The Wisdom of Vigilant Discernment
The Deer is a symbol of a Guardian and Protector for the Safety, Harmony, and Equity of the whole. In the Mayan tradition it represents the Mission of the Mayan priest who carries out a dedicated daily practice, counting the Days, and performing the Sacred Ceremonies that are ordered for the Time. The Mayan priest is not a teacher, per se, but a counselor who offers prayer on behalf of the whole.
To carry out the task requires Wisdom and the Vigilance of Divine Discernment to protect the flock from those who would take advantage of the Offering of Compassionate Love and Understanding. We are ordered to Forgive. Though, forgiveness doesn’t mean we open the door to those that pose a threat to our well-being. It takes Vigilance to Discern Intentions of good and evil.
