Prayer to the Snow in January

Prayer to the Snow in January

It is January, the dark time is shifting slowly towards the light, but we are still dreaming in darkness. In the deep realms of Creation, the Sun struggles in his epic battles with the Lord of the Dead.

After all, in order for there to be a hero in the sacred story, the tension between Inner and Outer, Dark and Light, and Cold and Heat must play out.

On the surface, that means that the land longs to rest. It needs its long Winter sleep, in order to prepare for its awakening in Spring. We have prayed for this, both in our Harvest Ceremony last October, and in our daily longing for balanced weather. So, let’s give thanks.

Climate crisis…or communication?

Climate crisis…or communication?

Is the Weather getting your attention? Looking at weather extremes as a "climate crisis" is one way to consider it. The connection with the Weather in the true, ancient way of living tradition can also provide real solutions to the issue of weather extremes, which may be a crisis...or it may be communication.

The Return of Sunlight Brings Prosperity

The Return of Sunlight Brings Prosperity

A few months ago, all the people in our tradition were delighted! our teacher and leader, don David Wiley, had commissioned a hand-carved ancient Nahua-Aztec Calendar Disk, or Disk of the Fifth Sun, to be carved in ancient stone. It was then leafed in gold and installed into the East wall of our Templo Mayor (main temple) at Casa Xiuhtecuhtli (House of Fire), our spiritual homeland in Mexico.

A Well-worn Path to Becoming Human

A Well-worn Path to Becoming Human

My tradition inspires and requires me to honor and celebrate the intricate web of nourishment and interplay around me, with its dangers and competitions, with its bliss and deep connection, with its profound and inherent meaning. Humbled, I remember not to take anything, or anyone, for granted, including the weather, the trees, the insects, the birds, the stars, the unfolding of time.
