AHAU: The Serious Sun of Planting the Evolutionary Crops of Happiness, Health and Love; Returning Home to the Heart
by Minisa Crumbo Halsey

Beloveds,

Evening on the River

The sowing of the selected and random seeds of Spring is intimately tied to the happiness cycle of sowing and reaping. Now, more than ever it is of paramount  importance that we allow ourselves to travel the paths of true appreciation, love and happiness.

Numbering among the myriad planting rows and paths we would continue seeking Ways by which to remember ‘being breathed’, for the unseen Ways of the Creator travel upon these energetic and physical, smoke like, pathways, linking all things to each other and most importantly, providing interactive connection to the vast Creative mind, heart, body and Spirit.

These are the paths we must now discover and traverse for the wisdom and knowledge necessary to continue living ‘in a good way. Distraction from the core intentions of this time can not longer be permitted to steal attention and energy from the more important endeavors of returning home to healthy interactive connection with the Creator. There is no more time for entertaining the erroneous, heartbreaking and damaging perceptions of separation with the Creator. This will not hold. Continue Reading

For the Trecena of Sun/AHAU …

For the Trecena of Sun/AHAU …
 
The rain has stopped ... it’s still and the night sky is beautiful.

There was a fire ceremony today and four new white candles were lit to symbolically light and welcome the WAY for the illumination and inspiration of moving spring.

But, Illumination and inspiration appeared to be illusive ... I’ve had my ear to the ground and the winds, however truly inspired flow still seems remain heavily on the outflow. While much of this outflow can be and is, identified as illumination it seems to point back to very much of an older and more personal nature. These thoughts would open onto a few words for us to move upon mindfully together as we enter into this new trecena. Continue Reading

Ceremony | Jaguar Spirit

Bozho jayek,

 

I would like to introduce my column, Ceremony, on the Jaguar Spirit, Mayan Calendar site.

 

I find the ancient Mayan Calendar system to complement the Medicine Wheel Teachings in my book SPIRIT TALK, each, one of the worlds great 'Medicine' systems and each anchored deeply within the heartland of the Americas and therefore deep within our bone, fiber, blood and nerve.

 

I hope you enjoy Ceremony and visit me on Jaguar Spirit, explore the site and on my website for current arts events, schedules, articles and Spirit Driven News to be found here, upon and within.

Bama mine,

Therefore, it is always about remembering… for the old ones say, “It is not whether you will do ‘it’ but whether you will remember it”, and, at the core of our remembering lives our sacred nature and the sacredness of all creation.” ~Minisa

The Spring Circle of Life

The Spring Circle of Life

Bozho, Breathers of Integrity,

It is a 9 IK day … Crafting a Spiritual Press Release … and Here, today and indeed during all days of this season, we find ourselves within a Spring Circle of Life ... a time when certain spirit beings of growth return to answer our song and call of partnership which is voiced and carried by our sacred breath.

Call and response ceremonies, together with intention, tradition and structures of disciplined observation and repetition remain core avenues of mind, heart, body and spirit communication.

Deep beneath the late winter covers of the Mother Earth can be heard the faint visceral stirrings of breath, heartbeat and blood … life stirring within the dens of the young bear moon … green onion shoots emerging straight and strong bringing blood medicine … and maple tree blood rising to help us remember the sweetnesses of life.
