Our Sacred Journey to Our Sources of Blessing
This spring, we flew through the sacred clouds to attend our annual Spring Ceremonies for the twenty-first time. There, in our tradition’s homeland in Mexico with our compadres, we called the rains to bless those dry lands and renewed our commitment to our ancient Nahua tradition. Now, we have returned, ready to pray for beneficial weather and mediate destructive drought and storms here in our beloved Appalachian region.
A moment from one of our ceremony days this spring: Our Temple in Mexico filled with the many offerings to the spirits of Rain, Clouds, Wind, Sun, and Lightning brought by grateful weather workers and villagers
Our weather worker brothers and sisters “from the four corners” who return to our Temple in Tepoztlán, Mexico and sacred sites each spring and fall to pray for and usher in the crucial times of wet and dry for that land. This work strengthens our relationships with the Weather Beings.
At one of our ceremonies, our effigy now known as la Virgen de los Rayos is adorned with pure white lace and abundant flowers, reflecting our fervent petitions calling the rains to bring in the lushness of spring in the arid lands of Central Mexico.
💗 🌱 We held all of you in our hearts as we prayed with great emotion for the blessings of the crystalline waters that make our Asheville region lush and green. 🌷💧
We are Adam Laufer and Erin Everett, and we are weather workers, tepahtiani healers and ceremonial leaders in the ancient lineage of graniceros (also known by our traditional titles quiaquepiz and quiatlzques). We were called to this work and initiated in 2003.
All year, we and our colleagues work for beneficial weather for the area in and around Asheville. Our work involves gratitude and giving back, elements in a universal language of ceremony that has its echoes in all authentic traditions of human beings.
We also offer healing and counseling appointments both in-person at our location in the Asheville, NC area and via phone or Zoom.
