The Center of my Prayers

Greetings Beloved Kin,

I wanted to share the real place at the altar where I go to call upon the Creator and the Army of Angels. Uriel is the leader of the 4 end-time angels who holds the flame of the Word in his right hand, and the Book of Divine Laws to his heart. Archangel Michael is the one that purifies and guards against all evil held under his foot. Raphael, the one set above is the Healer of our Mind, Body and Soul – I call upon his healing power to those who suffer and fear anything. That was set as the candle for Noah and now expanded to the children of the world and ALL God’s children that includes you and me. Gabriel is also there to blow the horn – sharing the wind of a Divine Voice and Communion with our Hearts, to bring down the veil between Heaven and Earth.

I remember you and the whole on every visit I make. I have reasons to pay a visit more than once every day and the altar is lit with candles throughout the day, so that when I turn in that direction I Remember the prayers that God has witnessed from Up Above, to bless us all in the Down Below.

May you be blessed with a peace beyond understanding whenever you think of the place, along with your own places that you go – anywhere is divine – either a material place, or a place you create in Spirit – where you light a candle and offer your prayers on behalf of the Whole.

all my love, in lak’ech – I am another you,
I’m grateful for every way you choose to kneel on behalf of the whole.

Debra

THE TRECENA OF SERPENT/CHICCHAN: MOVED BY THE “HAND OF GOD”

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

3 Deer/MANIK (man ‘eek), Destiny Kin 107

3 Deer / MANIK

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Touched by the Hand of God our Hearts were forged through the Word to the Light of the Highest One. Deer/MANIK is a symbol of the shaman and the Mayan priest. Another name for MANIK is Hand. The glyph illustrates the Vigilant Eye of the Deer that is focused on the Truth Above. Between the forefinger and thumb, the Hand grasps a Light of Ether, the plasma that welds us to a circuit of Divine Love on behalf of the whole.

The Mission of the Mayan priest is the Count the Days, and to carry out the rituals and sacred ceremonies as ordered by Time. All eyes are turned to see the Smoke when the smell of copal fills the air. MANIK is dedicated to the purpose to help us Remember. Holding the Gift of Harmonic Resonance, all lower vibrations are drawn into sympathy with the Purest Tone of Unconditional Love. When someone says a prayer on our behalf, we are inclined to bow in agreement with the One who creates the opportunity of Divine Trinity.

The Word of Truth speaks for itself and strikes a Note we can Feel and Hear that’s as clear as a Bell. Like the Sound of the Shofar, the Divine Truth is the Trumpet’s sound that echo’s in our Heart.

The trecena guided by Serpent/CHICCHAN holds the meaning and purpose for us to Know the Truth of our Divine Gifts of Spirit. They are a Divine Offering given to the whole in Harmony and Equity. Through the Vigilant Consciousness of the Deer, we’ll Know the Truth. That’s the purpose of our Mission to be dedicated to a daily practice that leads to an altar. Through our offerings of Atonement, we’ll Feel the Truth and KNOW our own special gifts, given directly from Above.

THE TRECENA OF SERPENT/CHICCHAN: GIFTS OF SPIRIT

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

3 Deer / MANIK

Greetings Kin,

The Serpent/CHICCHAN uses the Element of Fire to forge the “metal” of our Love into the Divine Balance of Zero. Through the Gift of “lightning in the blood” we are prepared for our Highest Human Work of Creation. We reach the top of the “Tzolk’in round’s pyramid” guided by Flint/ETZNAB, the Whole Sacrifice of Human’s Heart, for the Truth of Justice – that ALL things that ARE, have a Divine Reason To Be.

We were intended to separate the darkness from the light, so we could see the differences between one and the other. To reach the Highest Balance of Zero, we have to hold on to a little piece of the other, so each side Knows the “Whole” Truth in a Balance of Love.

If we didn’t know the darkness, we couldn’t see the Light. We know the Truth of an imperishable spark within, shining from the face of every Human child. It only takes a trip through Time to remember for another what will ALWAYS be. Life always begins reaching to know Love, the Truth we Feel and can’t forget.

CHICCHAN helps us FEEL our Connection. The Sum of the Common Sense we share is far greater than any other Truth we KNOW. There is a Common road of thought between us for a Divine One to reach us all in One Place at the Same Time. A Divine Path of migration has been well-worn in the minds of Humanity, by every living one who walked this way before.

In Divine Trinity with the  One Above we can Know our Dreams of Love are as good as Real from the beginning. Only the Human mind holds one last doubt. Faith is the Gift to see a future beyond the limits of a Human imagination. When there’s Faith, a Human Being doesn’t even have to see the details at the end to know it will be beautiful.

The “lord of this day” is Deer/MANIK, the Day Sign of the Mayan priest. MANIK is the nahaul dedicated to a way of Vigilant Consciousness. The Deer always knows it stands on Holy Ground, and maintains its position of Truth in Silence. The Deer’s Way of Happiness is standing on the Truth it CAN see, and believing in the One for all things Unseen.

The Deer’s Faith IS Common Sense, always asking, waiting, and looking for the Truth. On Tone 3 we take a step toward our Heat’s Desire.

3 Deer / MANIK

Greetings Kin,

Tone 3 holds the Intention of Movement. The Serpent/CHICCHAN is guiding a new way by our Feelings. We can’t go back. To reach the Miracle, we have to keep moving on. Life begins with Movement. Through the Sound of movement or the spoken words of our Intention we bring a new Vibration to Life. The Tone and Frequency will carry on to the end, established by the Intention in the beginning.

The only way to get from Point A to Point B is to keep moving on. The Key to the Kingdom of a Divine Life depends on a steady course of perpetual movement.

Deer/MANIK is the Day Sign of the Mayan priest, holding the quality of Stability with one foot firmly planted in each of the 4 directions. We have to keep on Loving to maintain the Harmony of Right Relationship in the South. We have to keep on facing the Unknown Future in the West, standing on the Truth that Love will lead a way. We have to keep on applying our own Common Sense and Wisdom of Experience. The Answer is always right in front of us. The Deer stands in the West, guiding a way to an Altar of Light – facing the Sunrise of each new day.

Deer/MANIK is the giver of Spiritual Tools. MANIK holds the power of Harmonic Resonance. The Mayan priest doesn’t demand a way, but only carries on its own path to an altar. When others see the the priest kneel in humility at an altar, others remember their own way and drawn to follow.

Bodewadmin Longhouse Message from Minisa Crumbo Halsey

Good morning … mno waben aanii … good day friends …

I am expanding this mailing in order to initiate important plant talk into our fall and winter gestational honor seasons, whereby we recognize and honor those seeds with which we sat and prayed last winter in the Bodewadmin Longhouse. As with the natural world or a tended, intentional garden, part of the growth can be predicted or shaped and part cannot. At this time we all, here on Turtle Island, find ourselves coming into new awareness and balance with the Great Mystery. The inner and outer landscapes are shifting. This offers so much opportunity for not only sacred choice to the exercised but also a vastly expanded view of Medicine Wheel teachings and disciplines by which to institute these choices … then bringing these ones into the inner longhouse for growth and endurance prayers.

Visit Minisa’s Dawn Woman’s Blog for the rest of Minisa’s message sharing the Gifts of Mother Earth for every Season.

love, in lak’ech, Debra

3 Deer/MANIK (Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi)

Galactic Tone 3: Action. Three is basic movement and communication, which begins as a vibration. Three energy is very eloquent in all types of self-expression. Communication is how Three establishes a point of agreement between any point “A” and any point “B”. Three persons are rhythmic to the core and are often restless, as motion is their nature. By working closely with the energy of Three, any person becomes more able to predict motions of all kinds.

Deer/MANIK (Hand): Deer are spirit tools. Silence itself is a spiritual experience for Deer. For Deer life is a pilgrimage. Deer are dominant persons who defend the people and will make sacrifices for others. The spirit of Deer upholds the pillars of the four directions. With the power inherent in the number four, Deer pushes away bad influences or negative energies. Skill and quality of work are very important to Deer. They are presented with tools for every task in life and it is with these that they are able to rise above limitations. Deer has a habit of keeping every tool it has ever used. This leads to clutter and indecision, loss and procrastination. When confronted with promises not kept, Deer becomes stubborn, manipulative and evasive.

Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi: Symbolized by Constellation Galagina, the Stag, known as Taurus, the Bull. It does not include the Pleiades and Hyades clusters which in Cherokee are viewed as separate. To feed, gatherers of food and supplies, they enjoy rituals, ceremonials, feasts, the souls of hospitality, sociability. Freedom versus security issues often inspire leadership and unique solutions.  Combined with artistic and inspiring energies in harmony with lunar cycles, they nourish the clans. Totem-Deer:  A priest or shaman, a powerful person in general, to overwhelm an individual with one’s personal power, divination; inclined to become a teacher, healer, guru, civic leader, or politician.  Ability to create harmonic resonance.

THE TRECENA OF SERPENT/CHICCHAN

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

3 Deer / MANIK

Greetings Kin,

Tone 3 holds the Intention of Movement. The Serpent/CHICCHAN is guiding a new way. We’re moved by our Feelings. We can’t go back. To reach the Miracle, we have to keep moving on. Life begins with Movement.

Our Spirit moves forward to Higher Ground when we Move by Intention. When we take a step toward our Dream of Unknown Future, Movement brings the Dream to Life. A Living Dream has its own Life Story with a beginning and an ending. It’s just an idea until we move on it.

Movement toward our Dream and the words that disseminate our Dream create a Sound in the Universe. The Tone and Frequency of Vibration are established by Intention, the Reason we move. CHICCHAN moves us forward for an Intention of Knowing. Our Heart was prepared to Feel the Way.

Deer/MANIK is the Day Sign of the Mayan priest. The Deer guides a way to Higher Ground. There is always one Deer who serves as the leader of the Whole. The Deer doesn’t defend its position. It stands in a place it has chosen To Be, through Vigilant Observation and a Discernment of its own Truth.

Deer/MANIK holds all the Spiritual Tools of Spirit. Tools hold a meaning of Power, defined by their purpose and application. MANIK leads us to the Holy Ground of Love.

3 Deer / MANIK

Greetings Kin,

On Tone 3 we are moved to take action on an Intention of Spirit. When we communicate an idea, or engage a movement toward it, we create a Vibration of Spirit. The frequency of the Vibration will be created by the Meaning and Purpose. Tone 3 establishes Agreement of a point A and point B, and connects the Power of the 2. Greater than the sum of the parts, Human and Spirit in the Harmony and Equity of Right Relationship, engage a Divine Trinity.

Deer/MANIK is an Instrument of Divinity, called the bringer of all Spiritual Tools. MANIK is the Day Sign of the Mayan priest. Like the Deer, the priest fulfills the Meaning and Purpose of observing the calendar and carrying out the Sacred Rituals and Ceremonies on behalf of the Whole. Deer is a Pure Vibration of Love.

The Deer’s greatest strength lies in its Vigilant Observation. MANIK is related to the stability of 4 with 4 legs, 1 planted in each of the 4 directions to uphold the pillars of the realm of Spirit. The glyph illustrates Deer’s connection to Divine Power is a Hand that grasps a thread of the Ether of the Divine. The means to grasp it is the circle on the Hand, the Vigilant Eye of the Deer.

The Deer knows its direction by Remembering the Pillars of its Truth in Spirit. Through its attention to Spirit, the Hand completes a circuit of Divine Power. Deer holds the Power of Harmonic Resonance, a Pure Vibration of Love and Humility. Carrying out a Divine Communion on behalf of the Whole, others are inclined to follow. The priest Remembers on behalf of the Whole.

A Deer can stand it’s ground without the need to defend or convince anyone else to agree. MANIK symbolizes the Hand of God in the world, as a Living Demonstration of a Divine Relationship. Our Spirits are attracted by the Witness of Divine Love. When one person lights a candle for Love, more are likely to follow.

3 Deer / MANIK

Greetings Kin,

Tone 3 is the first day of movement in the Serpent/CHICCHAN trecena. We bring an Intention to Life through movement or communication. Intention takes on a life of its own when it is projected into the Universe.

This life the Intention holds is our Seed of Love inspired by the Creator. In communion with the Creator, we engaged the One Mind that already knows the beginning to the end. Our movement draws an Unlimited Possibility into the Seed. Everything that is Known about it is embedded in the design. Through movement, one step will inspire the next.

The CHICCHAN trecena is igniting our Spiritual Gifts of Knowing. This is an important time to ask questions. We can ask the Creator to Know the Wisdom within the Seed.

Deer/MANIK is the Day Sign of Spiritual Tools. The Vigilance to Stand in its own Truth is the most-used Spiritual Tool of MANIK. The Deer’s life is a pilgrimage, moving in the 4 directions. All of Deer’s movements are made by Intention. Deer stands silently in its Truth and waits to see the Sign before it springs into movement. This way, every movement is known to be directed from Above. Deer/MANIK is said to uphold the Pillars of the 4 Directions. Through intentional movement, we will uphold the pillars of a Dream that was created in Spirit. The Deer’s Senses are heightened by Vigilant Observation.

10-DAY PORTAL: ELEMENT OF ETHER (Day 2)
Portal days thin the veil to the dimension of Spirit. Portals magnify our Spiritual Gifts and offer mystical experiences. We’re able to see beyond the Known to Know the Unknown. Today, a Portal magnifies the Power of our Movement in Spirit. The Seed of our Intention is germinated, and begins to cast the net to draw abundance to everything it needs to grow. Deer/MANIK will draw the Power from Spirit. (The 13-Day Trecena Guide offers additional insight on Portal Days, and why I observe them.)
