Council Fire, by D Malmos (2009) – One of my first acrylics and first/only published in the 2009 Daily Mayan calendar notebook, that used to be, back in the day.
My version of the story of St. Sebastian…
St. Sebastian came up today for a reason. I’m proud to consider that he is available somewhere in the Legion of Light.
St. Sebastian’s Biography – Wikipedia – Saint Sebastian (in Latin: Sebastianus; Narbo, Gallia Narbonensis, Roman Empire c. AD 255 – Rome, Italia, Roman Empire c. AD 288) was an early Christian saint and martyr. According to traditional belief, he was killed during the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians. He was initially tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him. He was, according to tradition, rescued and healed by Saint Irene of Rome, which became a popular subject in 17th-century painting. In all versions of the story, shortly after his recovery he went to Diocletian to warn him about his sins, and as a result was clubbed to death.[1][2] He is venerated in the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church.
Saint Sebastian’s remains are reputed to be housed in Rome in the Basilica Apostolorum.
What happened…
Sabastian was the Capitain of the Roman army, teaching the troups his Christian faith. It was during the time of the Christian persecution. He was call in by the Roman Emperor and then hung on a tree to be shot with arrows. As the biography accounts, he returned to the challenge and refused to deny his Faith to the end… clubbed to death.
He is the patron of many, but most notably as the patron of athletes. As the leader of the army, the requirements included strenuous training. He was equal to any Olympic winner, known for his endurance – obviously.
All our Divine Ways of Protection are different. I was thinking about technology, and that if I had been Sebastian, I’d suit up in armor. But, I’d wear the archetype of Sebastian on the inside.

Sun/AHAU is the Divine Father that tells us like it is. Suit up and show up. Your defense mechanisms are now high-tech. As long as you remember the basics, and what they symbolize, you’ll never diminish the power that is offered by the Hand Above.
Global Burner: 08/26/2023, 4 Sun/AHAU
I was the Wounded Healer at the beginning of the Fire, but on the 3rd candle, I’m ready to report for duty within the boundaries of my light aimed at the Highest One to share all around. I can’t remember what I wrote on my piece of paper, so the matter must be swept away.
All we have to know to do in the next right thing, and think about it more than once or twice. The 3rd Time’s a charm.
Training is what all the climbs are for.
Thank you Saint Sebastian for sharing the essence of your Spirit to lead the charge. We’ll be over-equipped, and as Light on our feet as a feather.
Wishing the same release of sorrow and pain to you.
love, in lak’ech,
Debra
On the 3rd Candle – It’s a humble offering, but each new candle lights the next, so I’m keeping an eternal flame until the Sunset.

TRECENA OF EARTH/CABAN: THE CLARION CALL TO LIVE WITH ALL OUR HEART
4 Sun/AHAU (Cherokee, Flower/GUN’TSI EK) – Day 4 of 13 Days that were created by the One Above. in the 1 Earth/CABAN trecena that calls to our Heart to Life within.
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.
Sun/AHAU: Day of the ancestors and connection to their guidance. The divine face of the sun – lord, musician, singer, dancer, and marksman. Suns are artistic, heroic athletes, visionaries with wise judgment who lead and defend the people. So much is expected from themselves and by other people that unfulfilled expectations are a certainty. An accumulation of these disappointments may lead Sun to evade responsibilities, not accept corrections and even build resentment and disdain towards others. Suns should simplify their lives to be able to rise and shine with unconditional love once again.
A GOOD DAY TO: Ask for Wisdom and the continued honored memory of our Ancestors.
Cherokee, Flower/GUN’TSI EK: Symbol is the Sun, place of abode of Great Spirit. The Sun creates, nurtures, and is the super communicator, the way station that relays messages and energy from other stars in the galaxy; provides energy for channeling information from the Ancestors; speaking the Living Language of Light, which ignites the consciousness in others. Gold is the color of courage and opportunity of wealth. Creative arts, master craftsman expressing divinity and wisdom through their creations. The face of the flower follows the Sun gathering the fire of creativity, illuminating harmony and balance, resonating peace and continuity within the human spirit. This is the Sign of the Chalice of the Infinite, Caldron of Creation.
