- This is Miguel posting...I am presently traveling in Texas doing ceremonial work here while Antonio is continuing his activities back East. We will be planning another Fire Ceremony and Sweatlodge for early December.
My work in Texas has allowed me to connect with my Mexica brothers and sisters who live in this region of Aztlan and who see this area as part of the ancestral homeland from where the ancient Aztecs migrated south into the Valley of Mexico many years ago.
I am working with the sacred Maya Calendar Cholk'ij days chanelling healing energy in behalf of a number of individuals here including a family of K'iche Mayas who live in this area. I am also using my Taino traditional practices to cleanse and purify work areas and home environment that need to be rid of negative energy.
My work with the energies of Aztec and Maya culture here in Houston brought me in contact with the sacred tradition of one of the most imortant manifestations of the ancient Mother Spirit of the Aztecs, an entity who is their counterpart of our own Taino mother spirit called Ata bey. The name of the Aztec mother Spirit is Tonanzin. Mother Tonanzin has come to be associated with the post-conquest Mexican manifestation of the virgin Mary called "Our Lady of Guadalupe" and the present shrine to this Catholic icon is actualy situated on the hill of Tepeyac, the same exact site where the ancient Tonanzin temple used to stand.
As part of my work in Houston I had the opportunity to make a brief visit at the local shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe near the Downtown area. There I asked the spirit of the ancient mother Tonanzin to help me with the work that I was carrying out in behalf of a Mexican-American family there.
