The 13 Moon Dreamer Journey to Bring Forward
the New Dawn of Spring … and to welcome a spiritual Mayan calendar community
led by Debra Malmos, as our circles radiate in love and light for our beautiful
and sacred beingness ... AHO!
Dear Jaguar Woman and the larger Circle(s) of the Bodewadmin
Longhouse,
Bozho, my relations:
Altar construction is SO valuable a teaching to initiate and incorporate into
the personal but essentially, collective main stream intuitive consciousness
pool. Kiche Migwech ... that we begin this mailing with reading and the context
of this companion Mayan Calendar, daily inspirational teaching – Go to:
jaguarspirit.com, by Debra
Malmos, a long time ceremonial member of the sacred two legged community who
has done many things with us, here on the land at the Spirit Horse Ranch. She
now lives and works in the NW.
You, your larger circle and the beyond Dreamers, were remembered and
spoken of last evening as we gathered to conclude a 7 day quiet time, to
initiate a Journey into the 13 Moons forward and construct a personal, inner
Medicine Wheel altar by which to positively support ours and all life. The
physical plan of the gathering was shifted to include a bit of heyokah
(backwards – last comes first, first comes last) gathering. (Note: it is
valuable and recommended that we acquaint our selves with both the creative and
chaotic aspects of the cycles of Creation in order to move with increased
spiritual balance, discernment, optimism and without fear. Moving smoothly
within these cycles will also reveal that Spirit and be seen to move agreeably
in an apparently chaotic/intuitive/spontaneous manner), hence, paying attention
to every little thing. Spirit began to move attention for the gathering from a
Longhouse event to a house event, the comforts of the hearth as it were, and so
it was, very happily. We feasted FIRST, in order to make ourselves ready for
the Dreamers journey of carrying the new sun forward from the darkness to the
light of the new season, SPRING … We began with an orientation of the afternoon
Prophetic 13 Moon New Year, Dreamer Journey workshop which would follow the
feasting, preparing and strengthening of our minds, hearts, bodies and spirits
at the table.
For true feast food one couple gifted us with a full size fruit tart which had
representatives of the four sacred berries of the Bodewadmin, beginning with
the demen, the first medicine berry of spring, followed by the blackberry, the
blueberry and the raspberry. The soup was root vegetables, slow cooked with
lentils, hummus, pita chips and chocolate, toffee lace cookies. Ayurvedic tea
of cumin, coriander and fennel.
The Prophetic 13 Moon New Year Journey followed being 'fanned off', some
discussion and conversation closed the Ceremony of the 7 Day Quiet Time. The
peaceful Akbal presence was discernible and creative. The Mayan Akbal, 13 day
trecena, will be a welcome presence both to warmly 'have our backs' and to
provide an opening for the emergence of the new sun, (the new seasonal year)
into this last stretch until we meet again in two weeks
to welcome and honor the new sun, (bearer of the qualities of illumination and
inspiration, whose shadow face is anger). These understandings will make it not
only more possible for us to begin living with increased balance and harmony
with all of the above stated qualities, but equally important, to perhaps,
begin ... inheriting the sacred and promised positions of co-creator. These
positions, so hard to identify the true meaning of and even harder with which
to attain meaningful connection, again, begin ... to position us to 'doctor'
issues of 'imbalance' within the qualities of our Medicine Wheel Home and other
meaningful spiritual understandings and practices. It is in these and other
ways that personal medicine is built that life might be lived, 'in a good way'.
The Medicine Wheel Teachings and the Mayan Calendar are
remarkably synchronous and mutually compatible, each offering a recognized
lineage of wisdom and counsel by which to think, assess, decide and initiate
movement. Many of the Muscogee Creek tribe acknowledge migrational connection
to the Central American Maya, offering a genetic and spiritual Oklahoma and SE USA,
seat from which to consider alternate and companion views and platforms.
On January 21, 2018, 21 days from the Gregorian calendar
New Year, we will meet again to honor and receive the new season of
Spring. The new Sprouts (us) are making ready to emerge ... as are the
ashwaganda sprouts that revealed themselves in today's sunrise light. Three
weeks they have taken to emerge. We invite all sage burners and sweet grass
swingers to join in the Power of New Emerging Light and Life on January 21st (third week of January) recognized by indigenous
peoples as the first day of Spring. Let us continue moving into our new year
with gratitude, conscious and discerning alignment with the beauty of Our
Mother Earth and Our Father Sky Sun, first, most enduring and beautiful gifts
to us, from the Creator. Shewendagzewin odo pi, a Blessing Is Visited Upon Us
Here.
This year's inner Medicine
Garden was planned and
planted deep within the inner purification fires of Winter. Soon the outdoor
work will begin, but, for now, we take Sanctuary within the Bodewadmin
Longhouse of Mounds, Oklahoma,
and wish our community, the larger Medicine Circles of the Mayan Calendar and
beyond ... and ... the best, strongest, happiest, essential-precious core
center of each and every personal Medicine Wheel ... a very good New Year.
And so, it goes. AHO! Let us bring the light of the New Sun forward from the
dark of winter, Dreamers!
In the Spirit of Love and Light forever,
Bama pi, (until I see you again)
Dawn Woman
