Dia-logos

Today begins the Trecena of Ix — the Spirit of Mother Earth.

The nahual of the shrines and altars, where we make our offerings.

Where we not only go to talk to her, but to listen.

Because Ix speaks to you, too.

This is why I connect so much with these ancient, archetypal traditions. They’re about energies present in everything, not something all-powerful up there and us puny things down here, but the same frequency morphically resonating, echoed everywhere.

The difference between God and the plants is that the plants talk back.

It’s a dialogue.

A conversation, between you and the earth and everything.

This is my trecena, beginning the day after I FINALLY turned in my final journalism assignment, and felt a wave of liberation wash over me.

It’s the trecena of building altars where you have dialogues with the earth deity.

Why make stuff up when reality is this juicy?
