierra sagrada

La agua es nuestra hermana, Debemos cuidar la
La agua es nuestra hermana, Debemos amar la

Sprout

We are the creators of our own lives. We write our own scripts, to our own movies. We have the ability to change whatever in our lives, whenever we want to. Our hands are magical. Our bodies are empowered. We are all witches and wizards. Brujas… So wake up! Realize you are the creator of your own happiness. When a situation sucks, change your attitude. Realize you create that feeling, that energy. We are powerful beings, only now re-realizing that we can do anything!
When it Storms, sing out to the Lighting
When the Sun shines, soak up His energy
When the Moon rises, dance to Her harmony
When the Winds and Air blow, fly away
When Snow falls, become children again
And when the Rain pours, run fast and fast and faster into her water depths of non existence.

It started pouring rain again. You know it’s not the rainy season here. Winter is not when it rains. Summer it rains. Not winter. Mother Earth why is it raining? Listen! She is crying, tears of neglect nice and beating. We are hurting her, her belly. We live in her belly and are tearing at it. We have to wake up! And fight as Earth, Light, and Rainbow Warriors.
With the Rain, I went out and danced. Danced, Danced, and Danced.
And with Mercury in the sky, I decided to leave the next day.


“One thing we know for sure.
The Earth was not made for man,
Man was made for Earth.”

¨How can we buy or sell the Earth? We do not weave the web of life. We are but a strand in the web of life. What we do to the Web we do to ourselves. All things are connected. Every part of this Earth is scared to my people.¨

New Moon: Saturday 13th February

New Moon: Saturday 13th of February
Lunar Imbolc
New Moon in Aquarius – Air
(Moon rises and sets with the sun)
Seed

Destination: Maruata
I left Yelapa the 11th traveled all day and night and arrived the 12th in the wee hours to south Michocan State of Mexico. I traveled along the coast, about 10 hours to a new beach. I had had plans to go to Colima, just about 5 hours away to hike an active volcano on the new moon. Yet I found out, as its February there is snow at top. As well realized it wasn’t the best plan to do it alone. And even more so, later on found out its impossible to hike the active volcano altogether. Thus luckily I arrived in Maruata. Where I hung out on the, oh so beautiful beach and camped for another week.

The new moon was a special day. The beginning of the Chinese New Year and the first moon cycle since the Winter Solstice had finished. As well the New Moon was the Lunar Imbolc.
That day for late dinner I met a local friend and we made together fresh fish (as he was a scrubber diver and fisherman, like most locals there) with tortillas and guacamole; just the beginning of a beautiful day. Later he took me to see the turtles. He works for a turtle sanctuary there, and we went looking for some Mama turtles laying her eggs. And after over an hour walk on the beach with no luck, and as we were reaching the sanctuary again, we found her; a beautiful creature of Earth Mother. A mother as well, laying her eggs in the sand. We had arrived just in time for to watch her dig her hole, lay her eggs and leave. Then we, I actually took the eggs back to the sanctuary and buried them in a guarded area there. And while we were away, some babies had hatched (takes about 45 days) and then we realized them into the ocean. The Moon was is conjunction with Neptune that night as there was definitely a spiritual awakening going on, with cosmic love and all as one!
That night at midnight I climbed up a rocky cliff to sing to our Earth Mother and pray for the restoration of our planet. To pray and sing that we humans can wake up and realize we must take care of Her, if we want to keep living. To sing out in love. We are all one.

We have to learn to do nothing again
To just be
Be and exist
Absorb Mother Nature
Look at her magical kingdom
Waste time
Time doesn’t exist
What exists is right in front of you
Our Mother Earth
Our Father Sky
Brother Sun, Sister Moon
Hug a tree
We are a part of them, yet they are wise
When you learn to do nothing,
you will realize that you are doing everything



I feel like dancing till the end of time.
Till my feet and arms are wings and I’ll fly into Heaven.
To be one with my Spirit and all kind. Aho

Song:
We are the Change
We are the ones that we are waiting for
We are dawning
We are the rising sun

Balsamic Moon: Wednesday 10th February

Balsamic Moon – Wednesday 10th of February
Moon in Capricorn – Earth

Still floating Earth Goddesses, chanting and singing amongst the trees day to day, I resigned in Yelapa, content as one could be. Climbing trees and hooting and hollering as monkeys, our tribe grew and shrank as beautiful earthlings came and left. A wild journey thru the oh so treacherous jungleJ, we came across a beautiful waterfall. Here we bathed and swam in our Mother’s blood. Earth is sure good to us. She provides us everything we need to survive on this planet.
Thoughts of Mercury as it moved into Air at (1:06 am) swam into my soul. It was coming time to leave. Take a boat back. Mercury= Travel. And with it, the next day I left.


Song:
Fly like an Eagle
Fly so High
Circling the Universe
On wings of pure light

Hey Witchy tai tai
Witchy tai yo
Hey witchy tai tai
Witchy tai yo

We all fly our Eagles
Fly so high
Circling the Universe
On wings of pure light

Last Quarter Moon: Friday 5th of February
Moon in Scorpio – Water

Destination: Yelapa, Jalisco

I ran quickly outta Mal Paso after the storm had hit. Took it as an Earth Omen and took to a new beach, not too far away. There would be a trance party on Saturday and was hoping to dance the night away as well as sell some of my artisania’s. I ended up spending a magical time with 2 other Goddesses of the Earth (Artists selling jewelry as well) from Mexico. A small tribe of us dirty campers formed on the beach and the backyard of a house, just learning to be, sit, content with not much. Cooking from the camp fire every night and giving our bodies wisdom of relaxation, meditation, and peace. Our energies combined were sky rocketing from the tree’s and peace was within our palms.

“Crack your seed pod.
Scatter your promise.
Nurture your soil.
Protect your waters.
Stretch your branches far and wide.
Grow Grow Grow!”
Protect Mother Earth

Dissementing Moon : Tuesday 2nd February

Dissementing Moon: Tuesday 2nd of February
Moon in Libra – Air

Imbolc
Mid Winter Celebration, phrophecy, purification, initiation –
Candlemas (Christian), New Year (Tibetan, Chinese, Iroquois), Tu Bi-Shevat (Jewish).
Goddess Festivals: Brigit, Brighid, Brigid
“A pure, new light sparks as we emerge from winter’s dark sleep. The power Gate of Aquarius opens, releasing the Air element and heralding returning light. We recharge our psychic batteries as the entire universe begins to quiver and pulse its cosmic rhythm. Earthlings feel Her intensity acutely as the Wheel shifts in these troubled times.
We meet in the temple’s outer chamber. Since childhood we have trained as Priestesses of Brigit and keepers of Her eternal flame. Our lifework is committed to social justice and feeding the poor, sick and hungry; inspired by Brigit, we ask nothing in return.
Wemoon construct moonpoles with slender birch trees, parchment frames and votive candles. Dressed in white, we proceed into the dimmed temple, where our community waits. We can hear their soft humming. Our moonpoles are lit, held high they cast a beautiful glow of hope. We slowly circle the room, ending in a spiral. Everyone chants encouragement to the returning Sun; then we pledge our yearly commitments to Goddess- within and without. We devote ourselves to peace, caring for our precious earth and ending hatred among Her people. Our community is blessed.”

As we returned to Mal Paso Beach, on an overnight bus on the 2nd, a storm had struck Mexico. And when we went back to our Paradise, it still had not ended. Our beloved campsite was not in ruins, yet definitely had been damaged. An omen. I took it, and took up and left a short time later.

Lighting, thunder, Air and Fire
Elements of Earth
Cracking open Darkness, of negativity, secrets, power
Balancing the forces of all living things
Cracking the order of illusion back open to the only one in power
Mother Earth striking the land back to life.


Song:
Mother I feel you under my feet
Mother I hear your heart beat (x2)

Hey ya hey ya hey ya ho
Hey ya hey ya hey ya ho (x2)

Mother I hear you in the river’s song
Eternal waters flowing on and on (x2)

Hey ya hey ya hey ya ho
Hey ya hey ya hey ya ho

Father I see you when the eagle flies
Flight of the spirit gonna take us higher (x2)
