Winter Vision Quest Cave

by Minisa Crumbo Halsey

In this season, many inner compasses will begin turning toward seeking, creating and crawling into the blessed peace of the seasonal vision quest cave.

Inside, a deep breast of the resting Mother Earth, is where the Medicine Wheel slowly turns in an earthly circumambulation of all seed dreams, penetrated by fiery shafts of our Father Sky Sun into the mind, heart, body and Spirit of individual inner pools of quiet.

Here, ones bones can and may be deeply CLEANED: healed and loosened from the labors, challenges, cares, aspirations and fulfillments of the previous season, then slowly put back together as an honoring dream dance echo of all the ancestral journeys made before ours and those yet to come. The womb quest awaits. Draw aside a veil of the great mystery, breathe your name, make an offering and ask permission to replicate and renew the journey that all beings have made, do make and will make..from earth to sky … breath into clay … so we are made and so we reenact the sacred moves, as we see them.

For, we are the new myth makers. Many dreams and messages have been brought forward, by ourselves and others … accept these offerings, feast upon the tears of bitterness and gratitude from which they were born and prepare to embark upon making the new myths and creation stories … OUR new myths drawn from a place where our sacred beingness meets with and is fused with mysterious elements emanating from an indivisible and indestructible connection with divine consciousness and personal discernment.

This is how we stay alive and keep the world alive. This then, is our Sacred Charge. Where we will feel most alive and know who we are.

6 Road/EB (Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA)

Galactic Tone 6: Six is responsiveness and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.

Road/EB: The bearer of time and conductor of destiny; also known as Human; these persons open the road and guide to the future groups, communities and individuals alike. Likable, obedient, dedicated hard workers and organizers, Road persons are fortunate in business and travel. Many become care takers of the poor, sick, or old people, where they may make personal sacrifices. Road is sometimes referred to as the sign of grass, which is the most bountiful of all life forms, but is also the most humble. Road persons are affectionate and emphatic; they are easily hurt but slow to anger. Holding in of negative emotions and unexpressed resentment can lead to illness, a poisoned opinion of others and a false bravado for this sun sign.

Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA: Symbolized by a rainbow, the delicate display of electromagnetic rays of the SUN. Rattlesnake Tooth is the Natal day sign of Medicine, the Shaman, the Priest, the Healer, and the Sorcerer.  Guardian of the Way, Keeper of the Keys of the secret Kingdom.

THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK: LIGHT FOR A NEW LIFE

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

6 Road / EB

Greetings Kin,

Tone 6 raises the Intention of Flow. A Divine Force of Intelligence from the Center of the Seed created Momentum through a Rhythm and Pattern of Movement. Thoughts we chose as the “rules of a game” begin to take on the Life of the Intention. We always find a better way, AFTER we begin “the work.”

The Energy of Tone 6 is compared to a “great athlete.” The 6th Hour of Light is just before the Zenith Hour. By late morning, inherent within our thoughts is the Light to find our “best way.” By late morning we realize a faster pace when we’re “lost in the work” – Loving Creation. Then, we see a Higher End. On Tone 6 we are wholly invested to see how far we can really go. Tone 6 turns steps into an Expression of the Art of Life.

Road/EB is the Day Sign of Human Destiny, also known as Human. The Aztec Day Sign is Grass (Malinalli). The Maya call Human the “Time Bearer.” Time was created for the Human journey.  Human bears the Time of the Unknown. Only Time can reveal the Whole Beauty that lies at the end.

Along with Time, Human was given the Sacred Right of Choice in the image of the Supreme Creator. In the End “who we are” will be defined by all the Choices we make. Meanwhile, so will others be making their own choices. Some Times it will be hard to see that we’re growing together.

We don’t have to see the Truth in every Moment to Believe. Faith is as good as Believing. Faith is a Divine Choice that always leads to Divine Justice. Because Humans need something tangible to believe, the Truth of Divine Justice was made a Law of the Universe that we could easily believe – Cause and Effect.

Road/EB resides in the South, the direction of our Relationships with one another and with the Natural World. EB shares the ties that bind Humanity. Our Common Burden is “the hard road” – the physicality of Life and the burden of survival. Carrying prayers to an altar for the whole, we create Relationship. Through the Gift of Consciousness, we learn to step into someone else’s shoes. We will see others climbing through much harsher terrain. FEELING how hard it is, our Hearts are tied together.

A Divine Creator tends the Seed making its way to the Light. Planted in the Center of Love, roots can divinely intertwine. When we’re not too close or too far we can spread our wings, and still help to weather every storm together. Divine Forces are at Hand. When we Know our Reason, the Truth will be our Holy Ground.

EB holds position 12, the symbol of Humanity. We are the Being of Duality (2) in the “lower place” that is guided by the One Above. Humans are the 12 Tribes Below that raise the 13th Tribe. In the Choice of the 2 to be aligned as 1 we manifest the Power of Divine Trinity. When we’re all turned to the Central Truth of Love, the Warmth and Light is Felt in Harmony and Equity, completing a Circle of Divine Love.

THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK GUIDES A WAY

MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

6 Road / EB

Greetings Kin,

Peak Tone 6 holds the Intention of Flow. Tone 6 engages the Momentum through a rhythm and pattern of movement. We have one more step to the top of the pyramid. We feel the Power to reach a New Summit. 6 symbolizes the power of 3 + 3, a Trinity Above and Below working in Unity for a Divine Cause. For every Choice we make for Love, we are moving with the Divine Flow instead of swimming against the tide.

Dog/OC and Monkey/CHUEN guide our Consciousness to the 2 Highest Spiritual Tools we were given to Create the Masterpiece of our Love. The Love of a Divine Creator is the Power Great enough to heal our Human emotions. The Highest One of ALL will always understand. Letting go of our worldly expectations to turn to an altar, we would always know we were Sacred to the Highest Authority of Light, Love, and Happiness. Worldly happiness can be clearly seen as only a matter of Time when we KNOW our Intentions are aligned, Above and Below.

Road/EB is also known as Human. EB holds Position 12, symbolizing Humanity as the 12 tribes, 12 disciples, and 12 constellation. Number 12 is 2 Below and 1 Above. Through a Choice of Human Will to follow the 1 Above, the 12 manifests the 13. 13 symbolizes the Power of Theurgy, Human’s ability, through ritual and sacred ceremony, to call upon a Divine Agency to Intervene in Human affairs. Through our Choice to Follow a path of Love and Forgiveness, we will Know our footsteps are guided from Above.

EB represents Human’s Road of Destiny. As a witness to Love on behalf of the Supreme Creator, the Journey is our Destiny. Our Lifetime will tell our story from its beginning to the Divine End. At the Delta, all the worldly matters will fall away and all that will be left is the Light of our Spirit. Love is the Divine Creation of Beauty that is never forgotten. Through every Divine Intention to Love, we manifest an Eternal Life. Love holds the power of its Momentum to connect the Circle of Life.

Road/EB is a Day to Honor Humanity and the Saq’Be’ the Sacred Road, a Human calendar within. All living things were given a course of Live that fulfills a Divine Meaning and Purpose To Be. The Truth of Identity is written within the Seed. A bird will always live and be a bird. A Monarch butterfly will always know its way. Human Beings are Sacred, given the Consciousness of Love and the Sacred Right of Choice. We were given the Spiritual Tools to transcend our Human Nature to manifest the Life of a Divine Human Being. Such a Divine End wasn’t left to chance. We were given a path through which to manifest our Expression of Love. The Masterpiece of Human Creation is a Life guided by Choices that fulfill the Highest Meaning and Purpose To Be.

The glyph illustrates a Human with the Road of Destiny on Human’s head. The Choice is up to us. Every Choice we make to Love and Forgive will mark a Milestone along the way when, through a living sacrifice of Love, we Know we are Seen and Acknowledged in the Light of the Creator’s Love. With every Choice to call upon a Divine Agency, we will Know the Truth of Answered Prayers. Through every climb we create the Milestones to uphold the Pillars of our Faith that will be transformed into Believing. following the Guidance of a Divine One Above, we can make the Choice to grow into a Divine Human Being.  Human’s Divine Destiny IS the journey, when we follow a course to witness the Beauty of Life, Love, and Happiness as One with the Whole of Creation.

6 Road / EB

Greetings Kin,

Tone 6 holds the Intention of Flow. Tone 6 initiates the Peak Energy of Momentum through a rhythm and pattern of movement.

Road/EB is also known as Human, and represents the Road of Human Destiny. The journey of Life on Mother Earth is Human’s Destiny. The Whole of Humanity is the One that makes the journey from the beginning of Time. We each have our chapter in the story of Human’s history.

Road/EB is a symbol of the Tzolk’in, the Sacred Human Calendar of Creation. All living things have their own Way. Our Way is a journey of Human Seasons of experience. We think about different things with each Season. The Tzolk’in is the Saq’Be – the Sacred Road or White Way that is Human’s inherent sense of Migration toward the Realization of our Self.

Imagine what we could accomplish together, all believing we held the Power to Create the Reality of our Shared Heart’s Desire. We only need to believe in our Self and the Whole.

The Cherokee sign is the Rattlesnake Tooth, a Sacred Medicine Tool used by the shaman to break the skin in the place where the Medicine would be applied. It left a mark. Road/EB illustrates the milestones on either side of the Road. There will be Times and Places that will leave their mark.

6 Road/EB is Human’s Peak Energy of Performance. With an Intention of Consciousness, we made Conscious choices. It doesn’t matter whether we “chose wisely.” When we Consciously Choose, we will manifest the Wisdom of Our Experience. A Road within calls us to our Peak Performance.

6 Road / EB

Greetings Kin,

On Tone 6 we enter the Peak Energy of the trecena. On Tone 6 we engage Momentum through a Rhythm and Pattern of Movement. Our steps of Intention are becoming second nature.

Our Intention as the Deer is to stand in the Truth of Love by being Vigilant of our thoughts. We’re learning to dwell on Beauty and Love, pushing away negative thoughts. Dynamic developments are possible when this movement becomes a habit. It will change the way we express who we are.

Road/EB is the Day Sign of Human, and the Road to Human’s Destiny. EB also represents the Tzolk’in. The K’iche Maya call the Tzolk’in (Cholq’ij) the Saq’ Be, the Sacred/White Road.

Human’s quest is to “know thyself” and experience life through a Divine Perspective. We will always find what we’re looking for. Knowing the Creator, we’ll learn to “Know Thyself.”

EB resides in the South, the direction of our Relationships with one another and the Natural World. When we choose the Sacred Road, we are always drawn into Right Relationship. Road/EB holds the Element of Earth, the womb our body returns to and becomes part of a new generation.
