A View from Holy Ground

I was lucky this morning to capture the nice total lunar eclipse visible mostly from the western US. The almost 1-hour totality was nicely colorful, especially at the end, when a blue hint also appeared at the edge of the eclipsed Moon due to sunlight scattered by the ozone layer in the higher atmosphere. And by now, we need to wait for another total solar eclipse until 2028. A deep partial, however, will appear in the sky at the end of August.

I was lucky to see the stars from Kitt Peak Observatory when I lived in Tucson. Arizona is an aquatic desert. The unusual landscape was formed when it existed as the bottom of the sea. I’ve never seen the Milky Way so bright that Night was like Day.

Towering over the place is Baboquivari Peak. Waw Kiwulik (in the native language) is sacred to the Tohono O’odham Nation. The “home” of their Creator was the highest place.

Only the Holy could scale to its peak. It’s a mountain few can climb – and requires special permission to climb.

 

There are several “dark sky sites” near Tucson. The Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association hosts “Star Party” events at the New and Full Moons. They welcome visitors who contact them in advance and abide by the rules of entry. (Only red lights are permitted in the dark.) “Amateur astronomers in Arizona include the Academics who operated the Phoenix Space Mission to Mars… who observe the stars through their own telescopes in their spare time. You don’t have to have a telescope to attend. Professional astronomers are eager to share their views. It’s a Divine way to see the stars together. The only “partying” going on is the fellowship shared under the stars at night. Kitt Peak observations are special events for the TAAA, though the observatory is open to visitors throughout most of the year.  It’s a steep drive from the “bottom of the sea” with spectacular views of the landscape that you can see was an ocean bed.

3 Blood Moons in one shot rendered a perfect photo for the eclipse on 03/03/2026. If you love starwatching, look for an observatory near you. It’s unlikely you’ll find a big crowd at the destination. I’ll never forget, and the children will never forget.

2 Crocodile/IMIX (Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI) – Day 2 of 13 of the 1 Sun/AHAU trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in FREE CALCULATOR preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 2: Mysterious as the question ‘to be or not to be?” Two is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Yin/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number.

Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force; simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages, so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.

A GOOD DAY TO: Open to new beginnings.

Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI  I’SB: Turtle Island; direction East. The Turtle Constellation Orion, one of three stars in the Cosmic Egg. In Mayan is the Cosmic Hearth. Turtle is the Energy of Creative force at the one-on-one, personal level; dawn, awakening, birth. The beginning of each new era, this star in Orion appears with the rising Sun, heralding the creation of a new World cycle.
