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.
I have been travelling in Texas since this Sunday Nov 13

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.

Fire Ceremoies in the Buffalo, New York Area

Greetings
This is Antonio's associate Miguel Sague with a message:
On the weekend of October 2 2010 Antonio and I travelled to northwestern New York State and I helped him conduct three separate instances of the sacred MAYA FIRE CEREMONY of his people. The attendees reported a powerful sense of peace and serenity as they participated in the ancient rite. We also introduced them to other important elements of Maya tradition including a Sunday morning and early afternoon-long session of the sacred seed readings via which many individuals were given the opportunity to experience the oracular magic of his people. I feel that this was a wonderful series of events in which the folks from this area near Buffalo, New York were given a valuable and unforgettable insight into hidden realms of Indigenous wisdom.

My Fire Ceremony at the Pittsburgh Indian Center Pow Wow



My Friends

I was assisted in my traditional Maya Fire Blessing Ceremony by my Taino brother Miguel Sague this past weekend at the Council Of Three Rivers American Indian Center Pow Wow in the Pittsburgh area. My ceremony took place on Saturday Sept 26 on the fire site overlooking the main dance area of the Pow Wow grounds at the end of the festivities. We were joined by a group of participants who gathered around us after having enjoyed the celebrations under a beautiful late September afternoon sky.

Our American sister Carolyn took this video of the event.

New Message From Teacher Antonio August 2010



My friends

This is Maya teacher Antonio Aj Ik speaking to you through the translating assistance of my spirit brother Miguel of the Taino people.


It has come to my attention that the public declarations of impending Doom continue unabated in spite of the messages that we the teachers, elders and wise men and women of my people have shared with the world. Recently my spirit brother showed me the commercials for a television program that was being announced on the North American network the History Channel called "Nostradamus 2012". My only commentary on this is; SHAME ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL.The programming excecutives and high-ranking personnel of this network are knowledgable enough to know that they are feeding useless mindless dissinformation to the public concerning the subject of our sacred calendar.


We the legitimate guardians of this ancient Maya tradition have already established over and over again that all of these associations that have been created by commercial interests such as the History Channel between the prophetic message of the Mayan Calendar and all of the fake non-Indigenous elements of the curent 2012 craze are totally false! These fake non-Indigenous non-Maya elements include all mention of Nostradamus, Atlantis, Mu, Extra-terrestials, Planet X, December 21 Raptures, Biblical Apocalypse and all the rest.


We the legitimate guardians of the ancient Maya tradition strongly encourage the people of the 21st century to stop listening to the loud jammering and noise and start paying attention to the quiet humble voice of simple Indigenous corn-farmers like myself. The elder Don Alejandro who is from my own K'iche people and speaks my language has been here in this country of the United States and even visited in the city where I now make my residence, Pittsburgh. He has stated the same thing that I am saying. There will be no Doom and Gloom but instead a sacred transition. We the inhabitants of this earth must make ready for that transition. He says the same things that I say. It is up to us as residents of this planet to go back to the old simple truths, the old simple example of the ancients, a respect for the Earth Mother and for each other.


I have met with one of the representatives of the world's Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers Council several months ago right here in Pittsburgh. Her name is Grandmother FlorDeMayo. She received my gift of a sacred codex chronicling the current 360-day tun that begins with the holy day FOUR IMOX ("4 Imix" in Yucatec Maya Language) and ends with the holy day TWELVE JUNAJPU ("12 Ahau" in Yucatec Maya Laguage). She gifted me a power necklace bearing a miniature skull that mirrors the energy of the crystal skulls that she works with. Grandmother FlorDeMayo is also a Maya teacher like mayself and like Don Alejandro. She is a respected elder and she shares our message of possibilities, opportunities and geat hope. What purpose would this powerful woman have in travelling all over the world taking the hopeful message of terrestial redemption to people of all races and nationalities if she were expecting some sort of inevitable global catastrophe.


As the History Channel prepares to air another round of insistent missinformation, I, with the assistance of my spirit brother Miguel am prearing another round of workshops and ceremonies aimed at countering the negativity raised by these false prophets of the media.


We look forward to seeing those of you who are interested in the truth. We are also interested in responding to the requests for advise, counsel and teachings which we are happy to receive.
