View a Powerful Shamanic Shield

Would like you to check out a remarkable work of art that radiates shamanic power to all who behold it.  It causes me to pause and marvel at the work one friend uses to help heal the world now. 

When the Eagle of the North meets the Condor of the South

Wow! So many of you are really getting into Ecuador now and really wanting to know more about it. Yes, The Maya made it that far! Yes, the Andean shamans are like no others, but they are.  Here is an excerpt from Gary and Merri Scott’s newsletter that clearly demonstrates how they got caught up in this amazing place and live there today.

Inspiring Presidential Speech

Catching up on my backlog of e-mail and want to share this with all of you here...in the event you missed it, too.

Hi Ruth,
You’re probably in India now, but here’s the speech the Mayan Elder gave at the Guatemalan President’s inauguration.
Love,  Rose Ann

Guatemala Elects Leader of a Different Kind

 We received the following via Rose Ann, who has a long and abiding interest and work with the Maya of Guatemala and is working on strengthening those ties now. 
 
Hi Ruth,
This is AMAZING news about Guatemala and the Maya!

We have a significant opportunity to help empower the intentions of our Grand Mayan Elder, Don Alejandro Oxlaj, who will be giving a speech in the Inauguration Ceremony of the new president of Guatemala, Alvaro Colom, on Monday, January 14th, 2008:

The Maya and North America

Rr,
Am working my way through Commanche Moon [Val Kilmer is probably the best thing about it], but there is talk about calling the Jaguar, and the Parrot. Interesting how close the Native American is to the Mayan...  Cheryl
 
 

Excellent Summary of Mayan Cosmology and Astrology

Ignore the ads placed on this site to support the work...or pay attention to all who want to get the word out about the Maya of old and those we know now...  Very readable presentation for anyone who knows very little about The Maya...and even for those who know a lot!

Sharing Thoughts Among Us

Here is a letter i want to share with all here...enough said...just read until your heart's content.
Hey Ruth, one of the funny things Don Alejandro said (at the recent Mayan Event held in Pittsburgh) was that there are many books about the Maya, but he doesn’t think the authors ever met a Maya.  He said that someone took his picture once and it ended up on the cover of a book, but there was nothing inside the book about him. He apologized for people being in fear of the year 2012.  He said for us not to hold onto the year because when they were invaded over 500 years ago, their records were burned. 
One thing I remembered that Flordemayo said then was that when she was called to be one of the 13 Grandmothers, she had a vision and there were other grandmothers holding a triangle prayer flag.

Evening with the Maya and one of the Grandmothers

Here's a great review of the visit to Pittsburgh by Mayan elders that we posted here...it took place last night and Millicent has taken the time and energy to let us all share in the event now.  Thank you so much, Millicent!
 
 Hey Ruth, just wanted to tell you about last night's evening with the Maya at the First United Methodist Church.
 
There were over 300 people there and it was a beautiful evening.  Sven from Point of Light (New Age newspaper) opened the evening and said that one thing he has learned from spending a day with the Elders was respect for everything.

Coming Up In Pittsburgh...Angels of the Maya

At first glance you may not see any connection to my novel Angel of The Maya, but those of you who are already into the book and living the life now...you will want to see how it all comes together when you meet Mayan elders and others who are celebrating The Way of The Maya.

Mark it on your calendars...and if you do attend...let us know what you found and if it helps you or not.

Do The Maya Have Sweat Lodges?

Today Millicent wrote to say she had completed Angel of The Maya and had gone to www.Amazon.com and entered a positive and encouraging review of the book for others who buy books there to see.  That then led her to something else, as the mind tends to do at times...and she sent me something about a Mayan sweat lodge that a very, very expensive resort was offering outside of Cancun. 
 I wrote that it was something i have never see in Mayaland or heard about...and so the journey began...but ended quickly with the aid of the internet...i discovered why we are urged to continue to plan to visit Oaxaca soon.  That journey is not over...so we continue to gather information on reasons we will be there soon....and we also found confirmation of work we did in Mexico last year.  The healing nun, whom we have mentioned many times when referring back to our work there...works much like what is described below (minus the sweating).  What is described here is so interesting to all healers and those who wish to promote good health through indigenous practices that work...that you are urged to go to the site and read more...or just enjoy the bit i have copied here:
