During our magical time at the River with the Rare Phenomenon of a clearly defined Cool Mist on top of the River we were blessed in our searching for the Energy we were looking for to move specific elements of our life forward. We knew we were in a situation that we may never find again with this Mist. The Mist truly had a unique Spirit. As we first approached this spot in the water three tubers came by, the first a middle aged Indigenous Man, the second an Elderly European Man and the third a Woman. The Older Man as he passed kept saying how rare the Mist was! We associate the Mist with the Mysterio of Tiembla Tierra so the fact that it was an older Man with white hair remarking repeatedly on the rareness of the Mist was very significant.
Within the Mist the temperature variations allowed us to sense in a profound way the approach and withdrawal of the Spirit of the Mist. We made invocations and prayers within the mist and cleansed our crowns. At points when we stood up our heads were in the heat of the "ordinary air" and our bodies in the layer of cool mist. It was an awesome experience but we had come to the River looking for a very specific energy.
We were looking for a strong energy to propel something very specific forward. As the Yayi walked downstream she detected the powerful pull of the River forward and realized that with every step, with the Misterio moving with her, she covered more distance than if she was walking outside the current. As she walked the Current became stronger and stronger.
At a certain point the Yayi found the exact current we were looking for and took the opportunity to cleans her crown, making a strong invocation concerning what we were looking to move forward. Chola Wengue has many energies or Caminos that she embodies, some places she is warm and slow moving, almost swirling around without going anywhere, in others she is very cool and rapid, some places have a strong current but it is still calm, this current was powerful and shaking, this was the exact current needed for this situation.
When we go to the River for a Camino we always consider what is needed for the individual or the situation that we are bringing to the River. This way we search for the specific Camino of Chola that we are looking for, some situations need very calm slow waters, others needed rapid currents, still others could need muddy turbulent waters, others need the waterfall or even the water coming out of the ground in a Spring! Even within the River on a specific day there are so many different Energies of Chola present that she presents us so much opportunity to find that exact "Current" that we are looking to "capture" to give us the energy and its blessing for our situation.
The sunlight on the River also creates very specific energies that can be absorbed for various needs or situations. When we gather water from the River we do not just fill up a bottle from wherever there is water, we look for the specific current we are needing or we look for unusual currents that we may not easily find again. It is a well known fact that water absorbs the energy around it and the structure actually changes. This is more easily seen in snowflakes because of their solid nature, however it is equally as true for liquid water. Not all water is the same even though a chemical "test" of it would say it is. Water embodies the energy of whatever Spirits and Energies are surrounding it, including Sun, Wind, Air, Moon, Mountain, Plants and Human made structures. Even the Beaver Dams which are very prolific in this particular part of this River bring a specific energy to the water herself! As Paleros we are always seeking to understand these different subtleties better and to be more detailed in our selection of the Raw materials that we use for our work and in our selection of what Camino we take ourselves or others on!
