Greetings Beloved Kin,
Serpent/CHICCHAN is the Divine Force that fuels our Passion for Life. The Serpent is a symbol of Divine Forces and the Light of Illumination found in every tradition. The Serpent symbolizes god-like powers over Life and Death, the same as the Caduceus, commonly seen today to identify practitioners of the Medical Arts.
The Caduceus, symbol of God Ningishzida, on the libation vase of Sumerian ruler Gudea, circa 2100 BCE.
Wikipedia: Caduceus – Some accounts suggest that the oldest known imagery of the caduceus has its roots in Mesopotamia with the Sumerian god Ningishzida; his symbol, a staff with two snakes intertwined around it, dates back to 4000 BC to 3000 BC.
As a symbolic object, it represents Hermes (or the Roman Mercury), and by extension trades, occupations, or undertakings associated with the god. In later Antiquity, the caduceus provided the basis for the astrological symbol representing the planet Mercury. Thus, through its use in astrology, alchemy, and astronomy it has come to denote the planet and elemental metal of the same name. It is said the wand would wake the sleeping and send the awake to sleep. If applied to the dying, their death was gentle; if applied to the dead, they returned to life.
CHICCHAN symbolizes that Divine Force that awakens our Passion and Gifts of Spirit, defined by the Maya as “lightning in the blood.” Like the Serpent, CHICCHAN is the Feeling of Knowing, a supernatural sense that comes with a Divine Revelation of the Truth. We’ve all felt it when our hearts are overcome by the experience when the bride walks down the aisle. The Feeling is compared to the Kundalini energy that rises from the root to the crown, leaving goosebumps, and hair standing on end. CHICCHAN symbolizes a Quickening of our Spirit. It is so common, most of the time we hardly give it a second thought. CHICCHAN can besir the “Blood to Speak” when we’re touched by the “Hand of God.”
HOLY OBSERVANCE: SERPENTINE DAY
8 Serpent/CHICCHAN is the Holy Day observed by the Maya as the Time to See and Acknowledge the Gift that is the power behind all our Supernatural Gifts of Knowing. CHICCHAN is associated with the Element of Fire and Serpentine Day is honored through the observance of the Sacred Ceremony of Fire. CHICCHAN restores a flame that burns in our heart by the Light of Truth. The meaning and purpose of the day is a celebration of Consciousness, faculties of Discernment given by Divine Design. CHICCHAN can share a Spiritual Experience that changes the course of our Life.
